Sale claim Cas sacked Solomona

Sale’s director of rugby Steve Diamond claims his club signed Denny Solomona after he was “fired” by Castleford.

The comment contradicts previous statements from Diamond, who had said earlier that Solomona retired from rugby league.

“It’s in the hands of the legal people, but I don’t see any problems at this moment,” Diamond told the BBC.

“I’m confident that we made a substantial offer and it was knocked back.

“For various reasons Denny became available through being fired from Castleford and once he’d been fired we got in touch and signed a contract.”

Castleford are taking Sale and Solomona to court.
