They should have shelved Bennett as soon as his trade request went public. His play this season has not improved his value. If anything they would have been best by having "playoff Sam" as the last impression the league got of him.

Agree 100%.
In fact I believe there is a split in the room because of it.
It may be entirely coincidence but the club was 4-3-1 when the request happened IIRC. Then he was sat for a game or 2.
Since that time, they are 11-16-2 i believe.
They certainly do not play for one another which is a huge indication there is no chemistry and probably friction within. Maybe its not Bennett still being here but it 's something.
Darryl will identify it and Treliving will address it....just not going to make a difference for this season but hopefully cleans the slate for next year.
