Greg Inglis announces retirement from rugby league

[t-ba]

Amazing player.

Souths do not deserve cap relief. If Manly had to keep Matai and Stewart on the books Souths should keep Inglis on.

Being serious though, shame to see it end this way for GI if it is the case. One of the most freakish athletes to run out on a footy field. Had his share of off field dramas but will be go down in the "legend" category and hasn't been many like him.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Why should they get cap relief?

He shouldn’t. But it’s souffs so the NRL will give it to them.

They will give it to Surgess who will fumble it and get a penalty and end up with twice as much back

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Probably the most talented player behind Lockyer to never to win the Dally M. When spudfarmers like Hayne can win it twice and certified legends like Locky and Inglis don't, well that says a lot really.

He can get f**ked for leaving the Broncos high and dry though.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

i'm surprised you've heard of him

 

[Mr Angry]

Best NSWelshmen ever to play for QLD.

A title he will never lose.

Still remember a 17 year old boy making fools of men in QLD cup.

Still yet to see that elsewhere.

Even Lattrell was not doing that at the same age.

What a player.

 

[Fangs]

One amazing footballer. Shame if had to end like this. At his best he was virtually unstoppable.

Has had some massive battles the last few years. Wishing him well in retirement and I hope Souths/NRL help him transition into life after football.

re: Cap 'relief'

If he medically retires and Souths pay him the remainder of his contract, it should count.
If he quits his contract and Souths no longer pay him, it shouldn't count. Why would an imaginary salary count in the cap? Any other player that quits or is fired would immediately free up cap space.

Pretty simple. The cap is meant to count what clubs are actually paying.
When Matai or Stewart were medically retired, they still got paid their salary didn't they?

Who in their right mind walks away from $1.5m? Unless there’s incentive to, which means that incentive should count under the cap.

We'll I guess the point is he is not in the right mind.

Blokes done everything. Jaded he can be.

Gainey wouldn’t let him leave empty handed.

 

[captain kaos]

inglis retired a few years ago based on his performances.

probably end up going out a shadow of his former self like langlands.

 

[Coastbloke]

Retired. Fronting a presser now on Sky News..

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

If I kill Boyd does that mean we get cap relief?

Probably the most talented player behind Lockyer to never to win the Dally M. When spudfarmers like Hayne can win it twice and certified legends like Locky and Inglis don't, well that says a lot really.

Ingli$ was a tremendous athlete, but Lockyer was a footballer. you can't put them together

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Freakish player, well done on a great career and I hope life after footy is just as good.

Nah, we will just string him up on wires and call it “weekend at boydie’s”

Are you suggesting an anti Queensland bias?

Pretty sure Thurston once got 3 Dally M points for a Sharks vs Raiders game.
