A Tale of Two Centres
On Sunday, amid the drama of his move to South Sydney being investigated and likely blocked by the NRL, Greg Inglis got married. On the same day it was reported that fellow international Timana Tahu was set to be released by Parramatta.
Both Inglis and Tahu have had their positive reputations torn to shreds over the last twelve months. Neither will ever recover.
Greg Inglis is now part of the Anthony Mundine entourage and that has never spelt good news for anybody. Getting in with that crew is a public admission that greed isyou’re your god. With Mundine no doubt in his ear, Inglis walked out on the Storm and then reneged on a deal with Brisbane.
Despite reports to the contrary, the Storm had developed a plan allowing them to keep Inglis and maintain the so-called Big Four. Inglis was only granted a release after he became concerned with money. Under the pretence of following his heart, Inglis sought a release to move to Brisbane. After much wrangling, the new Storm administration granted him one, believing there was no point in keeping a player around who was both disruptive and not fully committed to the team. Inglis is now persona non grata at the Storm with both the front office and many players disappointed and angered over his selfish walkout.
