Inglis Saga comes to an end

The Greg Inglis saga continues but the Broncos involvement has ended. In what can only be described as a fantastic decision, the Broncos have withdrawn their contract offer which leaves Inglis as a relatively free agent in the Rugby League world.

Rumour has it that Andrew Gee sat down with Inglis on Friday and asked for Greg's commitment in relation to the Broncos. Allegedly he gave a verbal agreement to Gee and then headed down to Sydney to talk to Shane Richardson and South Sydney. Gee issued a 24 hour deadline for commitment from Inglis and this deadline elapsed without a peep from him.

This decision is an extremely positive one for the Broncos. It shows our own players, and other of course, that no one man is bigger than the team. What makes me laugh a little is that Greg has said that he turned us down for "personal reasons" and that he is looking out for himself. Considering the deal was going to be around $500,000 and he was released on compassionate grounds initially anyway, I find this hard to believe. That being said, good luck to you but prepare for a hostile welcome whenever you trek up here.

A few people have been fairly critical of Bronco fans for jumping on and off the Inglis bandwagon. The fact is he openly stated he wanted to move with his girlfriend, convinced his club to release him (Storm fans should be more concerned with that than us) and then he turns his back on Brisbane but also lies to the Storm? Get out of here.

Souths appear to be the front runners in courting Inglis and best of luck to them. All I can say is I'll be very interested to see what Gallop and Ian Schubert have to say if that happens, especially in relation to Souths salary cap situation. Now we wait and see what we do with the free cash...

Until next time ranters,

Waldo.
