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?

Didnt sale offer £200k transfer fee before he "retired"?

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.

Shall wait to see official statements from Sale Sharks and the RFU...

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.
