Inglis signing at Broncos delayed

Posted by Jpav on August 19, 2010 at 6:37pm

Nine msnA dispute over new player contracts has prevented Brisbane from making official the prized signing of superstar Greg Inglis.Brisbane Broncos recruitment director Andrew Gee has been forced to cancel a meeting with Inglis and his manager Allan Gainey on Friday to sign the two-year deal, because of concerns by the Rugby League Players Association.The RLPA were on Tuesday given five days by the NRL to review the new contract guidelines.In the wake of Melbourne's serial salary cap rorting, the player, his manager and club chief executives now have to sign statutory declarations that all figures on contracts have been revealed."We were going to sign the contract tomorrow (Friday)," said Gee as Inglis remained unsigned."We'll have to try and reschedule it but it'll depend on what the player's association decides to do."

It's because of the stat decs issue

You are correct Rod, apparently Inglis doesnt wish to be so forthcoming with releasing all of his payment information to the NRL.

Makes you wonder, is NewsLtd trying to pull another swifty - as was the case with the Melbourne Spooners.

Yep correct rod, it's nothing for us to get excited about!!!

I think it has more to do with the players association wanting to read the relevant documents from the NRL about the introduction of that stat decs.
