Because we were still competing to win things this season and so we need to put out what we think is our strongest team. Briscoe (who you highlighted) is one of our most talented players and we need him in the side. He doesn't get enough of the ball supplied to him, we've drastically underused him.
Even if he's had a 'poor' season, that is only in relation to his usual high standards. He's still one of the best wingers in the league.
If they're out of contract then it's fine for them to leave. They've seen through what they've agreed to do with us and they can do whatever they wish when the contract has expired (although I would have liked to have kept players like Briscoe).
I only get annoyed when players decide to just walk out midway through their contracts.
You can't really blame a player like Briscoe for leaving. He's still young, he's very talented, and he doesn't get used to the best of his ability in our side. He's extremely dangerous on the ball and yet he only really gets the chance to have a run when we're returning kicks. He'll be fantastic in a team like Wigan (who are looking for a winger), etc.
