MELBOURNE Storm have earmarked a major announcement for 2.15pm today – in which it is expected Greg Inglis will be confirmed as a watershed Broncos signing. As revealed in The Courier-Mail, it is believed Inglis and Brisbane have agreed to terms for 2011 and beyond, with an official confirmation expected to be just hours away.
While the Storm are remaining tight-lipped about the nature of today's announcement, it is believed the Storm have agreed to release Inglis to meet its salary cap requirements.
The remainder of Melbourne's "Fab Four" – club captain Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk – are expected to remain to rebuild the shattered club.
With Inglis likely to be paid around $450,000 a year by Brisbane, Melbourne will likely pick up the remainder of his $650,000 annual salary.
