Releasing a player we can’t replace for free to a direct rival isn’t cutting your losses, it’s bordering on retarded
The only retarded thing is your attitude imho. How are you letting him go for free to anyone. He's facing a ban ffs he's no use to anyone for two years and that's assuming he ever gets his form back! In the meantime Cas free up cash and thus space under the cap.
What exactly do you expect them to do, keep paying him whilst trying to sell a player nobody wants to buy.
Also team moral states that it's best to get shut of this kind of bad influence ASAP.
Finally is he the best FB in SL? It's pretty subjective but even if he is that's more indicative of the lack of quality in SL than anything else - he's no Slater and most teams imho could function just fine without him.
Get a grip.
