SUPERSTAR Greg Inglis has officially agreed to terms and signed a three-year NRL contract with the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Once the news broke TAB Sportsbet was quick to slashed the price of South Sydney into $7 for the 2011 NRL Premiership.
The $7 quote is the shortest pre-season price for the Bunnies in the history of TAB Sportsbet.
The Rabbitohs are now in the rarified air of second in the betting behind 2010 premiers St George Illawarra - just ahead of the Roosters ($8) and Storm ($9).
The Brisbane Broncos, at $9 before Inglis turned his back on the deal they offered him, are now out to $13.
In a statement just released by the club Rabbitohs CEO Shane Richardson said he is delighted that the Bunnies have secured the services of Inglis for the next three years.
Greg is one of the games best players and to have him coming to our Club is something that our members and corporate partners should be very excited about, Richardson said.
Were looking forward to having Greg as part of our club for the next three seasons and we welcome him to the Rabbitohs family.
Inglis is equally pleased to have signed on the dotted line with the Rabbitohs.
Im really happy to be joining the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Inglis said.
The past few months have been like a rollercoaster ride but now I can look forward to getting back into training and preparing for the new season.
This is an exciting time and Im looking forward to pulling on the red and green jersey for the first time next year.
Inglis's manager Allan Gainey told The Daily Telegraph online: "Greg will be at training for his first session with the Rabbitohs on Monday morning.''
