1. Sets the precedent to current and future players that your club is not one that will allow someone on a contract to f**k them over.
Agreed. But keeping him in their first grade team also does this.

2. Creates a culture of players that want to be there knowing that when they sign there is no way out
Maybe.

3. Punishes those that try to subvert the professionalism of this culture
Paying a guy first grade money to do f**k all in reserve grade may be seen by some as a strange form of punishment. It arguably punishes the club more than it punishes the player.

4. Denies other teams a player thay could cost them a finals spot
But it also denies the Tigers. Keeping him in their first grade team also does this but also gives the Tigers the benefit of his services.

5. Sends a message to the fans and sponsors of the team that the inmates don't run the asylum.
Keeping him in the first grade team sends the same message.

Were you parading in the streets when Lyon left?
No

6. Humiliates people thay want to pretend to be victims while on massive salaries
Or it validates the persons claim that they are a 'victim'.

7. Shows that the game is not about friends or mates, they are a bonus, results and the fans come first.
How does leaving one of your gun players out of the starting side show that "results and the fans come first"?
