OT: NRL blocks Greg Inglis' Rabbitoh move

[SDM]

He looks like he is not the full quid these days.

 

[Freak2]

I would sign Inglis if he was willing to play 5/8 for us??
I would also like us to look at what players Suffs can release to be able to fit GI into their cap. Cough Cough Isaac.....;-)

 

[born an eel]

how can people whinge about losing a player to the NRL when the player had a gentlemans agreement to sign with the broncos. After this other clubs who where interested moved on and spent their money elsewhere, he reneges on that agreement and finds clubs do not have any money left, all his own and mundines doing.

I fear that the salary cap may soon be challenged in court, and the end result will be the games will suffer for a few individual egos.

 

[hybrideel]

isn't the whole issue with this that he is valued at around $600K on Melbournes books, so unless some other club is willing to pay the full amount he will have to leave the nrl for at least a year as Melbourne can't afford to keep him. Don't canberra have some money left and are short a centre?

 

[fish eel]

Hevy, I get your point but the cap rules are rules.

The NRL shouldn't pick and choose exceptions.

IMO, the best solution is centrally contracting the elite.

 

[Kornstar]

I'd take him, best player in the game by far!

I would play him at fullback and Hayne at 6, when Inglis came through he was devastating at fullback, he is only playing centre because Billy can ONLY play fullback!

 

[Bigfella]

If Tahu walks out what will we have - about $1million in cap sapce?

Of course we;d take him

 

[Snoochies]

I'm presuming SK and GI have a very strong relationship and just so happens we have alot of money to throw around at the moment.

Couldn't hurt to have him for a year, especially if Tahu wants to go walk about every couple of weeks.

obviously you know more than what is reported, so could you please elaborate more on all these cap rules and how they apply to this situation.:roll:

So basically, nobody knows what is going in, but we're all happy to judge

Huh?

I'm responding to Hevy devy who is talking about the cap.

I dont think we'd have the problem if he wasn't so greedy

The South Sydney Rabbitohs would like to clarify the current situation with Greg Inglis’ NRL contract that has been reported in today’s Daily Telegraph.

The situation has not changed since the Rabbitohs announced that Inglis had agreed to terms with the Club on 12 November.

The Rabbitohs are following the normal procedures of signing a player to an NRL contract and lodging that contract with the NRL for registration.

A short form contract was lodged with the NRL on Monday 15 November. Within 20 business days of this contract being lodged, the Rabbitohs are required by the Rules to lodge a full NRL playing contract. The Club will be lodging this contract within the next 24 hours.

Following the lodgment of the full NRL playing contract, NRL Salary Cup Auditor Ian Schubert will review the contract in accordance with Rules.

In the meantime, the Club continues to work constructively with the Melbourne Storm towards gaining a release for Inglis from his existing contract.

The Rabbitohs hope to have a favourable resolution to this situation within the next seven days.

Sonny Bill Williams being an example, may take 20 years for another Sonny Bill to come along. He should not have been lost to the game.
NRL should have done everything to keep him.
Now he is an All Black looking like an unstoppable Hercules.

I disagree. Why go out of your way to keep someone who has no interest staying?

TBH we've already seen blokes come through that are "the next SBW" - Mateo (inconsistent but just as talented), Sutton (perhaps not as talented as SBW but still very good), Filiga ....

SBW was a freak but I don't see why the NRL should have stepped in to suck up to him just because he is a greedy little sh*t who had no honour.

SBW was clearly a lost cause, but Inglis is different. No doubt there is some aspect of greed there but I can't stand it when the NRL sends the clear message that they don't care if a player leaves the game.

This is the reason why the salary cap doesn't work, he could of been paid by third party deals bringing more money into the players pay pool but no. I don't understand why we couldn't have a points system to keep it fair and allow these deals to go through.

 

[Eels Dude]

I would play him at fullback and Hayne at 6, when Inglis came through he was devastating at fullback, he is only playing centre because Billy can ONLY play fullback!

Even if he gets back to hid ideal playing weight, about 106kgs, he'd be 10kgs heavier than the maximum of what a fullback should weigh. He went great at fullback when he was a 92kg 18 year old but things have changed.

Too bad so sad IMO.

in my opinion a points system is unfair unless it allows a heavy discount for long term one club players.

It will also signal the death knell for several clubs as the clubs will not be able to resist the temptation to pay top dollar to secure a player and not have the finances to back it up. The richer clubs will have first dibs at the better players.

much like the EPL

the rich get richer and the poor get demoted, much like the Barcodes

And this:

Yeah No Thanks. I can't stand Mundine, Thank god we never signed him.
