If it's Inglis, the biggest signing in history is way off. He's old and broken. **** off to some other club.
In saying that, it wouldn't surprise me. They need to offload someone to get Burgess in. So, release their broken fullback, who lives off his QLD glory, and send him to another club.
Would we see that? That is a mighty big assumption to make that Reed would be the one to go if he was signed even if you wanted that. Bennett may have other thoughts including where he would actually play and I wouldn't be surprised if he did have other plans then those of simply wanting Reed gone.
Three scenarios I see from this if Inglis was signed in no particular order
1. Boyd moved out onto the wing or into the centres to make room for Inglis who has really stepped up another level since making the move to fullback, so much so when he has played centre in recent seasons especially SOO his been disappointing and would need to improve, don't take that as me saying he isn't capable of. I know people will say Boyd is Bennett's pet and would never move him, but Bennett also said Boyd was currently the club's best fullback, that would change.
2. Assuming he does play centre the possibility still exists that Reed remains in the centres.
3. Like above but instead of Reed someone like Kahu, Copley etc
Even if it's true about Inglis, I don't regard it as our biggest signing ever anyway. Bennett, Lewis, Miles, Dowling, Conescu, Scott gave us instant credibility as a franchise, Langer and Lazarus would lay the foundation for future premierships. Tallis and Mundine were big figures during the Super league war etc
