The melbourne storm have come out and said that they will ultimatley decide where greg inglis will go in 2011 there is a disbute that inglis court fees and who will take care of that SO WHICH EVER CLUB WANTS INGLIS THEY MUST TAKE CARE OF HIS LEGAL ISSUES FROM LAST YEARS COURT CASE. there is also the case of paying out greg inglises contract with the melbourne storm.
I still think that greg inglis will go to souths sydney but it is wrong he should hounour the commitment that he made with the broncos i think that it is unfair that souths can use billionaire$$$ to pay out inglises contract and his legal bills.
I THINK THIS DEAL WHEN IT BECOMES OFFICAL WILLL THROW RUGBY LEAGUE DEALS INTO DISSREPUTE.
souths have a very talented playing roster take a look at this
Rhys wesser 200,000 plus
Nathan Merrett 200,000 plus
Greg Inglis 500,000 plus
Beau Champion 200,000 plus
Chris Sandow 200,000 plus
Issac Luke (wouldnt be cheap)
Sam Burgess ( recently signed a big deal to be beileived more than 300,000)
John Sutton ( be on big money)
Ben ross ( wasted money)
Michael Crocker ( wasted money)
AND STILL INTERESTED IN BURGESS BROTHERS
AND A VERY TALENTED TOYOTA CUP ROSTER
i wouldnt be suprised if rusty is pulling a few shiftys
I am very suprised that souths can fit this deal happen when a big player becomes avalble it almost seems like they have massive money to spend remember WHEN THEY WERE INTERESTED IN JARRYD HAYNE they were rumoured to have offered him round about 500,000 something last year.
I know that SOUTHS SAY THEY HAVE HEAVILY BACKED THIRD PARTY DEALS IF YOU BELEIVE THAT.isnt that what melbourne said before it was revealed they were cheating.
I EVERY CLUB got billionaires to help them out with third party deals we should have got danny green to make THE QUADE COOPER DEAL MORE ATTRACTIVE
THIS IS A JOKE
INGLIS SHOULD HOUNOUR HIS COMMITMENT OR GET OUT OF RUGBY LEAGUE AND GO TO THE OTHER GAME RUGBY UNION

Ban third party deals - if Rusty or Stallions want to donate to their club, then so be it - let them, and let the club spend the money how they want.
All player payments through the club - that way, if a player accepts a payment from other than the club, they know it's not legitimate and they are deregistered (unless commercial business deal e.g. to promote Mars Bars or wheat Bix or whatever, signed off by the salary cap auditor).
Clubs will then pay what they can afford to players. Make a players contract reflect what they sign on for and receive.
Yes, we'll get $1m a season players.
We may even lose a Club or two due to financial stress.
But what we've got at the moment isn't working.
All the payers to one Club? Do you think that Scott Prince, Jonathan Thurston and Cooper Cronk will all play at the same club? No.
Clubs will pay overs for playmakers so that this talent is distributed evenly, rest down to market forces.
Suggestion may not be everyone's cup of tea.
We're lucky in that unlike soccer, there is a finite talent resource pool.
Not that I care too much because it doesn't really effect us, but I can't understand how the NRL Salary Cap auditor can use his 'discretionary powers' to determine that GI's legal bill falls under the salary cap, yet Matt Orford's and Greg Eastwood's transfer fees do not!
Perhaps $10M (on paper) with NRL attaching values to players so 3rd party $$$ are irrelevant. That way clubs can spend what they want but not go over the NRL paper $$$. This would certainly stop things like Lockyer getting peanuts on the cap and gazillions off cap etc etc etc. It would also assist the salary cap work how it's suppose to.
Hey - it's an idea!
Yet another over paid Rugby League player that was never taught to honour a contract, deregister him from the NRL and make an example of him, it might teach these young upstarts to think before they sign, might even teach them a thing or two about loyalty as well.
