Pfft. Weidler probably used you as his source.Well it looks like BunniesMan isn't just a pretty face. Occasionally I talk some sense.
Haha. You skirt.Oi you two. Run at me.:thumb

IT'S potentially one of the biggest signings in rugby league history - a Hollywood superstar and a boxing champion using all their persuasive power to lure Greg Inglis to the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Crowe could not be contacted yesterday because he is overseas promoting his next movie but he has been hammering CEO Shane Richardson with daily emails, phone calls and text messages trying to get the deal over the line.
Richardson is normally happy to discuss anything about the Rabbitohs but not in this case. "I have no comment to make," he says to the first three questions
Crowe has been trying to get Inglis to Souths for a while. They had spoken on several occasions long before the Storm salary cap crisis. Mundine is also regularly in contact with Inglis and was advising him when Andrew Johns referred to him as a "black c ... " in a Blues bonding session.
(that's the most important bit IMO, his manager confirming it's an option).Inglis' manager Alan Gainey was also reluctant to comment when asked about the prospect of his blue-ribbon player wearing the red and green jersey.
"I suppose you could say it's 50-50 at the moment," Gainey said, "He admires Anthony Mundine, he's been speaking to him a lot, and Souths have seen a loophole because of the problems of getting a release from Storm."
Both clubs (Melbourne and Brisbane) are refusing to pay because it would be included as part of their 2011 salary caps. Storm CEO Ron Gauci says he is happy to release Inglis to Souths.
"We released him on compassionate grounds to go to Brisbane but Souths is fine by us as long as the legal bill gets paid," he said.

Apparently Anthony Mundine is involved in this too. F me, if this happens am I going to have to start liking him?
(that's the most important bit IMO, his manager confirming it's an option).
It looks like the only way his bills get paid is if he goes to Souths, because both Melbourne and Brisbane are refusing to pay up.
:thumb Agreed, I dont understand why this prick thinks he doesnt have to pay his own bills.or he could do something crazy and pay it himself ;-)
from NRL news on twitter:
"RR: Souths fans will be cheering. GI is rumoured to be heading down to Redfern 2morrow as a Plan B."
sounds fairly familiar to me....
I'll say it again, Richo is O/S atm.
Bingo!

How can Souths afford to pay $113k plus GI's wage bill,more creative accounting from Rusty,like Burgess for $150k this year.![]()
Just like the Broncos are upset they may lose out on a good faith deal, Inglis had a deal in good faith that the Storm would pay his bills. They stabbed him in the back as soon as he left, and if Crowe is willing to pay his bills for him then why would he.
Well when you haven't made any buys just for the sake of making buys all year, plus being smart enough not to back end any contracts so you can take advantage of the salary cap increase then you can do these kinds of things. Don't hate us for running our club well.
Your club has confirmed they back loaded Burgess contract....
But I hope Souths get him- The NRL should be supporting an aboriginal super star moving to represent that area.
Thats the thing this wad only has to pay about 30k the rest has been paid, and still refuses to pay,How can Souths afford to pay $113k plus GI's wage bill,more creative accounting from Rusty,like Burgess for $150k this year.![]()
Ig he goes to Souths then it proves what a farce our rules are
