teflon souths where nothing sticks nor do rules apply
another souths mockery of the rules and integrity

The playing field hasn't been even for years, if you aren't apart of the "privilege" 4.So the struggling Titans end up with their best player gifted to one of the strongest clubs in the comp - so much for the cap delivering an even playing field.
I thought that it was a medical retirement but apparently not ...it was done by his own decision. The portion of his salary that applied up until he retired was included in the cap, the rest was waived and that meant that it was also waived for this year...but...he was paid by Souths for his role as mentor or whatever it was for last year and the job was one that was part of his 'retirement' and signed off on by the club and the NRL for a couple of years to recoup what he lost by retiring. It smacks of a way to get him off the books and gain a big leg up for this year.With his money they have purchased Mitchell and Goodwin resigned high profile players something that may not have been possible if the salary was still included in the cap. THAT is what is the bone of contention here...he retired........ that means he gave the game away but it now seems that considering his last few years was dogged by injury and mental issues he has miraculously recovered and regained his passion for the game. Well, now if a player 'retires of his own volition' with perhaps a little push from his club who needs cap space it can realistically free up cap space, he can be 'employed 'by his club for the rest of the year and then the following year he can get a big payday elsewhere....nicely set up and all effectively approved and signed off on by the NRL.Wait. The article says he came out and retired of his own volition.
I thought it was a medical retirement?
The Bulldogs would dead set be deregistered.Guaranteed if the Bulldogs were anywhere involved with this story it would have been on every newsfeed and social media in the blink of an eye.
Overweight, unfit and NOThe majority can see this for the rort it is, but hypothetically, if Inglis was to be signed by us for the rest of the year, who'd be for it?

Hate the competition, but not your team. Remember anyday the NRL could implode... not our club though.I like footy but I don't like being rorted.
If the club doesn't challenge this and make it right somehow, I couldn't give a fuck about following NRL. What's the point in watching something so blatantly inequitable? I'm meant to pay money and waste my time watching a team compete in a competition that is legitimately uneven? Yeah. Nah
Last time I checked mind (psychiatric reason) and body (medical reason) with "not being up for it" are both the medical reasons why they (him and the Rabbits) were able to get out of the contract."People thought I retired for medical reasons, and that's not true"
"My mind and body just weren't in the game"
He ain't the smartest nut in the turd the ol' Grog Inglis.FMD how do they get away with this shit, Inglis contradicts himself;

Go Dogs
Cant burgess is medically retired, inglis was a loophole because souths employed him. Greenburg when he first took over was seen as being too lenient on the bulldogs. So he went the other way and gave us nothing ie Foran. Inglis is a protected species he got blind at the all stars game and made a scene and it was all covered up, thats why he went in rehab. I personally think hes over rated id take barba, slater or lockyer over him at fullback.Wouldn’t be surprised if Sam Burgess follows him over there too cause he is depressed about not playing bla bla bla and take huge pay day over there
True rehab ain’t cheap what is barba up to these days I guess there already sniffing around CHN to give him another chance somewhere even though we sacked him doing the right thing might as well get Benny backCant burgess is medically retired, inglis was a loophole because souths employed him.
