Decent result all in all for Cas plus they have hardly missed him anyway have they?

nope, not missed him at all. Plus, we got him for nowt don't forget, so great result

Yep, pretty decent result indeed!

Well done Cas.

A small victory, at least its well over £200K coming into a League club & lost to union.

Despite all the chest beating from their club, cas bottled it.

I wish I could bottle it all the way to the bank.

There is some garbage being posted on here.

This has not set a legal precedent. It was settled by agreement and the claim against the Defendants is stayed. Nobody has won/lost.

Cas haven't bottled anything. They have clearly assessed the risks of being successful in a trial and did not believe they would receive a higher amount given the litigation risk.

I am not sure on the specifics, but say if Sale's legal team put forward the offer of settlement, if Cas failed to recieve a judgment as advantageous or more as the offer of settlement they would be penalised in costs as they should have accepted the offer of settlement.

Personally, I think Cas have done well to get what they have given the risks.

It was never about setting a precedent. It was about enforcing a precedent already set. The precedent that a fee has to be paid to sign a player under contract.

The £400k is easily enough to put off any other union club trying the same thing. That is a lot of money for a player unproven in your sport, especially one Sale thought they could initially get for £50k.

I was interested to read the comments on the BBC website from the RL and RU analysts. The RU one did not mention the rights and wrongs of what Sale did, which just about sums up the problem. He just focused on how Sale's owners are determined to make them a force.

Personally I'd say Sale come out of this looking like a bunch of immoral idiots, and Cas as an organisation with integrity (and a wad of cash). I don't know where the criticism of Cas is coming from.

Exactly. We need to keep highlighting what amoral scum there are in RU - the fascists code of choice.

They might have offered that as the original transfer offer but they withdrew it and said 50k take it or leave it because by that point them & Clark had already done the move without permission.
