I like this bit - "The idea of losing the player was not welcomed by us and we have repeatedly told Sale Sharks that it would be impermissible for them to talk to Solomona let alone sign him. Clear unequivocal warnings have clearly been disregarded".

Sale were warned not to proceed in the signing. It looks like we have just been waiting for today's announcement of a 3 year deal to bring this out. Very professionally done by the Tigers.

Big statement here: https://castlefordtigers.com/article.php?id=5119 Being a Trinity fan, I've never sided with Cas over anything in the past but, I'm sure that the whole of the RL world wants a positive outcome for Castleford on this one. It's bad enough when south seas players get "homesick" but, this is on another level and I hope that Cas are abel to get some remuneration for their player going over to the "dark side". I can only imagine what the Cas fans are thinking about this.

Thanks WC. I don't know if you follow your chairman Mick Carter, but his comments on the matter are bang on. https://twitter.com/MichaelC1873/status ... 2440399872

you know a few weeks ago I posted who are Castleford actually suing was it Solomona his agent or Sale and that I think they are going after all three, They just needed Sale to announce his signing and Cas acted within a couple of hours good on them.
So it's not the injuction /transfer fee rout that I thought but inducing breach of contract ,I still reckon £500,000 is possible I hope Andy Clark gets a ban or other super league clubs refuse to do business with him.
No doubt the voices on the darkside will be saying union has more money and they will win in court but this is not a banana republic we (Cas/RFL) can afford a top QC and go to court and we have a good case.
\I would be more excited to win this court case and get a hefty payout than win the challenge cup.

Come on you ford!

Mick Carter has always been praised for his conduct in the transfer market. Despite him being a relative newcomer, Sale could learn something from him. I've no issue with Sale signing Solomona but, they should have to pay for a contracted player. I dont care if he's come from RL, Darts, Wrestling or whatever and it hacks me off to think that a Union club, supposed to be run by "better" people can stoop to this kind of act, it's disgraceful. They cant say that they didn't know, as they had originally approached Cas, with a view to buying the player out of his contract and I agree with comments about the agent, the brother of a RL legend, you couldn't make it up.

Regarding Andy Clarke's actions. I think there is a good chance of him been struck-off the registered agents list.

Re: Denny Solomona speculation & implications : Tue Dec 13, 2016 7:26 pm  

absolute disgrace...100% behind Cas

Re: Denny Solomona speculation & implications : Tue Dec 13, 2016 9:53 pm  

Wrong on all levels this, Cas have all my support for what that's worth - nothing. My fear is that money does talk and cas will end up with 100 grand and a legal bill so hope I am wrong

Re: Denny Solomona speculation & implications : Tue Dec 13, 2016 10:46 pm  

Stuff Sale, stuff Solomona, stuff RU and stuff Andy Clarke and his brother Phil, weedy snakes.
