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!

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

Could we play him at loose?

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

I don’t actually give two hoots now you’re affording him, it’s a fantastic signing for you and SL. Especially at a time when inexplicably some clubs want to drive the sport backwards, up come Warrington to at least try and drive it forwards. Fair play to you, if only the RFL/SL had the vision and marketing nouse you have we would be in a much better situation as a sport.

Perhaps they will play him in Luther's shirt with all his trappings of former RU player pay dispensations.

Agree 100%

Have a tissue? I'm not complaining about the signing, it's great news for the sport and I can't wait to watch him play next year, just hope we're back to crowds being allowed by then.

Saints are close to announcing a big signing of our own, although not on the magnitude of this one it would have been a decent sized fish before Warrington threw a nuclear bomb in Ackers Pit and landed a whale.

Didn't see this one coming, judging by lack of rumours neither did most, perhaps if he has been out for 12 months and put some pud on he could be our go forward ball handling prop everyone wants.

to be honest, whatever his wages are, it could be a good negotiating tactic for currie, and anyone else, how much do you want to play with greg inglis? enough to drop a few grand off your wage request?

You can't fault Wire's management or the willingness to back it up financially by the incredibly supportive duo of Simon and Stuart. Trending No 3 on Twitter this afternoon according to Gareth Walker of The Mirror, not something RL achieves often.

Astronomical signing that, commercially as well.

Biggest name ever to play in SL? I think so.

Cant wait to see him pull on the P&B.

Centres - Inglis, King, Gelling, Brand.

Hmmm. (Do we keep all, move King to SR, or end Gellings' time with us?)

Inglis is a brilliant signing, but we do need at least one decent prop - preferably two.
Hill and Cooper need re-inforcements. They are both coming to the end of their careers.
Philbin is good, but we do look semi-naked up front.

The pack wins the match, the backs decide by how much.

Inglis signing is up there with Langer, Davies and Joey and dare I say it - bigger than Moz

Great PR coup, but I worry that a 33 yrs old crock will stunt a younger player's opportunity.

I hope he's fabulous, and it all works out, but it's not without its issues.

Currie is going nowhere, that's defo
Inglis will takeover BBM salary. Deal done

Tell you what, we can play keanan brand again, thats what everyone wanted until he actually played against leeds.

Its only 12 months innit. i can see there being a benefit for brand, king, ashton and thewlis all spending some time with GI, its like joey working with the halves.

Class signing!! The Yorkshire mafia want the cap reducing then the Wire pull this out of the bag. If he comes over injury free he will tear most super league back lines apart! Hope he teaches Matty Ashton a thing or two aswell. Fans of other teams (Bar the few who have posted honestly) will look for any shred of negativity to rip this signing apart but 1 year? Well worth the risk.

Congrats on the signing, completely in awe of it, cant wait to see him play in SL!

Regardless of money salary cap etc you cant knock this signing. If he stays fit he will be awesome to watch.
Can't wait for him to come to Wheldon Road and see the luxury we have to offer!

Spot on. If I were a young lad at the club I'd be unbelievably excited at the prospect or playing alongside and learning from one of the greatest players to have ever played the game.

You only have to look at the reaction of the likes of Danny Walker, Matty Ashton and Joe Philbin on Twitter.

WOW...just wow...its up there with Langer and Johns as a headline grabbing super-story. The media will be all over this especially down under. He'll pay for himself with publicity, shirt sales and extra bums on seats. Can't wait to see him in the P&B. WOW!!!!! I assume he has been medically assessed by Warrington Dr's, so he must be OK to play. Its an incredible coup for the club...congrats to all who got this one over the line..... WOW!

I have a bigger smile on my face than when we signed Sandow. I have seen a lot of Inglis over the years and was gutted when he retired early. He is one player who"s highlights reel does not do justice to how good he is. He would be a real handful with the space in super league. It's just a shame that this signing has not come with the sort of fanfare it deserves. It's up there with the John's announcement.

Wowsers

This could be the kick up the ass a lot of players need. Just having him at the club with the skill, experience and professionalism he carries could be massive for us
