Essendon meets with Greg Inglis..Is it a problem yet Gallop?

[Flutterby]

Greg Inglis's manager says his client will not follow Israel Folau's lead and abandon the NRL after the Queensland star was linked with a move to AFL side Essendon.

That's a very positive quote, although reading the full article he doesn't rule it out completely 100% - depending on what happens with the storm.

ISRAEL FOLAU approached the AFL - not the other way around - and he was not the only one, according to AFL boss Andrew Demetriou.

Quite frankly I am not sure if I believe this, but if it's even remotely true and our players are actively approaching other codes themselves - then the problems league faces are much more serious.

It would not surprise me, he saw the deal that KHunt received and thought he would give it a whirl as well. I don't think the comment at the start of the year wishing GWS well was any great coincidence.

Says a lot about where Brisbane was at the time he did approach them, if this is true - and considering where we were a few months ago, I would not put it past him

Sad, sad news if it is true, but I do have to doubt it because if Izzy was the desperate one, AFL wouldn't have had to pay as much for him
