Solomona case settled out of court

[snapski]

 Over £200k plus recovered costs of over £100k. To be honest I think we've sold ourselves short. But at least it's at an end and the snake can enjoy his money.

Probably about £200,000 short of what i hoped for considering his success in union, but time to move on.

[Stan Doffarf]

Still not bad for a retired player.

I think it is better than giving more money to m'learned friends. If it went to a full trial I don t think Cas could have hoped for more.

We might get Phil's column on the whole debacle now

The next step should be for The RFL to discipline Andy Clarke, hopefully leading to him being struck off, or whatever the equivalent is

The RFL should just ban him as a Rugby League agent

Now that the court case has been finalised the RFL will be able to conclude their investigation into the agent

Probably £200k plus is halfway/compromise between Cas wanted (up to £500k) and what the arrogant ones wanted to pay (zero)

[tim2]

As it's an out of court settlement I assume it can't be used as a legal precedent but it may at least have established some kind of principle that will help in future.

Andy Clarke needs striking off from the RL register - full stop! Phil Clarke also has some questions to answer as he is also a director of the sports agency which represents players.

What would Sale do if he retired from Rugby Union and went to the NRL in a couple of years?

[bird]

Its some kind of result but I think Sale got away lightly.

In that case I would make an exception and welcome him back. Just to see Sale get a taste of their own medicine

I wouldn't, I want Sale relegated and unable to pay his wages, though I dare say some other union club would pick him up

Or if he was the next to say oops I've made a mistake here . Can I come home now?

Although Cas have only got £200k ish it will have cost Sale close to the £500 grand with the tigers and their own legal costs ☺

The only thing with this kind of settlement is that it will be kept quiet. 

Hope someone leaks full details to the press.

Yeh there's a lot in that . Dirty linen and all that

[Futtocks]

Even if the amount isn't leaked, the thing they can't cover up is that they paid money to Castleford, instead of paying nothing (which is what they claimed they owed). It cannot, therefore, be claimed by anyone honest that Sale/Solomona were in the right.

[snapski]

Aaron Bower already has

[dkw]

As this is basically an admission f guilt it will be interesting to see how that moronic owner of there's explains it

[EastLondonMike]

Actually, reading the Cas statement is pretty revealing. 

Some strong comments from the club.

Assume Sale won't be saying much.

Agree, the details Cas have given seems to suggest no confidentiality clause and Cas seem happy to put it all in the public domain
