Mat Campbell, in an era of pro sports where the lure of bigger money means loyalty to a club often comes off 2nd best, has shown that things like loyalty aren't dead and buried.

Campbell, like those before him including Andrew Gaze and our own Mark Davis and Brett Maher, has shown the kind of loyalty to a single club that should be commended because unlike the 3 I mentioned he often played on a Hawks team that struggled for results (although he did win an NBL championship in 2001) and I wouldn't doubt he had bigger offers from around the league that would have been very tempting. But to his personal credit he stayed loyal to Wollongong.

Congratulations to MC on a great career and here's hoping he's not going to be lost to the NBL in retirement though I doubt the Hawks wouldn't want to keep him there in some sort of capacity.

What's the bet for his final home game they draw over 5K to the WIN Ent Cent? He deserves at least that from the Hawks fans he's been loyal to since 1996.

Without Soup there would be no Hawks. That simple. For that reason he should be NBL Hall of famer & the home court should be re-named to Mat Campbell or Soup court, just like Adelaide did with Maher.

He deserves congratulations not only for his great career and contribution to the Hawks organization but for having the class to put the club first and retire gracefully

0% chance the team is folding. It's either Ubaka extending, which he has said a number of times, he wants to do. Or Sav/Soup retiring at seasons end.

My money would be on Soup retiring.
