No shit my point is the media stance was polar opposites. There were no media articles saying any of the stuff they said about Foran when the initial rumblings came out the Inglis might be medically retired.
Was there even talk of medically retiring Inlis? If there were rumblings, I wasn't aware of them...
Can you even use shit to clean up shit?
Well it’s on the NRL then to close the loophole. But they won’t, only change the rules on the run to suit themselves, were happy to bring in the no fault stand down policy to satisfy the outrage brigade but we don’t want to upset Souths and call them on this fraud, or in anyway question GI for his outstanding contributions on and off the field (cough/splutter), remember he’s indigenous and has mental health issues so rules don’t apply
I guarantee you that if the Dogs tried it with Foran, the rules would be changed on the spot.
I start frothing like a school of sardines being chased by bonitos
Not the point though, anyone can hang up their boots anytime they like, what is relevant is what they subsequently do for a job, how they get paid and who pays them. That's when the salary cap rules become relevant. The strict interpretation is that anything/everything that Souths pay Inglis should be included in their salary cap for the length of his existing contract term. This also includes anything that Souths "arrange" for him, even if they don't pay it themselves directly. That's the advantage of being "medically retired" wherein payments are not included in the salary cap. Based on what we know Inglis would never have qualified to be medically retired anyway, hence similar to Foran in the regard (as was Stewart etc).
So you believe if he didn’t have chronic shoulder and knee issues, and WB was happy for him to continue using pain killing injections as required, he’d still be retiring, seriously?
There definately was. And there were no scurrilous insinuations surrounding the topic unlike us with Foran.
i didnt include lichaa because hes gone at seasons end ..
I don't think the NRL has a problem with their darling squads using certain means or loopholes to get an advantage.
music to my ears!!! cant happen any quicker eh??
Only 19 games to go
but who's counting................. fukn spud
if only the teams in ESL could see what an asset he is to a team .. they should really get in before someone else snaps him up
Except Foran has not attempted to retire.
Inglis is a good ambassador.... for alcohol consumption and DUI
Souths advised the NRL of the plan, Tigers hid it.
That's shouldn't matter in regards to whether it's allowed to be outside of the salary cap rules cap or not, which from what we know it isn't.
