Greg Inglis announces retirement from rugby league

[Mr Spock!]

Seems some are so salty they want payments which haven't been made included in clubs' caps.

 

[Vic Mackey]

And not getting paid?????

He can get paid all he wants, it has to go on the cap. He isn’t forgoing a cent, he will still get paid his contract in full, however it will be spread out Over years through some dodgy job that doesn’t exist.

He can still have a job at Souths for the next 18 months, however he should be paid his playing contract and it goes onto the cap. After the 18 months he can get a job for life that doesn’t go on the cap.

Do you not understand how easy this is to Rort? What is stopping a club offering say Adam Reynolds a 12 year $10mil contract ? Then after 8 he retires, runs water for the next few years on $200k a year. Once his contract expires he gets some admin role on $1mil a year.

Rubbish!

How many players have forsaken their own contracts?

He could have taken the 1.5 million AND he would still get a job.

You can't put money on the cap that isn't being paid.

This is no different to a player retiring then taking up a coaching job like fitter.

What school did you graduate from, TBoon?

Pre school. After a couple goes.

I’m sorry, I blame myself. This is clearly beyond your comprehension. I apologize, really.

Young was being brought down and totally blindsided. Any idea that he could "sidestep" is dumb as f**k.

That said it was more a timing issue than anything on GIs part to be fair

Diasgree with this. Do you think if it was one on one and the centre didnt already have hold of Young that Inglis would have tried to shoulder charge him? he saw and easy cheap shot and he took it.

 

[Tiger5150]

he has a Contract to play which is under the Salary Cap.

What is to stop Roosters signing Cooper Cronk next year for a 4 year Contract for $5M and then at the end of next year they all say, you know what I retire?

 

[Exsilium]

You mean to say, that a club with an underperforming, highly paid player, wouldn’t find creative ways to get him off their books?

Say it ain’t so!

Didn’t Gasnier do something similar. Was getting paid 60k or something like that for the season in which they won the comp, same year storm were out for cap rorts

Say it ain’t so!

What would be typical of the NRL is not only to overlook this obvious cap rorting scheme, but probably top up Gregs payment. Im serious.

JT and DCE life time contracts will be something to watch if their performance drops off

The NRL will wait for said fantasy rort and judge it on its merit there and then.

Not if they allow this current rort, a precedent is set.

Probably.

What I meant was the timing of the fall/hit. I don't think he meant to smash Young in the face. Sure he probably wanted a cheap big shot, but not to knock Young's skull out through his ear hole.

Anyway I was agreeing with you...lol. No way he could have stepped that.

 

[simmo05]

A fair test would be if the insurance company pays out as a career ending injury. If they do, exempt it from the cap. If they dont, you wear the cost of signing a broken down has been

 

[BranVan3000]

So Souths should be covering $1.5 mill in the cap for two years for a guy who is never playing again?

 

[BranVan3000]

So it’s now being reported that Inglis will be paid $300k a year for an off field role at Souths.

Let’s get this straight:

* walks away from a $1.5mil contract to give Souths salary cap relief

* gets a $300k a year job in Souths office for let’s say, ohh I don’t know, 5 years?

* NRL sign off on it

And people are trying to say this doesn’t stink?

How does this affect the cap? They could pay Inglis $5 million a year off field and it still wouldn’t matter to the cap if he never plays again

 

[slamminsam246]

Definitely. Manly were made to do it x 2 players last year - why shouldn't $ouffs be made to do the same with GI?

 

[Bazal]

People seem not to realise that the Tigers promises to Farah could act as an extra inducement for him to come back.

Inglis is not coming back.

If heavily back-loaded contracts have been stamped out I can't see how Souths or any club benefits from signing a bloke for 4 years on big money to then have to pay them f**kloads for nothing whether on the cap or not.

If you're offering a bloke 4 years and only expecting 1 or 2 that merkin is shot already.
