Inglis off to the Broncos???

[BDH]

So originally he wanted to stay with the Storm, then that looked unlikely so he was looking at big money in Brisbane. Then he decides to bail out of that deal...

HE and his manager agreed to terms, the Storm didn't.

I've got a bad feeling firming up that there will be next to zero consequences for the club or players.

Except losing 2 premierships and the entire 2010 season?

:roll::crazy:

 

[Doomednow]

Stripping the premierships and removing them from the 2010 competition was somewhat of a consequence.

:roll::crazy:

OK my bad. Should have specified that I meant beyond the current consequences. Though according to some points of view (including mine, in case you hadn't guessed) that is hardly consequence. Just the righting of wrongs. Punishment for deliberately sabotaging the competition should exceed recognition of the fact that they cheated in previous years.

 

[Brutus]

Just heard on the radio that Inglis will sign with the Broncos for two years on Monday.

So it's the Fab 3 now.

Well it would appear that Hodges won't return, contrary to reports that he is due to return within a moth. No Hodges in 2011 ? Not a bad replacement, somewhat better.

 

[abpanther]

I thought it was a replacement for Folau?

 

[Big Mick]

What a joke.

So the Broncos lose Sims, Winterstein and Folau but able to afford Hannant, Inglis and Tronc mid-season.

Yeah that's balanced in the books.

Surely they'd need to let someone go?

No Hodges in 2011? Haven't heard that one ... Hodges was only shown this week talking about coming back before the finals.

They have been rumors about his not appear at all this year due to the confidence issues he'll face ... not great for finals football.

There were also rumors was eyeing off England as well ... but they've been crushed. But who knows ... any backline with Inglis is worth it.

PJ Marsh was forced to retire in preseason, we released Joel Clinton and Steve Michaels. Plus we lost Hunt and haven't replaced him.

 

[Slammin]

Hodges won't return? Any source or just your rear end?

As far as I'm aware Inglis is Folau's replacement

 

[Big Mick]

Really?

Marsh and Michaels were on nothing.

Clinton..yeah he was on decent coin.

You also upgraded contracts when Hunt left and signed guys like Ben Te'o etc.

I just don't buy the fact you wont have to release someone else to make room for him.

Hodges, Inglis, Lockyer, Wallace, Thaiday, Parker...what are they on no money at all? If all are on between 300-500 thats a massive chunk. Then you got guys like Tronc, Kemp, Te'o etc...

End of the day...Good on the Broncos for fitting him in...but I would have preferred to see him go to a team like the Knights, Canberra, Sharks or Cowboys.

Marsh was on at least 250K and Michael about 120K.

Thaiday, Parker, Hodges are all up for renewal next season.

Hodges would be on good coin about 300-350k.

Parker isn't what you would call a game breaker so he wouldn't be commanding big dollars.

Thaiday is due for a upgrade because the contract he signed was when he was a impact player off the bench.

Kemp is on peanuts after failing at the Warriors and returning with his tail between his legs.

Te'o would be around the 200-250K mark and before this season hadn't showed much.

Believe it or not but Tronc was returning to Australia to play QCup before the Broncos stepped in.

Why talk with sense and make constructive arguments when you can make stupid irrational rantings such as Big Mick's?

Anyone seriously doubting whether we can afford GI or not should just rethink about the reason WHY he's probably coming to us in the first place :roll:

Tronc would be on absolute peanuts.

 

[Brutus]

Some of these players just don't want to go near Sydney clubs.

I can fully understand that.

If Inglis goes to Brisbane then so be it.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Don't have a problem with Inglis going to the Broncos as long as it isn't subsidised by News Ltd.

 

[pantherz9103]

Amazing how the Broncos keep signing all these big names up. Let Folau go, bring Inglis in. Life's easy enough for some...

 

[macavity]

so he can continue to suckle at the News Ltd teat?

Consistent success, great stadium with big crowds certainly has its pull.
