Inglis may be lost to the code?

Raise the salary cap - same problem
Abolish the salary cap - survival of the fittest

That'll sort out the boys from the men haha.

- Gasnier is nothing like Inglis though, Gasnier is a massive financial risk for us, the guy is mid 30's, done nothing for 2 years, and we have lost a bucket load of real talent in 2011 & 2012 to take this gamble. All of this with no guarantee he will even return to form worthy of a borderline 1st grade spot.

- Inglis however is a current international player at the top of his game, some consider him the best in the world (I dont agree, but he is obviously top shelf).

Personally as a Dragons fan... I wouldnt want Inglis, he comes across lazy & anyone taking career advice from Mundine obviously doesnt have his head screwed on.

If you want to succeed in the NRL (without cheating), you need to take less money to play in a stronger side... not back out of deals to chase every last cent. It was a low act, at a time when he should be trying to define himself in the wake of the Storm scandal, he has a lot to prove imo, and right now if he wants to leave the NRL im fine with it.

He is 29, born in 1981

Gaz was already an important cog in us winning the comp, so we've already reaped the rewards, not saying that without Gaz we wouldn't have won but we did have a better chance with him in the side.;-)

Ooh younger than I thought, but still very much the tail-end of his career.

Is the salary cap first and foremost an instrument to keep clubs from going broke, or is it's primary goal flattening the competition?

I believe it's the former, so if NRL clubs can convince third parties to pay the lion's share of a players wage then that's a great thing.

It might be that Souths have gone about this the wrong way, but in principle I don't have a problem with it. Plus, it's not like similar things haven't been done with Johns, Fittler and basically everyone who has played for the Broncos in the past decade...

These third party payments are a good idea, however it could also open up a can of worms in that certain individuals can exploit this rule "Third Party" payments if they have the means and/or the connections to do so, it would be akin to the brown paper bag payments without the worry of being caught out. If the player was sponsered by big companies like Nike, Adidas or Mc Donalds I would have no problem whatsoever what the player can make from this.

could you imagine some footy player after a game, rocks up to maccas and gets handed a paper bag, how would you know what was in it.

By the size of Inglis' gut it would be full of Big Macs!

A bit more than a $2 meal deal I bet.

Gaz stated when he signed he won't stand in the way of emerging talent. He'll pull the plug himself b4 he gets tapped. My personal opinion however is we're yet to see his best. Let the Bunnies have Inglis...love to beat them in a GF.

Would love to beat them in the GF, they've got to make the semis first, they could have Lockyer and Thurston there as well and still miss out.

Inglis may be off to the AFL and Essenden?
