I wonder if Cas had decent insurance on him?

Given his troubles with us, I'm sure they did. Poor bit of business if so. And even then, tearing up his contract probably won't stop them hanging onto his playing registration.

Really? I didn`t know that.
Thought Cas had found him a job working for them in some capacity until his ban ran out?
He certainly has pished them off then if true.

they will still hold is registration for the duration of said contract, and i doubt Rfl would allow contract negotiations with a banned player registers at another club. it is what it is just a rumor doubt there is much truth in it.

His drugs ban makes his contract null & void.

You might be right, but how do you know this?

he doesn't but contract being null and void does not stop Castleford holding his registration, remember the Iystyn Harris saga, Leeds held is registration, when he when to union. plus has a banned player Wigan cannot offer him jack s##t until his ban is up, and then only if Castleford officially sack/release him, otherwise he will still be registered at Cas. Castleford will not have voided his contract, they will have suspended him without pay until his ban is up, then they can either pick up the remainder of his contract or release him, if Cas had noted just paid out a transfer fee they probably would have sacked him on the spot.

'Unfortunately' for Zak, he took the test and failed it.

That just means Bailey is smarter than hardaker

It's standard practice with regards to a drugs ban it protects the Club from having to pay a SL contract to a player they can't select similar to the relegation clauses.
However as has been pointed out his registration is a different matter iirc.

Zak sacked!

Re: OUT 2017 | Zak Hardaker - Castleford Tigers : Wed Feb 21, 2018 4:37 pm  

Does this mean sacked but will still keep his registration?
Or sacked we no longer want anything to do with him even though we might get some cash back from another club?

The timing on this announcement is interesting after the Wigan rumours. Cas could have sacked him at any point but appear to have made efforts to keep him on side, including, so it is rumoured, helping him find gainful employment. Yet having held back from any announcement or action and before the RFL / UK Anti-Doping agency have made any public announcement. They've sacked him. Very Interesting.
