Quote The Speculator="The Speculator"A year ago we announced the signing of Greg Inglis, and I for one was really excited about it. Yes, he'd been out of the game for a while, but this is a legend of the sport we're talking about, and he had the best part of a year to get himself in shape, so it would be fine, surely?
In January he arrives, and he's clearly not in great condition, but he's still got a couple of months of training ahead, so hopefully no cause for alarm.
The first game comes around, and he's still not ready to play. OK, better to be safe than sorry, maybe?
Six weeks in, and he finally makes his debut, still clearly not in good shape. But he scores a try, we put 50 on Hull KR, so let's take the positives, yes?
Now he's played three games, still doesn't look anywhere near fit, has predictably got injured, and perhaps most worryingly of all, he doesn't even look like he's enjoying himself out there.
I really, really wanted this signing to be a fantastic success, but I have to be honest, even before he got injured, he was looking like a bit of a passenger. I would love to be proved wrong, and I cling to the hope that it's still too early to judge, but it really doesn't look like this one's going to work out.'"
Sadly a typical “shiny new thing” signing of recent times. The guy has a whole host of medical and mental issues so RETIRED 2 feckin years ago!!!! He looks so far off what he was it’s not funny, he’s not even at 50% after 12 months of training. He’s done, finished, can’t do it no more. Utterly ridiculous signing all in all. Grrrrrr....
