Ah, poor old 'Prince Albert' !

I really pity you, only having access to the family brain cell once every leap year.

Reality check Prince Albert, Cas have the upper hand, Sale are the Wakefield, Huddersfield, Salford or Leigh of Union, Woolongong Kukubura Wombats under 13's probably have a higher International profile than Sale Sharks.

Diamond's emails & other evidence has shot Sale's position into the gutter & they are screwed.
What is likely to happen now is that Sales top dog legal eagles will say "Oh, F€CK" & advise Sale to settle out of court for an undisclosed sum (most likely to be higher than their best £200k offer but lower than Cas claim of £500k, lets say a middle ground of £300k to £350k).

Furthermore, it is my opinion alone that should this go all the way & Cas lose, all SL Clubs & the RFL as Governing Body should contribute £10k each towards Castleford's legal costs *RFL £50k* should they be that high, as a show of solidarity & force from the RL community.

Best of British to you Cas.

No definitely not. Two different people but only one of them is a 'nice person'.

Correct, a slightly better troll indeed but simply trolls for bites. Rather sad.

Very nice touch from you sir.

Re: Denny Solomona speculation & implications : Sat Jan 07, 2017 9:03 am  

It will be interesting to see how this pans out if it goes to Court. On the one hand, it may well be decided that an individual cannot be held to a contract if he wishes to retire (i.e. Not to be enslaved). In which case the future for RL could be bleak as this sort of thing could happen all the time. A more nuanced view might be that the two sports are similar enough to suggest retirement was a deliberate act in an endeavour to get round the constraints of a contract freely signed. I am not aware of the facts but believe the latter to be more logical based on what has been posted here. Having said that, pre-Brexit our Courts are influenced by the loonies of Europe.

Whilst I like the idea of unity against the union w*****s, I do hope he's joking regarding paying Cas's legal fees.

[quote="Willzay"] Why? This is potentially an existential threat to pro RL in the UK.

I suggst we get the police to arrest everyone at the RFU on trumped up bollox and put them in the cells for a while as a show of force, isn't that how you do things...
i really hope Sale get burned and that the RFL put out a statement in the national press to say what a bunch of crunts the RFU are for okaying this.
