Quote: Slugger McBatt "If he's gone, that's pretty low of him. He had an agreement for two more years and he's just said "see ya". Maybe bad management for Cas in seeing that he wanted out and they had chance for some cash, but if there is a notice clause in his contract and he's activated it, I can't see what Cas can do.
But if he has sold out Cas and "retired" from rugby league just so he can take the union money, I hope he falls flat on his face and is never allowed to re-register himself.'"
For any player to have done what you seem to be inferring, they deserve to fall flat on their backside.
It's high time that signing a contract meant that it was binding.
Announcing Hardacre may be to soften the blow ?
