Cas should hold out for more money. 4 tries in 3 games. Unheard of. Has he been picked for England yet?

The Tigers only wanted 500,000 for him first of all. That price has clearly risen and we are probably talking closer to 1 million now with his try scoring feats

Haha- absolutely no way will they get away with that one! Tomkins got a fee of 700k and was "performing well" for years, not just a season or two-he will have been earning one of the highest wages in SL at the time. Sale will just point to the fact that Denny was previously playing in the lower leagues and Castleford clearly didn't rate solomona very highly as a player as he was earning just 60k rising to 70k, a much lower wage than many "top" SL players so therefore shouldnt command anything like that size of transfer fee.
They need to hit them for losses and keep the transfer fee realistic.

The difference with Tomkins and Solomona is that Solomona is already "proving" his worth to Union, whereas Tomkins was a "bigger" gamble.
On that basis, surely, his value must be increasing.
I really hope that Sale are taken to the cleaners on this one.

It doesn't matter what his value is now- it matters what his value was then.
Sale will argue that Cas paid him lower wages than other players and so must have valued him lower than other players and the transfer fee asked by Cas should realistically reflect that.
If Cas are paying Hardaker similar wages then they could argue that the transfer fee should be similar.
Also Cas haven't had to pay a transfer fee to Leeds as he is on loan so Sale will try to use that to argue the losses Cas claim they have as a result of having to replace Denny.
It stinks but that's how I see it going.

Solomona never played in the "lower leagues". Also for a winger, that salary probably isn't too bad. Plus he agreed to the bloody contract

Sorry -Didn't make it clear- I meant lower in NRL compared to Tomkins which was the transfer fee I compared to.
Indeed he did agree to the contract, and if he was a decent guy he would have seen out his final year then moved on as charnley did. I'm not at all condoning how he's gone about this- but I think that Sale will try the tack I described to reduce the amount they will have to pay.

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.

Fantastic idea! Get on it! Let's hear your plan?

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.

Absolutely! I mean lowering your offer is exactly the hallmark of someone who is worried.

Another 2 years with an increasing salary each year. Plus he owed about 8 grand the club lent him. That said , Ryan mcgoldrick lent the club money back when things were grim !
