Re: Greg Inglis too the Bombers?!

He just signed with South Sydney. Not happening.

Re: Greg Inglis too the Bombers?!

Sorry, wasn't aware that his signing had been vetoed. My apologies.

Thanks to those that updated me on the situation.

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

Seems other GI threads have been locked, so....
new developments:
His Souths contract might not make it through N.R.League HQ:

Door may be open (again) ?

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

The new clubs had marketing reasons behind taking NRL players. I couldn't see established teams taking him on at $600K a year.

As far as I know, we wouldn't have to pay his whole salary, the AFL would in fact take on a lot of it.

Rookie list yes, senior list no.

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

amature hour in the nrl yet again

can't see us getting him, although he's a money honey campaigner, he seems more loyal to the sport than the other two. Would be a great get for us providing he is on the rookie list and we aren't paying much.

Anyone that cans the Irish projects, but endorses this, you are fools. We know who you are! Lol

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

I reckon he could be alright TBH.
6'4 and can move sideways as well as forward, catch/mark, and kick. Sure, he won't be as good in a contest, but he'll deck the absolute crap out of blokes going the other way.

Can anyone say with a straight face he'd definitely be worse than Still, Neagle and Laycock?

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

Last couple of years he looks like he's been in a good paddock.

Great build for crash and bash rugby, but I question how he'd go for 120 mins of footy and if the time spent in re-sculpting his body for speed and leaping would be wasted in 2 years time when he returns back to the NRL.

I don't know why the Rebels aren't all over him??

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

Would wanna trim down a fair bit. Has ballooned out to 118 kg's

 

[DaSawx]

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

Do we really want him?

What if he isn't best 22 straight away (very likely), and he needs to learn a bit about the game, do you think he'd be happy driving to Bendigo playing in front of small crowds?

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

Have changed my mind on this. He has turned into a complete tool,and I would not want his ***** attitude anywhere near the club. He can bugger of to some stuid French league for all I care.

 

[stugots]

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

anyone really see Hird going for something like this?

reckon he will have more than enough on his plate for the next few years without dealing with afl wannabees (although there may be a few of those still hiding in our squad?)

 

[ghostdog]

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

We'd be better off trying to pick up a raw midfielder or ruckman. If Inglis tried his hand at AFL for any club, now, it would only be for something to do this winter until an NRL club and his management can get their s*** together.

His not being settled for an NRL club by now screams incompetence IMO. He clearly wants to play league.

yeh...he looked fat on tv

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

We dont need a marketing gimmick project player at Essendon. Tell the fat *****er to piss off.

My Essendon membership will be under question Ian Robson if you bring this mercenary joke into our club.

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

We just did! Both of them!

Oh, wait, Inglis.
My bad.

Can anyone say with a straight face he'd definitely be worse than Still, Neagle and Laycock?

Anyone?
If* we were able to get the AFL to put in half of his 600k, that's roughly the same money Laycock was on the last 2 years for 0 games.


*I believe A.D has ruled it out now. But as a hypothetical...

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

I'd rather Neagle, in all honesty, but he's one of my pet favourites, so I probably see more good in him than most.

 

[Slattery_20]

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

A guy who's never got himself fit or won a spot on form in 5 years; or a guy who's been a gun in a top-line sport for 5 years.

I'm pretty comfortable drawing a line through Neagle.

 

[Kong]

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

They're completely different sports, Neagle has more natural (football) ability, and Inglis has just as many attitude problems, if not more.

Neagle, please.

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

5 years of never being able to make the grade is better than 5 years of not only making, but setting (albeit an entirely different) grade?
Really?
Especially as a fitness guy.

To me, it's a definite "not fit enough", compared to a big maybe.
You take the possibility.

Re: Essendon meets with Greg Inglis

If it was a choice between Inglis or Neagle I would pick Inglis. He would bring in so much interest to the club which would be worth it.

For Neagle's lack of fitness, which 5 pre-seasons of injuries contributes to, as well as poor mental application, you have Inglis' personal indescretions, as well as his peace poor attitude towards his very own sport, chasing the money and not being dedicated enough to put in at his new club, makes me not too keen on him. That and he's never played the game.

This is what would sway me. The publicity and potential new sponsors/members.
