The Virtual Terrace • Inglis to Warrington...confirmed
I wouldn't believe the press soundbites about him not being on much money. He was one of the brightest stars in the game for a long time. He could easily earn 6 figures in Australia just doing media work and endorsements. If he was going to play league again, he could get a £200k (The figure Warrington are rumoured to be paying) salary in the NRL with ease, probably within five minutes just by having his agent make two or three phone calls.
He'll be on plenty, how Warrington are fitting that into the salary cap doesn't really concern me. It's a short term deal, he's not going to be around for long and the sport needs investment, both in terms of money but more importantly in terms of giving it some bright lights to promote itself with. We need big names and positive stories. I'll bet his debut is a sellout crowd (If crowds are allowed) and the biggest TV audience for a while. We need that kind of headline and less of the 'Huddersfield thank Uate for giving up his contract in these difficult times for us all...' type ones.
