Aston will probably get bored and go away when he starts thinking about next season

| Why? The Sheffield club are quite within their rights to seek redress if they believe they have a legal case!! Why shouldn't they persue it?? Just cos Halifax are in a final does not preclude people from issuing legal actions!
Halifax have state all along that it has nothing to do with the club - it's between the player and Sheffield.
If Sheffield have a case, then let them present it! If not, let the matter go away!
Halifax knew the situation when they selected Sam on Thursday. By selecting him they did so in the knowledge that the player could be subject to legal proceedings. They made that choice.
Like I said, if it's just blustering from Sheffield, the matter will go away. If not, Sam will be embroiled in the legal process.

| The supposed dispute is between the player and sheffield, so why are sheffield sending letters threatening legal proceedings to the club, and not to sam himself?

| Unless they believe by playing Sam they have induced him to break a contract and as such are also liable, in which case they have written to the club.
As I said, just cos Fax are in a final does not exempt them from legal proceedings.
If it's a genuine and proven case, Fax and player will get sued, and rightly so if the evidence supports it.
If it's not a genuine case, it will go away, and rightly so!!
Playing Sam, Fax knew that they may risk some legal action afterwards. As stated - they made that choice.

Looking at the Above, they dont have a case and are flying by the seat of their pants to get something back to ease the pain. All Aston needs to ease the pain is a nice fat Melton Mowbray to tuck into.
Seriously though if they had a strong case then they would go through the courts for Maximum impact and Damage, rather than, come on then offer us some cash . As the RFL has stated there was nothing in the bylaws to stop Barlow playing, they can't come after halifax otherwise the RFL as the governing Body would surely have to intervene and impose fines etc.

| Aston is an idiot, these kind of release clauses should not be allowed, if a player doesnt want to play for them and they want to sell him, that should be the end of it. Pursuing action against something they only invoked out of spitefulness only further increases the philosphy that Aston has a chip on his shoulder the size of Mont Blanc everytime someone wants to leave for another champiosnhip club, Grow up Aston. Your like a kid thats had his toys confiscated.
Protect your club by all means, but stop being petty, your losing as many friends as Halifax in this. Nobody will win this ultimately, money will be wasted on hearings, someone may get a verdict, but both clubs will get dragged through unnecessary publicity. Move on...

Not necessarily. The legal process quite often involves informal offers/requests first prior to the more formal and more expensive legal process commencing.
It's also not uncommon for the negotiating to continue running along side the formal process and a settlement arrived at, very often just moments before being heard in court! This is not unusual.
I don't know whether they have a case or not. If they have a written agreement that Sam does not play against them in 2010 and nowhere in the contract is the words "league programme" then Sam is at risk of being well well out of pocket.
The Fax club is a different issue. The RFL by-laws are not the law. Proving Fax induced him to break his contract is a much more difficult job in proving. Sheffield would have to prove the club (or it's agents) were aware of the clause in his contract, and deliberately encouraged him to break it to the detriment of Sheffield. - and there's the rub. That is much more subjective which a judge would use the "balance of probability" when making his/her decision.
It's not that simple. The legal process never is!
What I'm stuggling with is the notion that Aston (or the club) shouldn't seek redress if they believe they were wronged or that it's somehow Aston's fault that it will disrupt Fax's plans for the final - If he believes he has a case, he should persue it. If not, he will look daft and the case collapse in the fullness of time - which will probably be well after the 2011 grand final!!!!

More garbage before we play our final.
I don't think taking legal action is about morals or principle in this case. Sheffield have been crying to the various press outlets all week and they've made their point, let people make up their own minds if it really was about the rugby.
Barlow playing didn't affect the overall result and it's just going to cost both clubs money and then what? Probably animosity between the fans and board members and nothing more.

| but with all due respect Dors, and 'm not looking to play the opposition fan on a wind up here, the decision is Mark Aston's decision to make - not yours or the Halifax club or for people to "make up their own minds"!
You may well wish for the matter to disappear although exactly how much disruption it will cause I'm not sure. I'm not that convinced it will cause that much bother.
The decision is Mark Aston's. If he believes his club has been disadvantaged, regardless of the result or how the game panned out, he has a right to persue that! Regardless of what other motivation he may have.
