Nicky, the R/U clubs and the parent body (England R/U ) could gobble up English Super League players any time they wanted to.
As an example the Fijian players who played England at Twickers last week were on £60.00 per day expenses for the duration of their tour to Europe this Autumn.
The England team that day were on £22,000 thousand each and that has been the fee the England players have been on during the 4 match Autumn series and to follow they have the 6 Nations which means another 5 matches. Which means a total of 180,000 thousand per player.

It'll all end up being Charnley's fault.

Hope so anyway ... then we can get him back sooner than expected, before they do irreparable damage to his ability.

You've gotta laugh!

Of course it's not Charnley's fault (or Solomona's, for that matter), but yes, I do laugh!

I wonder if they have get-out clauses in their contracts in the event of Sale being relegated (unlikely, to be fair)?

I was being ironic ... or trying to.

But even if they have get-outs, I'm not sure Solomona would be welcomed back with open arms.

I realise that; a riff on Sam Burgess etc.

Somehow I don't think Solomona will want to return to SL; as long as he doesn't make a complete Horlicks of his code switch, I expect him to stay in Union.
