New signing

[KB80]

Wouldn't mind Mantellato and Eden on the wings
Although Mcgilivary or Johnston would be great signings

A lot seem to rate Mantellato. Not a fan personally although not seen that much of him to be fair.

Same here, he's just an 'alright' player for me and although I wouldn't sniff my nose up at him, I wouldn't exactly be over enamoured either.

Yep pretty much my thoughts on him. One of his better attributes is his goal kicking too - which we don't need.

[Tigerman2014]

We need a winger who can help get us on the front foot coming out of our own 10-30 meters which for all his try scoring ability Solomona has never provided

[ERG2012]

Exactly
This is a key area for the modern winger

I too don't see what the fuss is about with Mantellato. Steady away, average at best

[tigerfeat]

He jumps up in the air like the jester that was at sale yesterday

[Mysterio]

Don't rate mantomato. Do rate Sio.

Where's the suggestion come from about a new signing?

[da_jimbob_7]

I wouldn't mind is giving youth a chance on the wing, or go with what we have in Eden, Monaghan and Hitchcock (if fit to play)

[Mysterio]

We defo need to replace DS with a strike winger.

Who IS available?

[tigerfeat]

Carneys down the lane at the matches dont know if its possible but boy what a back line we would have if he returned

[TT Tiger]

After what was said about carney on here it supposes me people want him back. I think his defence is too weak personally.

[HuddsTigers]

Solomona is still contracted to the club.

His wages still count on our salary cap.

He still takes up a non-federation trained place.

We have not got a transfer fee to spend.

So, basically - if anyone knows someone British and free, message Steve Gill.

[tigerfeat]

Still contracted to the club but at sale yesterday doing a meet and greet what a dreadful situation

[derbystiger]

I'm happy with what we already have, Eden on wing and Zac at fullback. If we can get someone else in then fantastic, but it's not the end of the world if we don't, I think we have cover to start the season with. Has Flynn got a club yet? Not a strike winger but cheap, already knows the club and don't have to worry about quota's etc.. Then look at somebody else later on, if needed, when the whole DS saga has concluded. Having said that, if Sio or McGilvary became options then happy days. Not sure about JC, don't know if I could handle him drifting in off his wing in defence again and his customary knock ons bringing the ball back, but his positives maybe outweigh the negatives? I rate Johnson at Wakey, but with his potential I can see similar problems for Wakey ahead with bigger clubs coming in for him if he has another good year, so would stay clear. What I do know 100% is that, if everything turns out to be true about DS, I don't want to see him anywhere near Cas again.

[old cas lass]

I wonder if we would have let crooks go if the club knew this was going to happen with Solomona

[PSTiger]

Already posted this so apologies,might be on this or one of the other threads. Sio has joined Newcastle so we won't be getting him. I agree though would have been a good signing, shame Solomona didn't show his colours earlier

[HuddsTigers]

I wonder if we would have let crooks go if the club knew this was going to happen with Solomona

Seeing as Solomona is still contracted, it would had no bearing on this.

We have swapped Crooks for Hardaker and Solomona is still on our books.

Solomona is suspended. His wages are not going to be paid, and to this end, we need to approach the RFL right now to gain dispensation in the circumstances to have him taken off our cap.

[HuddsTigers]

Not what I was told the other night.

You can suspend someone but I would assume that rugby league contract indicate you can't stop paying a player until you have reasonable grounds to do so (e.g. following an internal investigation and hearing and subsequent action).

At this moment, he still counts on our cap, he still counts on our non-fed quota and we can't do anything until the matter is resolved.

I would have said same until the problem has come to a conclusion the club will have to pay the contract or we would then be opening a door of failing to meet the contract aswell

[onetiger]

hudds tigeris correct what he says.icant see any one from the club even talking about this now
they have put it the hands of the clubs lawyers so i think it best we just let them get on with it and wait for any statements from the club

That wouldn't take long though would it, as an example, if a player was reported to be drinking and fighting prior to a game and there were witnesses then I'd have thought the club would bring him in, hear his side of the story, show him statements against him then consequently suspend/sack him, breaching his contract. From the limited info I've read he's wanted out, been Tweeting pictures of Sale players, shouldn't he have been back at training this week?
