Greg Inglis headed to South Sydney - no players to be shed

The legal fees issue has been settled. They've come to an "undisclosed agreement".

I'm aware of that. But it took it's time. As will his full release if the Storm aren't happy about him taking up cap space for 2012.

Once again yet another example of believing and taking as gospel whatever the media says that suits your agenda and totally discrediting anything they say that doesn't. You really have taken over the mantle of the biggest joke/dickhead/arseclown etc etc etc of LU. Yes, that includes Gaba and let me tell you it's no mean feat to usurp the great man himself and i honestly didn't think anyone possibly could, at least in my time but you certainly have.

Bunniesgirl..... :lol:

I'd be honored to take that mantle but I wouldn't feel right stealing it from you.

P.S. If you're going to resort to name calling try thinking of something more clever. I'm quite sure I am 100% male.

You have some doubt? Even if it's really small you should still be able to tell it's there.

If they keep him then they have to pay his ENTIRE payment. So even more players have to be sacked. All that to have a guy in the lockerroom they've been in a public and bitter fight with for months. How would the rest of the Storm squad like losing mates to pay for Inglis who obviously doesn't want to be there.

And in the article i quoted where the Storm CEO discussed this he didn't mention the possibility of keeping him. It's not a realistic possibility at this point.

You don't get it do you. If Storm refuse to release him to Souths because part of the deal would count under their cap, then Inglis will go elsewhere. Whether its the Eels (but Storm hate the Eels so it won't happen) or another code (most likely), fact of the matter is Storm will not do Souths any favours and they can't afford to either.
So if the deal is indeed too much then Inglis won't be at Souths and will likely go to another code.

What you just said is the single dumbest thing I've ever heard. Storm don't get to control where he goes to you moron. It's their own fault any of this is happening, so he doesn't have to go anywhere to make it easier for him. Look at what the Storm CEO said, did he mention anything like what you're saying? NO. Coz it's not f**king possible.

 

[no name]

Inglis is still contracted to the storm so yes they do have a say in where he goes.

That's incorrect. If they release him they certainly can release him conditionally. SBW can't play for an NRL club other than the Bulldogs until 2013 due to conditions of his release, the Eels did the same thing to Jamie Lyon forcing him to play in the ESL or nothing for the remainder of his contracted time at Parramatta.

Maybe you should check your facts before you label other people as dumb.

Regardless, that's not the entire point he was making. IF Inglis wants to make the money he's been earning at Melbourne he may be forced to head overseas because no NRL club can afford the salary cap space.

Are we sure it's got nothing to do with News corp being pissy about him not joining the other the news corp team?

Possibly the most inconsequential post of this entire thread hands down.

No they don't. Their say ends at releasing him or not releasing him. And the consequences of not releasing have been talked about countless times on this thread, it won't happen and he will be released.

Nope, you're post is incorrect. You're resorting to comparing the Inglis situation with the SBW situation to make your point, that says a lot about how strong your argument is.

The two situations are completely different. SBW was getting released because of his own unfair actions, the conditions he was given were obvious. Inglis is being released because his club cheated, he didn't do anything wrong to be released.

This is how the conversation would go (if they ever bothered having this conversation because neither the Storm nor Inglis are as dumb as your argument):

Storm: Hey GI we'd rather you not go to Souths, if you go there we still have to pay part of your salary, so go somewhere else please.
GI: No I won't be doing that. I'm going to Souths.
Storm: WTF, YOU CAN'T. We won't release you !!!!!!!!!
GI: Whatever. Either release me and I'll go to Souths and you have to pay some of my contract and release some players or don't release me, pay my entire contract and release even more players. I'm sure the squad would like that.
Storm: Damn. Ok Ok Ok. Have fun in Redfern.

Inglis knows they have to release him (because the consequences of not releasing him are even worse than him going to Souths) so he doesn't have to agree to any conditions.

Are we sure it's got nothing to do with News corp being pissy about him not joining the other the news corp team?

Some of us are smart enough to put 2 and 2 together. But there are the naive types.

And that's saying something considering we've gone past 2000 posts.

No, more like this:
Storm: Gregory, don't go, souths have crazy fans who make up conservations.
GI: Me hungry. Want to eat Sydney.
Storm: How about we throw in another speed boat. And pay all your bills forever. (When I say we GI, I mean News limited, nudge nudge wink wink.)
GI: No, Anthony says I have to be my own man. So I am. If he says Its OK.
Storm: If you don't stay we'll release those photos of you and Molly Meldrum from last years end of season trip.
GI: Look, I'm going. I have to walk, it raining and the planes aren't flying. Just one thing - is Sydney anywhere near bowralville?

You're clutching at straws now. The reason for his release is irrelevent. If he wants out of a legally binding contract he has to meet their wishes. They can still keep him on their books if they wish and have him see out his contract, and make arrangements to release other players who are willing to leave instead. He cannot even negotiate with rival clubs without the Storms permission. Cooper Cronk was refused permission to speak to rival NRL clubs despite salary cap dramas because he has a binding contract with the Storm until 2013. But keep living in your delusional world.

By the way, are you related to the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland?

Exactly, they do have a say in where he goes. While there are consequences they still have the right to release him or not

At least mine was logical. You're one makes him seem like an idiot. Here's what Anthony Mundine has to say about Inglis. And Mundine, unlike all of us here, actually knows Inglis.

''GI is not a character who talks out, he doesn't like to rock the boat but at the end of the day he is his own man and believe me he is smarter than what people might think.''

I take anything Mundine says with a grain of sh*t.

 

[Eels Dude]

I'll go further. Given his own intelligence and the fact that every word that comes out of his mouth is completely off the mark, if Anthony Mundine thinks Inglis is smarter than people think, it really means Inglis is a lot dumber than people think.
