No.
But Bryson Goodwin is apparently meant to be coming back to join the Rabbitohs so considering the Rabbitohs cap issues, I'm not sure how they could afford Roberts even with Inglis retiring.
I would imagine Roberts isn't on small money.

Not sure.
All that I've seen said is that there will be a press conference tomorrow regarding his future.

Ok, thanks for the update. Hard to keep up to date with this stuff living overseas.

Isnt there talk that Souths still have to absorb Inglis salary even if he retires?
Bit worried about losing Jimmy tbh. He is the only x-factor we really have these days.

Maybe a swap with someone on similar coin

I can't see how this works for us. Unless a burgess or something is part of the deal. No way in hell should we just let him go. This is fucked to be honest.

His once in a blue moon line breaks aren't cutting it anyway, he doesn't pass to his winger either. Staggs is a far more valuable to the team.

Remains to be seen with Kotoni, although the signs look pretty good. With poor service Jimmy has still turned plenty of games.

Oates is a massive X-Factor too, though his form has been down a bit (same as Jimmy's).

The threat of Jimmy’s speed is enough to scare opposition though. It’s up to the halves and coaching to take advantage of it which I feel hasn’t been fully exploited at the broncos.

Yep, you don't get salary cap exemption as a club when a player retires early due to injury accumulation. Has to be immediate retirement due to such an extensive injury from a single incident they can no longer play.
So Souths will be carrying Inglis's contract even if he pulls the pin tomorrow as there is clearly no sudden injury that has caused his retirement (if he does).

I wonder how it would work if he has to retire for mental health reasons as much as his physical reasons. Heard he isnt in a great place at the moment, and its not like he hasnt had issues in the past. I think it would be pretty harsh tbh to make Souths carry his contract anyway. You never know when the next injury might be the one that finishes you.
