Quote ="Egg Chasing"So why come on here giving it the big one that you know for definite because you're obviously going to get asked these questions? As someone above said, just say nothing.
My curiosity is simply why GI would sign for Warrington on a wage supposedly well below his asking price when he could more than likely sign for any NRL club. If he signed for the same fee then the lifestyle is better, or he could get more money and the better lifestyle. He's Greg Inglis FFS...who wouldn't want to sign him which is why I asked if your mate had divulged how they managed to sign him but he apparently hasn't.
I don't buy the "to play with my mate Jason" comment, so it's one of two reasons:
1 Wire are paying him an absolute fortune
2 No NRL club wanted him because he's crocked
I'm pretty sure the same questions would get asked if Cronk suddenly signs for Hull'"
Well, i'll do my version of this, firstly, i know a couple of fairly big sponsors at Warrington, i've heard separately that he'll be on good money but not marquee, as mentioned already in his version of events, when he got the itch, he wanted to come back lower level at Souths, they thought he was selling himself short, maybe he doesn't feel good enough for NRL and maybe as you've put, the other NRL clubs dont want to take a punt on him.
With regards to the 'mate Jason bit' i would offer he's been told that as well as coming over, he can do a lot of sightseeing in Europe, if you've followed Bryson Goodwin, or Jason Clarke on instagram, they have have been EVERYWHERE in Europe, Bryson goodwin has been more places in Europe in just under 2 years than i have been in my 39 (and a bit) honest to god goodwin in his first year, on his tod and then last year when clark were over, they must have ridiculous air miles, they were everywhere.
It got a bit surprising how much time off they actually got, considering how poor our form was for the majority of last year.
Its got to be a big pull if their families are close, and its something that tyrone "chin on his " roberts didn't bother doing, he was miserable from the moment he got here and didn't bother leaving his house except for training from all accounts.
It's a big pull for a lot of players.
also, who's to say inglis wont come over and kill it and get offered an NRL deal afterwards? goodwin was done supposedly when he signed for Leigh, he resigned for the rabbitohs this year.
