Greg Inglis looks like he could be the next Rugby league player to change codes.
Maybe there is room for Anthony Mundine & john Hopoate to make a comeback.
I hope they don't get too many more. The AFL will probably change the rules to suit them.
GREG Inglis - arguably rugby league's best current player - is seriously considering becoming the latest star to abandon the NRL, with his manager in talks with AFL powerhouse Essendon.
In another worrying sign for rugby league just days after the code was rocked by Israel Folau's defection, The Daily Telegraph can reveal Inglis wants to stay in Melbourne and is exploring a switch to AFL if he is forced out of the Storm due to the salary cap scandal.
With Essendon playing the Swans at the SCG tomorrow, Bombers boss Ian Robson yesterday flew into Sydney a day earlier than his team specifically for a meeting with Inglis' agent Al Gainey at a Sydney city cafe.
"Greg has a passion for Melbourne and that is where he wants to stay," a source close to Inglis said yesterday. "He recently moved his family down to Melbourne and he wants to stay there.
Billy Slater must be on someones radar, the best of the lot of them !!!
Why don't they just put Melbourne Storm in the AFL and change the ball ups to scrums...
Billy Slater is a gun sportsman that can do anything.
He was a former jockey as a teenager and would easily adjust to Aussie Rules.
Best by a mile. Winner of the Australia's best athlete in consecutive years.
Greg Inglis would be a natural as well.
The blame lies with David Gallop the NRL goose.
The way he is going all the NRL guns will either be playing in England, Rugby Union or AFL.
Jury is out for Karmichael Hunt and Israel Folau. I would reckon Hunt would be better suited than Folau. Both Billy Slater and Inglis better than Hunt and Folau.
We will have a chance to see what Hunt does next week. Wouldn't think he would turn the game on its head first up. Would be even tougher with wet conditions.
Depends if he is concerned about money or not though.
Greg Inglis loves the Storm and his number option is to stay.
I would expect all the big four of Inglis, Slater, Smith and Cronk to stay at Storm.
