Good video.

You can see why clubs are keen to get him.

He looks massive against those opponents.

Hope he can keep stepping up.

One to watch.

Greg Inglis resigns with South Sydney until the end of 2020 season ( So until he retires), Inglis is a great player no doubt about it but I hope South's have discussed his future work load and the possibility he doesn't play SO going forward.

Local Souths boy so the club would be mad to let him slip through there fingers.

What's your take on that? Good thing or not?

He looked busted for most of the season and rather ineffective the few times I've watched South.

And without the benefit of a full off season to recuperate, I don't see how 2017 would be any different let alone 2018 and beyond.

I tend to agree he was not impressive at all in 2016 and looked disinterested but you cannot ignore what a talent he is and what affect he has on the squad around him (By all accounts a big effect). I also suspect him being re-signed has a lot to do with him being an indigenous roll model in an area with a large sometimes troubled Aboriginal population and what positives he can do around the community as much as anything else.

I believe "if" our forwards dominate again like they did in 2012-2013-2014 Ingis will be lethal once more but sadly cannot see that happening with out the likes of Ben Te'o.

Thanks. It makes even more sense if his off field influence is so important.

 

The Burgess twins might provide some good go forward if they held onto the pill.

When Tom was still at Bradford I thought he may well be better than George but he has never really kicked on in the NRL, What I will say though is all the Burgess brothers are outstanding men off the field , There parents did a great job raising them.

[Graham]

The Turbo brothers have signed for another couple of years with Manly

[Graham]

Knights have signed premiership-winning utility Rory Kostjasyn from North Queensland on a two-year-contract.

[Graham]

Greg Bird released to fly off to Catalans.

Benji retiring?

[Graham]

It seems so from that last article.

Is this one more tug at the heartstrings of clubs to see if anyone will take him?

The question is, what would he be prepared to take as pay for the new season.

Is he still asking top money?

How desperate is he to play?

If he does retire he won't have the sort of send off he could have had if the season was still in motion.

[USRLFAN]

He keeps saying he won't go to SL.  Why is that?

[Irish Saint]

Bulldogs coach awaiting fate.

I hate to bag the bloke but he should have retired years ago, He lost the desire to play contact sport in about 2006 I recon.

[RabbitRhinoovOZ]

Adam Reynolds re signs with South Sydney until the end of 2021!!!!

 

Wont the Daily Telicrap hate that, GI & Reno re-sign after all there work all year to get both to leave with there trashy rumor stories of them both wanting out.

2006.funny how he still had enough desire to play a leading role in NZ winning the 2008 World Cup & the 2010 4 nations,been a fantastic player to watch over the years especially when in his prime.

On balance I'd stick with Des and expect a tweak to the line up that gives it a big more variation of tactics and somebody to do the unexpected in the game.

[Graham]

Hey up, so that's interesting... Des Hasler stays and it is his outspoken critic Steve Mortimer who's gone. He's resigned from the Doggies board.

Dogs are a good strong club they will be fine.

Jamie Buhrer didn't want to leave Manly. Seems he wasn't in the plans.  As they didn't want him he's moved on to Knights.

Buhrer has been a Manly fan from being a youngster.

[Graham]

Read a report saying that hot prospect Kalyn Ponga is being chased by 7 NRL clubs for when he comes off contract at the Cowboys with whom hes signed to until the end of 2017 season.

The article doesn't specifically name the 7 clubs but from what I can tell they include Cowboys, Broncos, Dragons, Bulldogs and Storm.

Prop Paul Vaughan is leaving Raiders to join St George in a three year deal.

The paperwork is expected to be finalised on Monday, with the representative front-rower signing a $1.75 million, three-year, flexible deal to become the latest Raider to switch to the Red V.
