Greg Inglis signing thread.

[quote="Je$ter":32pf5cdm]Locky, Hannant, GI and Hodges would take up a large chunk of the cap - at least 300k each you'd imagine.

Guys like Thaiday, Parker, Tronc, Wallace and Kenny would all be on 120+ I reckon.

The rest would range from minimum 50k to 100k. Someone like Gillett would be on bare minimum plus bonuses, and Kemp would be in the upper range of that.

I think you're underestimating the prices there. Isn't the minimum amount for someone in the clubs top 25 players something more like $80K? If this is the case, I think all your prices are underestimated by $30-50K[/quote:32pf5cdm]

Nah top 25 minimum is $50k.

Kemp is on nothing, he is working at a pub so he can survive.

Quite a few "up there for only two years" references in the Channel 9 interview; best we make the most of the two years!

***BELOW IS PURE RUMOUR AND SPECULATION AND IS PROBABLY WORTHLESS***

I wonder where Hodges fits into this, if at all. I know someone who claims to know a bit about Hodges' recovery from his injury and if he is to be believed, Justin is not doing all that he can/should to recover. The club is aware of this. With Inglis coming and the abundance of backline talent we've developed, is Hodges looking at a release to go to SL or another club?

I personally hope he stays to partner Inglis and make up for 2010 but if the Broncos want to lock down the young guns after 2012 they'll need to look hard at their veterans now. Also even with Hodges playing I agree that Brisbane would seem to still be inside the cap for next year.

 

[Black Philip]

I personally hope that he doesn't play again this year, just to be safe. Didn't he say recently that he hasn't run at full speed yet? If he isn't at that stage now he should leave it till next season.

GREG Inglis will take a $100,000 pay cut to join the Broncos as Brisbane chief executive Bruno Cullen last night blasted suggestions the club had rorted the salary cap to sign the Melbourne superstar.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal Inglis has agreed to a significant downgrade on his deal with the Broncos, whose base two-year contract is less than the $575,000 a season the superstar Maroons centre earned in Melbourne.

It is understood that even with a marquee player allowance and a sponsored car, Inglis's deal with Brisbane is worth no more than $520,000 annually. A purported $30,000 ambassador's deal with the Former Origin Greats (FOGS) organisation has not been included in Inglis's Broncos contract because of a dispute with the NRL over the specifics of the arrangement.

Inglis's manager Allan Gainey last night hit out at the "hugely inflated" salary estimates - some as high as $660,000 - that sparked fresh concern over Brisbane's ability to snare rugby league's most devastating centre within the code's salary cap laws.

Gainey confirmed Inglis had taken a financial hit to join the Broncos.

The pressure is now on the veteran player agent to bolster the Queensland Origin star's potential earnings by tapping into the club's vast corporate network.

"Greg has taken a pay cut to go to Brisbane," Gainey said.

"I am so sick of reading incorrect figures. The figures are so hugely inflated it's not funny. Greg could stand to earn more but the onus is on me to find those third party deals."

Reports yesterday suggested the Storm had provided at least a $40,000 subsidy to the Broncos - but Gainey claimed Melbourne had not outlaid a cent.

"Greg has not been paid anything from the Melbourne Storm to leave. I would like to verify that," he said.

"He's just relieved the whole thing is over and he can focus on football."

An angry Cullen also went on the attack last night, insisting Inglis had taken less to join the club.

"I am suggesting quite strongly Greg has taken a substantial pay cut to come [here]," he said. "Claims we have rorted the cap are ridiculous."

I've been very critical of Bruno in the past, but my word his leadership has been outstanding in this whole affair. From the very level headed and patient negotiations to get Inglis, and then this excellent squashing of the inevitable rumours from rival clubs and media.

A superb way to end what has been at times a controversial stint as Broncos CEO. Well done Bruno.

Locky, Hannant, GI and Hodges would take up a large chunk of the cap - at least 300k each you'd imagine.

Guys like Thaiday, Parker, Tronc, Wallace and Kenny would all be on 120+ I reckon.

Lockyer would be on at least 500k, Hodges im guessing about 300-350k.

iirc Wallace got a HUGE upgrade to what was rumoured to be somewhere around the 250k a season mark, after hed played like a dozen games for us. Tronc wouldnt be on much, as he was thrown a lifeline by us. Thaiday would be on far more than 120k though, probably around the 200k mark imo.

I wish he was staying now haha. Go Bruno

I reckon Locky gets a fair bit of his coin from 3rd party payments though. I'd like to think he is on no more than 400k from under the salary cap.

 

[Big Pete]

Yepz, Lockyer took a pay-cut last year.

And Thaiday will be getting WAY more than $200K as of 2012. He'll likely be the Broncos' highest paid forward...and given Hannant is rumoured to be on $350K...that's going to create some cap pressure.

Geez Sims did ok at 240k... Do any of us think he earned that? Anyway good luck to him.

Coxy agree with your comments re Bruno. The response from him and the club has been emphatic.

Yep, Sims was over paid that was why the club was so keen to let him go.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Gotta say I'm loving all the haters that have come out of the woodwork at the moment, both amongst the fans and in the media (Masters and co.). Newy fans telling us that we're a threat to socialism and the sustainability of chocolate wheel clubs like the Knoiyghts and Sharks, and that our club should be dismantled for crimes against Rugby League. Absolutely loving it!

 

[Bucking Beads]

Yep they are still going on about the Super League war... Get over it I say.

No way.

How good is Winsterstein at 80K though? It's like the time I bought a car for cheap that was worth a lot more cause some old guy died and his widow didn't know the true value of it
