It's evident that you are promoting the art of considered miscomprehension. I have 'boasted' of nothing, even attracting your ill-judged attempts at sarcasm because I won't say who it is who informed me. To do so would be 'boasting'. As stated before, plenty of informed commentators and club officials have stated the same thing on the record. I'd sooner be in that group than yours. Enjoy your cynical little world.

| Quote Egg Chasing="Egg Chasing"Which then again comes down to the next part that if he is the Inglis of old and prepared to be paid less than his worth, why did none of the 16 NRL clubs touch him?
I like how you've hidden behind "i'm in business" rather than comment on which of the people you know that would actually know what Inglis is being paid.'"
What tortuous logic, I contradicted a statement that no-one talks about their employees salaries, which is not true, business-to-business, no 'hiding' about it.
Your first question raises a different point altogether. Get ready for this startling revelation: I don't know why none of the NRL clubs 'would touch him'. I suppose that's more boasting, eh?

| I must be in the wrong business then as none of the several I speak to a day discuss salaries. In fact, the shareholder meeting at a football club I went to only gave the total wage bill and not each individual wage.
I just thought your mate having said that GI is on x amount might have given an inside into how Wire got him to sign.
I'm not doubting that you have contacts, but let's be honest these boards (and the internet) are full of people that claim to know people and know things but then are never prepared to go any further for one reason or another but as ploiner says are happy to use "I know someone who said this or that" line

Why mention it anyway, and by doing so give the impression that your in the know, isn't that an attempt at boasting ?, if what you say about keeping these alleged peoples confidences to yourself, then surely the fact that some people are prepared to impart their information on you should give you the satisfaction you obviously crave for unless you just want people to know that your in the know, I'm now more interested to know who the people you share your confidences with than how big a wedge the players on.

Exactly my reasoning for asking

| I know some comments have mentioned he isn’t in the highest earners but all in all, you’d hope / expect that inglis isn’t given he has come out of retirement.
Yes he’s an outstanding player and if he is anything like back to his best he will be very exciting to watch but it’s a risk if he isn’t or lacks the mental confidence when he gets the attention he will likely get from opposition players.
End of the day, if Warrington can afford it good luck to them.

| 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.

I mentioned in the vaguest possible terms that the speculation on here of a payday for Inglis of marquee levels was very wide of the mark. That's all. Didn't name a figure, didn't hint at the specific male/female source. My statement was backed up in the media by informed journalists and club officials. Not much of a 'boast'. If you had a confirmed fact that contradicted wild speculation about [iyour [/iclub would you not do something similar?

The sky commentators (none of whom will have seen the contract) said it too so it must be true. Wire would obviously openly admit any cap breaches or that they were paying GI the equivalent of 2 players wages.

If it was a confirmed fact then it would not be wild speculation and there would not be any of this nonsense regarding who knows what, a very good friend of mine has a son what plays for Wakey he was in the middle of unwanted and unfair criticism with fans regarding wages and his refusal to sign a new contract, not quite in the same context as your player, never the less the Chairman could have but did not step in and explain the situation fully, all these fans what used to cheer him on turned against him because they thought they knew his business better than he did, I personally could have put them right or tried to had I thought they would have taken any notice, but i did not get drawn into an argument I could not win mainly because it's not my business, perhaps with hindsight you might have been better off letting these people speculate on the matter, after all there's not much else to talk about atm,.

Pointless debating this any more. You're obviously convinced that Inglis is being paid marquee wages which would put Wire over the cap by £300-500,000. THE RFL operates a 'live cap' audit so we won't have to wait long for your suspicion to be proved true and Warrington will be rumbled, pay a fine and have points deducted. Please do send me a private message when this happens.
