Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.
If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

Quote ="bren2k"Quote ="Hightown Tiger"It seems to be coming from a Wakefield fan who is either bitter or is trolling. Either way, in my opinion, the only time Cas should ever need advice from our Wakefield friends on our legal matters is if we one day find ourselves in administration.

You're far too sensitive - I'm neither of those; is it not possible to discuss the facts of the case - that was of interest to the whole sport - without being deemed a troll; unless you're cheerleading this as a landmark victory for Cas?
For what it's worth, I've admired and supported the stance that Cas have taken all along; they appear to have been absolutely in the right from day 1 - and Sale, Solomona and the agent have behaved reprehensibly. I wonder if the RFL have offered much support, or if Cas have been left to manage it themselves?'"
I wasn't referring to you, I'm a frequent visitor to the Wakefield forum and your comments usually come across as reasoned and sensible. I'm referring to an earlier comment from a different Wakefield fan which I've pasted below, which started a lot of the 'have Cas done the right thing' debate.
Quote ="Egg Banjo"Castlefords decision to avoid going to court and securing a legal precedent will come back and bite another club in the backside. Sale obviously expected to pay a fee for him in the long run and have secured an international class winger for a fraction of what a RU developed player would cost. I only hope that the club which is bitten is Castleford again as they were the ones who had the chance to stop it happening once and for all but buckled when someone flashed the cash in front of them'" |

Quote ="wrencat1873"In the aftermath of this case, RL does seem to be losing the publicity battle, with Sale (and Diamond in particular), claiming that they got their man for 5k more than the original plan and the most uncomfortable aspect of this, is that, there is nothing to prevent other players "leaving" the game in just the same unsavoury way that Solomona ">did.'"
I agree with you on this. I know we are in the era of fake news but Sale are going back further in time and adopting the old Goebbels approach of if you tell the big lie often enough then eventually some people will start believing it. I do wish the RFL were more aggressive on this. It is not libel to call someone a liar if there is evidence to back it up. Call out Sale and Diamond for what they are.

Someone needs to set up a Kickstarter fund raiser to entice Josh Charnley back to RL by just walking out on his Sale contract, to see if Steve Diamond still feels the same as he does now.
