Greg Inglis announces retirement from rugby league

[Someguy]

I hope it’s not so, thought it may be for the best.

Big question is how does this affect Souths cap, will this be the first medical retirement on the grounds of mental health. Not a Souths fan at all but I believe he should be able to leave and Souths not be burdened cap wise if retirement is the best thing for his state of mind

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

He can take Boyd with him....Please.

 

[Someguy]

He can take Boyd with him....Please.

Conspiracy theorists in me says he is tanking so he can re unite with daddy

No way. We've seen enough "incidents" explained away without question because mental illness.

Maybe don't sign physically busted and mentally fragile blokes on massive contracts when they're clearly not up to it.

 

[jiorl]

its probably for the best that he retires

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

He’s done based on what I’ve heard. Souths should get cap relief

 

[txta2]

He is so out of shape, I thought he was Sam Thaiday for a second.

Haha yeah , relief for what? Signing a lazy has -been isn't an unwritten rule. Tough titties.

 

[Springs09]

Disappointing if true. Despite his struggles and shape he was easily one of the most entertaining players in the game at his best. If he was fit and firing his whole career would probably be a level above smith and thurston. Used to almost single handedly dominate origin and tests.

Would have been good to see him get back to somewhere near that level before he left the game.

 

[Exsilium]

He’s been on the decline for years.

His knees were shot years ago.

If he retires, it’ll be best for his body. It’s utterly f**ked

 

[AlwaysGreen]

To return to Melbourne.



Via speedboat

 

[Generalzod]

He can now go cruising in his boat

 

[DeeJ]

He can take Boyd with him....Please.

You have to put your body on the line to get injured. Darius will play until he is 54.

 

[kbw]

At least 2 years too late.

Terribly good player that tainted his reputation by pretending he was a fullback and not retiring when he should have

Why should they get cap relief?

 

[Fufu Andronez]

At his best was an absolute beast. One of the best ever imo.

Wouldn't mind him just taking the year off and then re-assessing for 2020. You're a long time retired..

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Should retire and become a geography teacher.

Aeronautical engineer.

To be fair, probably would do a better job than the ones currently at Boeing.

Why should they get cap relief?

if they do there's going to be a flood of retirements
