Post subject:  Cas - Sale - Denny
Looks like Sale have caved. Radio Leeds have announced that an out of court settlement has been agreed with Cas to drop the case. Many thought this was going to happen especially after Diamonds email came to light as proof Denny was planning to retire etc....

Cas wanted £500k. Im guessing it wont be this figure but has to be heading in that direction for Cas to settle. Just hope the correct figure is given.

Looks like a win for RL.

£440,000 thats what Wigan payed for Offiah and thats what I think fair damages would be for steeling Solomona especially as hes doing so well in Union.
£300,000 might be enough to get Sale out of court but I think we should continue against Solomona and Andy Clark.

of cource it will all be undisclosed.

I wouldn't settle out of court. A ruling needs to be made to prevent this happening again!
The RFL should encourage Cas to turn down any offer!

Rugby (either code) is a small world, and every Premiership club will be aware of the out of court settlement having being made, not necessarily specifics, but aware that Sale have had to concede.

That should be enough to deter this situation happening again, which was a pretty unique situation anyway.

Do Cas/RFL really have to waste their time going through the courts to prove their point? Or do they take the settlement money, forget about Solomona and crack on trying to win things and push the club forward?

This must go to court, the RFL should guarantee Cas costs, there must be no grey areas in this episodes conclusion. Once won turn the attention to the player and agent

I think you are making some hefty assumptions here.
Cas would have liked £500,000, Sale will be trying to pay as close to £0 as possible.
To avoid court, Cas may have settled much lower that you are thinking, maybe getting up to £200k.

Remember, the £500k figure was always a "dream figure", nobody is ever going to threaten court action for the actual figure that they expect, it will always be very much on the top side.

As others have posted, this still could do with a legal ruling, just to prevent the same thing happening in future, in either direction.
Even when the Aussies "retire", whilst still under contract needs addressing.

As long as the settlement covers what Cas need financially (both costs and a transfer payment) AND makes it clear that Sale acted in an unethical and dishonest manner then there is no need enrich any lawyers further by dragging it on.

However this settlement now clears the way for an immediate investigation into the conduct of Andy Clarke to determine whether he should have any involvement at all in RL.

Indeed it does. That's who/what the RFL should be turning it's attention to now.

The figure still needs to be agreed so possibly could go to court if Sale try it on.

Cas wont settle for 200k WrenCat. Gauranteed.

Also we need to know if this agreement is only for Sale....Because if I were Cas, I would carry on chasing Solomona and Clarke.

You may be surprised.
Although you are right about Clarke & Solomona himself.
Having said that, IF Cas have got somewhere near the headline figure (500k), they will struggle to get further payments out of the player and his agent as well.

I dont understand what you mean by the figure still needs to be agreed.

If they have made an out of court settlement, necessarily, the figure has to have been agreed, even if it hasn't yet been handed over and Sale will, very likely, have covered themselves and the player in their agreement, although, maybe not the agent ??
