Broncos withdraw their two year offer to Greg Inglis

[Locky24]

The contract, he promised, would be signed on Saturday afternoon. Gee had the papers ready. But Inglis was ready to dud his new club. He was suddenly in Sydney and spent Friday afternoon with his parents, talking to Anthony Mundine - acting as a go-between the club and player - and South Sydney officials. Inglis rang Gee on Saturday morning and said: "It's raining and I don't think the planes are flying."
Gee told Inglis the planes did in fact fly in the wet. At 1.30pm on Saturday, the call that Brisbane feared arrived. The handshake had apparently been forgotten when Inglis told Gee: "I'm not coming back. And I'm not signing."

Inglis is a joke.

I've got no respect for him. Honestly, what a disgrace.

- Bruno Cullen and the Broncos are a bunch of incompetent franagas. First it was the Civoniceva saga, then the Hunt saga and now the Inglis saga. Unprofessional club, unprofessional CEO and this shit should have been done and dusted months ago without question.

I've never been Bruno fan, but I can't blame him at all for what has gone on with the Inglis saga. In fact, I think he and Andrew Gee can walk away with their heads held high.
The Broncos obviously wanted no part in paying for GI's legal costs and why should they? I'm sure they'd rather not have to even acknowledge the court case let along have to pay for the legal services. That's in the past, but I'm sure there were people at the club that didn't want him there because of it. It wouldn't be a great look for the club to pay those costs, and what precedence would it set should something similar happen in the future? This isn't even taking into account the salary cap side of it.

This is a dog act of SBW proportions, and it all lays on the shoulders of Inglis. What a joke of a "man". Don't get me started on the snake in the grass that is Mundine. Let's face it. Mundine, SBW and GI are all as thick as bricks. Listen to them speak. They barely have a brain cell between them and as a result they make poor decisions.

GI is obviously an impressionable young guy (like SBW) and wants to be in the Mundine's Koori Kid's Club more than he wants to play for any one particular club. No-one could have seen that coming, but everyone will be weary of it for the rest of his career. We were lead on for months and then very publicly pissed on.

What disappoints me is that the media doesn't seem to be treating this in the same light as SBW. It seems as though most are GLAD that Inglis is going to Souths, and that it's good for the game.
A club that has enough sympathy from people to label the underhanded signing of a player with zero integrity a "massive coup" is a pathetic one.

That's cause we're the Broncos. Everyone still has sand in their vagina because once upon a time we had the balls to help ourselves when the NSWRL were holding the game back. If anything, most of the RL community will be laughing their tits off that the Broncos got shafted by GI, and slapping Souths on the back. Christ knows how Souths became so popular from being so shit.

The more I think about this, the more I'm thinking that while it's a shame we won't get to see Inglis play for us, is he really worth 600k a season? Not even close IMO. And I would not be surprised if the brilliant player that we all would want to see only showed up every few games.

At least with melbourne's handling of the matter it should dispel the myths about News looking after both Melbourne and the Broncos and the passing of inglis between the two clubs.

I'd be nervous if I was Sally Robinson. It'll be their wedding day, he'll shake her dad's hand and say "yes, I'm still keen to marry your daughter", then be off somewhere else touring the "facilities" of some other chick...then ring an hour before the ceremony and say "sorry Mr Robinson, it's raining, I don't think the planes are flying, I won't be marrying your daughter".

 

[Coxy]

Oh, btw, might not be a great investment for the Rabbit-whores anyway.

first time he gets the ball, its head high time!!

jk, this would never happen, its unprofessional and im pretty sure the broncos players don't care enough about it lol. but im sure as fans we will be making noise.

 

[mrslong]

I'm surprised that people are surprised to learn that he's not a loyal customer.

What about his Origin allegiance ffs. This is something NSW supporters have known for quite some time.

I'm disappointed of course, but we're definitely better off without him. Particularly if he's that tight with the bloody "Man". That bloke is a stain, and I wish he'd keep his damn mits out of rugby league.

Our chances of winning a premiership have just taken a nose dive, cos we've lost our main points scorer in Izzy, and his replacement. :cry:

 

[Nashy]

I see you ranting everywhere Rocky, but you're forgetting a couple of things.

1. He said deal, and shaked hands with management.
2. As above. The Broncos announced it.
3. Melbourne Storm wouldn't release him

We can't sign a player who's already signed.

Given he was seeking release because his vagina moved here, I hope the Storm can sort something out. Because as much as I hate them, they have been played into this, and now they have lost a lot of time where they could have done things differently with him too.
