Could Inglis still be an eel????

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Greg Inglis's future in the NRL remains up in the air after the NRL blocked his proposed move to South Sydney on Saturday.The NRL advised the Rabbitohs that it must include the full value of a number of third-party agreements relating to the Queensland Origin star's $400,000-per-year deal.Inglis, who reneged on a deal to sign with the Brisbane Broncos when third party deals failed to materialise, will now continue to remain in rugby league limbo as he is without a club for 2011.In a statement released on Saturday, the NRL explained that the rules are in place to "ensure that any third-party agreement is not in truth a vehicle to remunerate the player for playing rugby league at his club"."Given the circumstances under which Greg Inglis became available to South Sydney, nobody can have been under any doubt about the importance of ensuring his contract complied with the cap," NRL chief executive David Gallop said."The NRL had already required the Broncos to include third-party agreements within their calculation of the contract value and was insisting legal fees also be included when those negotiations ceased."South Sydney had been advised to have all proposed offers reviewed by the NRL before making any commitments.Start of sidebar.

Return to start of sidebar."They chose not to do so and it has taken some time to access all details of the agreements."It is unfortunate for Greg that he is in the middle of a difficult situation and I assured him this week that these issues do not reflect on him but that they are matters for clubs in assessing the offers that they make."He is one of the games most highly-valued players and we have assured him of that in no uncertain terms."That said the cap has to apply fairly to all clubs and one club cannot be allowed to do what others were prevented from doing."The rules on third-party deals are clear."We have worked with clubs and players by substantially increasing the amount that sponsors can pay players through the $300,000 marquee player allowance in 2011 but without rules on third party agreements there would be no point in having a salary cap system."South Sydney admitted they were "disappointed" and disagree with the decision, and will assess the situation this week with NRL salary cap auditor Ian Schubert.http://www.foxsports.com.au/league/n...-1225973134895

"HOE, allow me to clarify.
My comment about Rose-coloured glasses was more for Pops' refusal to admit that there was anything wrong with the front office. His perspective is that the leadership are beyond reproach and questions cannot be asked.…"

"Correct, we only attract the types that have always dreamt of having players numbers in their phones like they're their mates. Superfans or just businesspeople who like the idea of the express lane to the high exposure of their names.

Not…"

We have the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to do so
Parra-all-the-way December 18, 2010 at 2:46pm

yes, and not many others clubs do. I would think that would put us in the box seat, we could front end his contract as well!
Chris Johnstone December 18, 2010 at 3:06pm

Lol!!!!!!!!!!

Lets sign him!!!!!!!
LegendTHECROWEELS December 18, 2010 at 3:31pm

We are and there are no rumors he has. just hope no one on this site starts a blog "INGLIS COMING TO PARRA" unless its true
Chris Johnstone December 18, 2010 at 4:18pm

Kearney might pull some strings......plus he has to go somewhere and Storm can't keep him........

No.
Simple as that.

dont really want him. I kinda like the idea we'll have a lot of $$ to spend up for 2012, maybe the halfback we desperately need. Then again, when he's focused he's a class player. Even though his behaviour has been less than classy. Ok i doubt we'd get him but yeah would like to. (sorry if all this seemed to contradict myself. Tbh im just not sure)
