Castleford Tigers have launched legal proceedings against Denny Solomona, his agent and Sale Sharks after the Aviva Premiership club on Wednesday confirmed his signing on a three-year deal.Solomona, who scored a record 42 tries in the 2016 Super League season, was contracted to the Tigers until 2018 but Castleford say he has effectively and unilaterally walked away from the remaining two years on his contract.Castleford say they repeatedly told Sale that Solomona was unavailable and it would be impermissible for them to talk to Solomona let alone sign him. The club add that clear unequivocal warnings have clearly been disregarded.The Super League club will now take the matter to the High Court.Unfortunately we are not privy to what has happened over the last three months between Solomona and his agent but on the back of losing the player in the circumstances described and now announced by Sale Sharks we confirm that today we have issued Proceedings out of the High Court in Leeds for damages against Denny Solomona for breach of contract (dated 20 November 2015) and for damages including exemplary damages against Sale Sharks Ltd & Andrew Clarke (Solomonas agent) for inducing breach of the said contract, read the statement from Castleford CEO Steve Gill.Gill continued: The proceedings have been issued as a last resort having failed over the last couple of weeks to try and resolve matters without the formality of court proceedings. We have confidence that the legal system will bring out all of the facts and the truth.We are fighting this not just for Castleford Tigers but also for the integrity of all sports including of course rugby union clubs. Our belief is that all contracts are sacrosanct in professional and amateur sports.Sale Sharks boss Steve Diamond faced the press on Wednesday and said the club hope to sort out a deal with Castleford over Solomona.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- No. 19 Louisville is facing a different kind of opponent in its opener against upstart Charlotte after recently kicking off the season with the likes of Miami and Auburn.The Cardinals are 40-point favorites in Thursday nights matchup against the 49ers, who begin their second season of FBS play trying to end a 10-game losing streak. Thats asking a lot of Charlotte, which will face its first ranked foe. Add in that Louisville returns several players from a squad that won eight of its final 10 games, including the Music City Bowl.Louisville began the season 0-3, its worst opening since 1984 and players are determined to start better this season. With consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference games against Syracuse and No. 4 Florida State the next two weeks, the Cardinals hope all phases -- offense, defense and special teams -- click in a game theyre expected to dominate.Its no different, senior defensive tackle DeAngelo Brown said this week. Weve just got to focus on ourselves, what were doing as a team and do the things weve been coached to do.Louisville enters with more offensive stability thanks to the maturation of dual-threat sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson. Four of five linemen are back along with a seasoned receiver corps that has added former Cardinals quarterback Reggie Bonnafon to the starting lineup.Brown (40 tackles) is among several leaders on a Cardinals defense that also features leading tackler Keith Kelsey (107) and Devonte Fields (11 sacks). Not to mention, a veteran secondary.Charlotte also has experience that it hopes will translate into a more competitive season. The roster features 15 returning starters and more than two dozen seniors who helped the 49ers win their FBS debut against Georgia State before growing pains kicked in.Charlotte coach Brad Lambert hopes his team savors and builds on playing a Top 25 opponent- even if they are huge underdogs.Its a good challenge for us but I like wheree our guys are, Lambert said.dddddddddddd What do we have to lose? Its going to be fun. We have an old team and an experienced team. ... Well go out, have some fun and enjoy the moment.---Here are other things to watch when Charlotte visits No. 19 Louisville:JACKSONS ACTIONS: Louisville sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson came a long way after having his first career pass intercepted on a failed trick play. Despite combining for 2,800 yards offensively with 23 touchdowns last season he vows to trust his protection more, recognize coverages better and become a better pocket passer. Coach Bobby Petrino is curious to see if those improvements counter Charlottes multiple defensive fronts. They will probably try to come after us, try to give him some different looks and bring pressure, Petrino said, so it will be good to see what happens.49ERS OFFENSE: Senior RB Kalif Phillips has rushed for school records of 3,113 career yards and 37 touchdowns -- including 961 last season. Charlotte will unveil a new QB in Kevin Olsen, a Miami signee who won the job last spring. He played last season at Riverside (California) City College.CARDS KICKING GAME: Sophomore Evan OHara takes over as Louisvilles place kicker while redshirt freshman Mason King handles punting duties. OHara has the tough job of succeeding reliable John Wallace, but Petrino said he has shown good height, distance and consistency in fall camp. King meanwhile has shown a quick release and good hang time while being pushed by fellow freshman Austin Johnson.OPENING BIDS: Last seasons loss to Auburn in Atlanta was Petrinos first opening-game defeat in 11 lifetime contests. He has won five of six openers in two stints with Louisville.---Follow Gary B. Graves on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/GaryBGraves and APs College Football page at collegefootball.ap.org. ' ' '
