AS ESSENDON publicly declared their interest in NRL superstar Greg Inglis yesterday, rugby league and South Sydney supporters can be buoyed by the news the Test star has been looking at real estate in Sydney.

A source close to one of the third-party deals that the NRL skittled confirmed Inglis has been active in the real estate market and remains focused on a future at Redfern.

His furniture will this weekend be transported to Sydney from Melbourne.

However, Inglis's manager Allan Gainey said his future was still too uncertain to be going ahead with any purchase of property and that he was more likely to rent in the short-term.

Bombers coach James Hird said he had yet to meet with Inglis but that he was "an awesome athlete".

"Greg has got to make a decision on what he wants to do with his football career, what code he wants to play and then a club like Essendon can come into the picture if he's interested in playing AFL," Hird said.



However, The Daily Telegraph can reveal that Inglis was in Melbourne yesterday sorting out personal affairs, flew back to Sydney last night and will spend Christmas on the Sunshine Coast with his new wife Sally Robinson's family.

Hird rejected the suggestion that recruiting Inglis would be a promotional exercise. "Unless he can help us on the footy field, we're not interested," he said. "Our list won't be seen as a novelty no matter what we do."Hird said it was too early to say what Inglis could bring to the AFL and added that the rugby league star would need an extended period to adjust to the unique skills of the game.

I have a mate whose Uncle lives next door to an Estate Agents brother, and the Estate Agent told his brother who told his Uncle, who told my mate, who told me that Greg looked at a couple of homes near Oatlands.....(psssst Mum's the word)

I know, but it doesn't hurt to report this stuff

 

[Eels Dude]

There hasn't been any talk of Inglis coming to the Eels at all. If the Souths deal falls through, which I don't think it will, we probably won't even make a play at him.

there was some interest, it lasted with one phone call to Alan Gainey who basically said that regardless of what happens he won't be playing for any other sydney club, it ended there.

Boxhead can dream all he wants, prior to T and Guru leaving there wasn't going to be any mpre signings at all than we had to convince Hicks and fats to come out of retirement for one more year on 2nd tier deals..

poor old boxy will be very bored up until our first trial on the 13th of February.

It's very simple.

His two former assistant coaches are now with us.

They would of enticed him by now if he was any chance.

I don't really care whether we sign anyone to be honest, I always gave us 1% chance of signing Inglis anyway.

Thankfully we've got the EPL to keep us occupied until the trials

This is where I'm confused. If Hicks and Whatuira are in 2nd tier, who the hell is in our top 25? I can only get to 21 and I'm not sure on 4 of those

 

[Twizzle]

Ingliss has been quoted on Foxsports as saying the trip to Essendon was not a publicity stunt.

Does he think that everyone is that gullible ?

Yeah, but remember he is somewhat limited. :crazy:

well i guess we'll be running with a 21 man squad with 22-25 to be used up with players on incentive deals if that maskes sense.

I don't think it's that vital to fill those spaces.

 

[Eels Dude]

Well it's not a second tier contract then, as the top 25 have to recieve a minimum base salary of 55k, with incentives possibly on top of that. A second tier contract is the next rung down.

I'd say our top 25 would be

1. Hayne
2. Burt
3. Reddy
4. Atkins
5. Humble
6. Mortimor
7. Robson
8. Fuifui
9. Keating
10. Poore
11. Hindmarsh
12. Smith
13. Shacks
14. Mitchell
15. Horo
16. Mannah
17. Webb
18. Lasalo
19. Macguire
20. Maitua
21. Murray
22. Hicks (don't recall any mention of his deal being second tier)
23. -
24. -
25. -

They'll have to do some promoting from somewhere, whether it be Walker or a couple of younger players.

 

[Jake the snake]

Is it possible that we will now front load payments for current deals so we can free up even more room for 2012?

I don't believe that's actually legal nowadays.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

I thought we resume on the 6th.

No, the 6th is Thursday, we start on WEDNESDAY 11.00am 5th Jan 2011

I'd say our top 25 would be

1. Hayne tick
2. Burt tick
3. Reddy tick
4. Atkins thought I read he was 2nd tier
5. Humble tick
6. Mortimor tick
7. Robson tick
8. Fuifui tick
9. Keating tick
10. Poore tick
11. Hindmarsh tick
12. Smith tick
13. Shacks tick
14. Mitchell tick
15. Horo tick
16. Mannah tick
17. Webb tick
18. Lasalo tick
19. Macguire tick
20. Maitua I assume the way his will work is someone else on min pay will take his top 25 spot until he officially joins team where he will take spot back - assuming he is getting over min pay
21. Murray tick
22. Hicks (don't recall any mention of his deal being second tier) me neither

Not sure about Filiga, Pele, Manuokafoa or Allgood
