For a fee in excess of 200k. Sale, Solomona and Clarke will also cover all Cas' legal fees.
It seems Solomona and Sale were stupid enough to sign a contract whilst he was still actually playing for Castleford. Makes a mockery of Sale's claims they did nothing wrong and believed Solomona to be a free agent!

| I'd hope with this now over the RFL will do the right thing and ban Andy Clarke from being able to represent RL players.

| Well done Cas! Win the 3 trophies and you can claim to be the first team to win the quadruple.

I would absolutely love it if the RFL banned Clarke from being able to represent RL players

In excess of 200k. Plus all legal expenses covered (approx 100k).
Even better is the fact we have replaced for free him with a better winger (Eden), can use some of the money to buy the league's best full-back (Hardaker) and have some cash left over.

| I might sound a bit greedy here but was expecting something in the region of 400K. I would also have liked the case to go the whole way and get a legal decision from court.
Other than waving a wad of cash - what is there now to stop anyone else thinking of "retiring" to RU ?

Yes it is. The club seem pretty happy with it from their statement but didn't Cas Tigers state they were seeking half a million in compensation ?

| Bit disappointing. But why risk case distracting club towards business end. Probably cost sale less doing this way than paying the high transfer fee castleford wanted end of day. Not a big win.

Yes, but this included legal costs should the case go all the way through the legal process.
I would imagine 300k now is not much less in terms of profit than 500k would be if the case had gone all the way through a high court case.

I highly doubt it. Solomona has cost Sale 300k plus their own legal fees.

| 200k plus 100k legal fees so 300k total which is decent. It also cost Sale legal fees too which will be around the Same figure. Cost Sale 400k where we get 200k for a player we aren't really missing at all.
It's more a less been confirmed Hardaker has signed up for 150k from Leeds this week too. I know I would rather have Hardaker and Eden over Solomona for sure.

| The money is about the right fee for him as an individual I think, but what appears to be missing is the most important thing in my opinion; a public apology from Solomona, Clarke & Sale for the disgraceful way they have conducted themselves throughout.
I personally feel that all rugby league clubs should refuse to work with Clarke again. If his players want to continue playing RL then they have to leave him.

| Conceivable that union clubs will give the cnt a wide berth after this too. Maybe Sale will sue him?

It's not £300k. Cas have already spent £100k and are just recovering that cost. They have received between £200-250k which is alright but not a massive fee for a player that broke the try scoring record and has been scoring loads in RU and already played and scored for England RU.

£200-£250k for a player who has already bogged off is a pretty good outcome. How many other RL players have been sold for in excess of 200k?

| He also gave up 2 soft ones before scoring that winner. He's been replaced at Cas by a better all round player who's on course to absolutely smash his record too. That money now will in all likelihood be put towards keeping Hardaker and having some spare.

But then we signed a player for free who is on course to smash that said record. Horses for courses.

| on the surface it looks like Sale have admitted liability, but probably some bit of paperwork will absolve them of any guilt, Cas should now persue Solomona, as he, and they (Sale) are in the wrong, again probably won,t as we are RL and should be greatful for any crumbs that fall off the table.
The RL should also seek to maximize as much publicity as possible, so as to make the RU think twice before doing this again, l won,t hold my breath.

Yeah that's fair.
If we can rip NZW off for £700k for Tomkins Solomona should be worth about £500k!
