Cant wait to see him in superleague, definitely a risk, but could just as easily be a master stroke. More importantly, it gives you Wire fans something to look forward to, something that shows your club is determined to crack on and aim big , planning for post lockdown and beyond.

All we get as Leeds fans are constant doom and gloom articles from GH, retention/recruitment on hold and lower the cap nonsense....Getting very tiresome from Leeds.

Anyhows...Congrats on Inglis.

He'll only be playing if Dec Patton is injured

Rule change to 3 marquee players surely?

Huge signing, be fascinating to see how it goes for him over here.

He won't command the same wage he used to as he was retired, but still won't be cheap. Does this mean Gelling is gone?

Re: Greg inglis CONFIRMED : Tue May 19, 2020 12:39 pm  

I know he has played much of his career at full back, but has played plenty at centre too. My first thought was he would line up at centre for us?

I'm waiting for the marquee spot confirmation! If there isn't one there would be a big hit on our salary cap.

He'll be our highest paid player I would expect?

Probably, has been rumoured for a while, but then we could always move King in to the pack?

Whenever we make a big signing we get the inevitable jibes about the salary cap. Fans of other clubs seem to be oblivious to players leaving. We will have 2 huge earners in Currie and BMM coming off the cap At the end of the season. No doubt they will both have been on peanuts once they're leaving!

We won't mention the salary cap. Whilst Leeds are canvassing other clubs to support reducing it to £1.8m, Warrington and Saints are handing out deals up to the current limit so they can pull a Wigan and go "Oh dear, we appear to have existing contracts way over the £1.8m, however did that happen Gary? We're sorry mate".


But has there ever been a more expensively assembled squad in Super League? Widdop, Austin AND Inglis on the same salary cap? Plus Ratchford, Clark, Hill etc... Madness, but great news for Super League in general. I suspect you might do okay next year if he's anyway near motivated and fit.

Everyone outside Wire knows we don’t have a salary cap...have a tissue.

Re: Greg inglis CONFIRMED : Tue May 19, 2020 12:47 pm  

Could we play him at loose?

Is our kit for 2021 going to be baggy trousers and dirty shirt combo?
