Carney in the right, the snake on the left. We would have had the best wingers in the League.

What people need to realise is the way he left was 80% down to his agent.

If he hadn't of gone to Sale, he would of signed for Wigan / Leeds / Warrington / Saints the year after on mega money (relative for RL anyway!), Clarke was the bad apple and he was going to milk his cow anyway he could, Solamona was just gullible enough to listen and follow.

I hope he's sorted himself out, got the help he needs from the right people and can live a happy life wherever he ends up!

Any idea what type of money Solamona would of been on playing union as apposed to what he was on playing league? Some say money isn't everything but id say 90% of people can be bought for the right price.

Depends who you believe, but taking a median of the rumours he was on between 50-60k at Cas and 200k plus a season when he jumped ship.

If true, who can blame him?

There's a right way and a wrong way to do things not one person would have blamed him for going to take the kick and clap money but he chose to try and screw over the club that had supported him I agree his agent had a lot to do with it because he was as thick as two short planks and proberly coudnt have come up with such a cunning plan on his own
