It’s probably fair to say that Greg Inglis’ management haven’t been fielding recruiting calls from Mensa since the Storm’s salary cap shenanigans were revealed.
After a handshake agreement with the Broncos, Inglis decides the Rabbitohs are a better deal and loads up on sponsorship contracts. Unexpectedly, and to its great credit, the NRL didn’t roll over and allow Russel Crowe to tickle their tummy.
Now, having poisoned his chalice at Brisbane, and without too many other likely options, Inglis is reportedly speaking with Essendon about a possible move to AFL.
(Scene from ‘Lost in Space’): Robot appears stage left. “Danger, James Hird! Danger!”
We love our Bombers at AussieRulesBlog and we dutifully appeared at Windy Hill this morning along with many others of the faithful to cast an appreciative eye over the Hird-led Bombers for the first time. We faithfully recorded our membership video slot that “We are One”, as it were.
Unlike Karmichael Hunt and Israel Folau, Inglis is considering AFL as something of a last resort. He doesn’t want to be at Essendon (or any other AFL club). Regardless of whatever professionalism he exhibits, and despite his obvious rugby league-based athletic prowess, it’s hard to imagine he can give the 150% commitment required to make the shift.
Please, James. Please, David and Ian. We don’t need this distraction and we don’t need a champion try scorer!
