How do we do that when he’s contracted to the club until 30/11/2022?
If you read rest of my post I said come to some sort of agreement with the player.....

If we can offer him something to cut his contract short and use his money elsewhere.
But the player has to accept whatever is on offer, which will be significantly less than what he’d get if he sat out the two years on his contract.

Maybe those who appear to know Sosaia’s financial situation can advise if he can afford to do this or not?
This is when the rich backer of any club who as plenty of money should put their hands in their pockets and pay him off. I'm sure Wigan, Warrington and Saints would pay off a player that wont be playing as he is always injured. If Fulton is rich as people say paying Feki off would be small change but I get the impression he won't put his hand in his pocket.
Nobody backs a RL club financially to make money. They do it because they love the club and want it to do well. Now's a time to pay some money out for the club to get another winger and have a better season.

What if insurance covers this seasons wage for him if it's confirmed as a season ending injury? Apply for cap dispensation, as we did with Gale, and use Feki's wage to get someone in for the season. The only cost to the club then would be rehab time etc.. Now I have no clue if this is even an option as I'm not sat round the boardroom table and have no access to insurance policies, contracts, terms and conditions etc.. I'm just trying to see how things would work to try and minimise cost without having to 'pay him off', which would be dead money. Yes, in an ideal world we would come to an agreement and part ways but that costs so alternatives need to be looked at first with a 'financial agreement' as a last resort. Let's not forget that he would be well within his rights to demand the full contract value if we want rid. Employment law is always on the side of the employee, not the employer, unless gross misconduct is proven.

If insurance covers his wages then that's the way to go. However if not we need another winger anyway to cover this season and like I said the owner has plenty of money. If he puts his hand in his pocket it doesnt effect the club finances. Fingers crossed they can get the insurance money though.

Well said, some people would rather correct you on your grammar than add anything of interest.
There's a fundamental difference between not getting the grammar right and constructing a post so poorly that in renders it almost impossible to understand. That just wastes everyone's time.

The above shouldn't be confused with posting something that someone subsequently disagrees with. Nothing wrong with that.

I get the feeling that if Cas let him go he'd fully recover, get a contract elsewhere and rip us apart first time back darn t'lane.

Looking at a 4-6 month recovery time so best case scenario he will miss 3 month of the season which leaves a large chunk of the season left.worst case misses half a season.think the club will stand by him and hopefully he can add some competition at some point for us

Really is almost impossible for the kid now, it has been so long that unless he is devastating when he eventually gets on, I am not sure he can win.
I tell you one thing though if he fights back, gets fit and say plays 10 games this season and a handful tries, then he is made of something because it would have been miles easier to shake hands, take a deal and clear off home half the time.

Confirmed 9 to 12 months injury by Powell. He has had surgery. Despite the frustration wish him a speedy recovery and good mental health.

That's crap, I suspect that this is the end if I had to guess.
We will essentially have a player at the end of this who hasn't played for 2 years on a one year deal, I doubt that is tenable for either party.

Cannot imagine what the he's going through personally, when you come to another country as a sportsman, that's your identity without that, you're on the other side of the world with nothing to do.

Feel for him as a human.

Yes. Very tough for him and his family. Not good.

I wish him well whatever happens.

Just a thought. Have we ever had a player have to do the nude run at end of season 2 years running, because the way it's going he will be doing just that.
Feel for him and his family though.

They'd have to rename is a nude walk. Can't see him running in all honesty!

Anyone else heard a rumour he’s not going to be out as long as first expected ?
