Disagree
Sale Sharks sit 10th in the Aviva Premiership.
They are hardly "Manchester United" or "Wigan".
They are a decent English top flight club, not in the same caliber as Leicester or Bath .
Cas should no way "bite the bullet" or there will be an exodus from the sport.

I cannot believe that ANY RL fan could holy the view that "King James" does and you should immediately abdicate
your self titled throne

He was also a gamble when Cas signed him and this was his first season he really looked like a record breaker (with thanks to Dorn/Gale/Webster). For all anyone knows the club might have been planning to offer him an improved contract/extension next season however when a player comes demanding more cash or they'll walk out on their contract its one way to quickly stop that from happening.

I know the Cas website isn't all singing all dancing however if you believe the Sharks website is professional you're clueless.

Solomona's contract with Tigers was £49,000 last season, rising to £60,000 this year and then £70,000 in 2018, the final year of his deal.

Yeah - I wonder if this legal team advised Sale to to put a bid in for 200K and then, after it was turned down, put another offer in for only 50K ? Great idea.

I'll tell you what I recon. The "best legal advice possible" advised Sale Sharks that little old Cas Tigers will buckle and won't take you on in court.

I just took a look. Not particularly impressive.

This Lebron bloke is just a Rah, Rah boy trying to stir up trouble.

No, of course not. Offering £50,000 for a "quick and quiet" deal (when they have previously offered £200,000) is exactly what a company does when they think they have done nothing wrong.

Ah yes, money = sense. A website really sets the moral standard here, you numpty.

Exactly. He was signed as a mediocre winger from a relegated London side on a decent wage. He then had an average/above average 2015 and then signed an extension at the end of that season. Broke a record and turns it into this. I don't care if he wants to leave the club, but he's acting like a spoilt brat.

I am assuming this Steve Diamond geezer is the same welshman that turned out for Wakefield Trinity back in the 80s?
