he didn’t even get a look in at Reds this season so no surprise to see him leave, this is a hard one though, you could argue that they should make him see out his contract but there’s also risk of injury which ruins his next season/contract, not sure what that looks like in terms of insurance. Maybe it’s cheaper/easier/more fair to release him.

On a base contract like he's probably on there's probably not much reason to get in the way of any release even if there's not much being offered to buy out his contract. It's also possibly he wasn't on a full year contract and instead just given something for the season + Lions with a chance of upgrading if he made his mark. Letting him go now frees up room to focus on players coming in for next year over super AU.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out with some of the more established departures though. I wouldn't want Blyth released early to the tahs unless they buy out the remainder of his contract in full, for example. Particularly given they didn't come to the table on a loan of Kailea this season.

Was more thinking it leaves Brothers in the lurch a bit.at this time of the season but thats amateur vs professional gig i guess. Reds made it pretty clear through selection that he wasnt wanted so cant blame him looking for opportunity, be nice to finish QPR season though
