This from the VT

"Cas have reportedly turned down an offer of £300,000 for Denny Solomona who still has 2 years left on his contract, Cas stating he's not for Sale in more ways than one.
Today Solomona posted a picture with himself with Sale players playing table tennis which was removed.
reports from Sale are that his signing is immanent.

Cas just released a statement saying he is still not for Sale and it's know in the hands of their lawyers.

rumors are Solomona has retired from Rugby league so Sale can sign him for no transfer fee, if this is true and is legal then any league player can be signed by Union at anytime for no fee?"

---------------------------------

Sounds quite messy if true, wonder if getting no money for Solomona would effect Cas' ability to sign Hardaker permanently.

Very underhanded from Solomona if true, not sure if I was a cas fan I'd still want him at the club.

Can't see how could remain there anyway now even if somehow it can't happen legally. Completely shown a lack of respect to his teammates and coaches and it's depriving the club of potential crucial big money.

Just wonder if he ever handed in a formal transfer request. Whilst in their rights to turn it down if so, when a player doesn't want to be there and the potential for a big fee is on offer then probably should've let him go. If he didn't ask for a transfer request then it really is a c**t's trick to go about it that way.

As you guys know and still SOME Cas fans are yet to realise, no 1 player is bigger then the club.

Surely if Solomona "retires" from RL & then rediscovers his appetite for sport in the other code that is still breach of contract?
As many teams have found it's hard to enthuse & get the best from a player who wants away, even without considering the impact on the rest of the team.

Re: Hardaker : Wed Nov 09, 2016 12:24 pm  

His earning potential in RU will be many multiples of what can earn in RL - their career is short do the best by the lad.

Says a lot about the bloke's integrity. If the rumers are true, he's treated all the staff and fans at Cas with utter disdain.

Re: Hardaker : Wed Nov 09, 2016 11:21 pm  

Players are happy to bleat about loyalty etc when it suits them, and remarkably fast to bring out the short career mantra (or servitude in the case of Hardaker) when they are given long-term deals which they no longer want.

Seems to be happening a little bit more now these days

We had 2 players last season who tried and got away with similar tactics.

Jake Emmit (Can you release me from my contract I want to play in Australia) - Few weeks later playing for Swinton

Rangi Chase (I have fell out of love with the game and want to go dig holes) - Few weeks later playing for Cas

And

It appears to be working

Has the Serial Miscreant gone then?

But not finally gone, obviously, not contractually anyhow.

Who claimed the club had done a great deal and received a £160K transfer fee from Castleford? <GUFFAW>

He's not a Serial Miscreant, cos...
