Why attack him then Super?? He asked a fair question in response to people saying they weren't surprised GI has allegedly bashed his girlfriend... straight forward, simple question and all it required was an answer, which you did fine until the last sentence.

When I said I was surprised I didn't mean I thought that GI would ever have done such a thing or even be capable and I was not trying to dirty the caracter of the guy as I have never meet him, so do not know what sort of person he is. These are only my thoughts but, when the accusations of drug taking in the origin series came up I thought 'is ingliss involved' plus the alleged incident earlier this year.
Once again I do not know the guy personally or have any facts about what has or hasn't gone on except that he has, been and still is a fantastic asset to the Storm on the football field . I only get a feel for Greg watching him from the seats at olympic park. But I was not initially surprised when heard the news, although, as I said I was shocked, and comend the storm managment for their actions. I hope when the truth comes out if he can, he will return to the Storm and play for us for many years to come
just my opinions......critique them, don't criticise me!!!
Been in an almost NRL free zone for 3 days,(Swan Hill) but LOTS of people had derogatory things about RL & the Storm thanks to the Inglis story.Suspended by Storm till after the case is heard - GOOD. Contract torn up if case proven - DEFINITELY.
Anyone who didn't see something about Inglis hitting the fan eventually has been turning a blind eye to the attitude he's displayed since becoming a Mundine circus associate.
YES I know he is supposed to be doing great things for his cousin ? & for the indigenous kids in general,but so did Mundine right.
Bottom line ? Innocent until proven guilty but.....................THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR HITTING A WOMAN !
As for this being a fatal blow for Storm's season - GIVE ME A BREAK !!

Inglis will not have his contract torn up, if that is the case then it would make the NRL the biggest hypocrites.
Example: Anthony Cherrington from the Roosters glassed and assaulted his girlfriend in January last year. He escaped jail term by a whisker and was looking at a jail term of 8 years max. He however was slapped with 180 community services hours and was supported by both the NRL and his club, now he arrived back about 6 weeks ago and features regularly in the first grade team.
If Inglis is hung out to dry then F the NRL. I've been there with Arana and I wish Greg all the best.

Unfortunately, the difference in this case is that Greg is a high-profile player. They will almost certainly be keen to make an example of him.Freshy wrote: If Inglis is hung out to dry then F the NRL. I've been there with Arana and I wish Greg all the best.
The only reason why he has been suspended is because of his arrest. Both Storm and the NRL need to be seen to be taking action - it's damage control at it's best.BIG JIM wrote: Innocent until proven guilty ? He must be guilty they have suspended him straight away which in my eyes means guilty
It certainly does not infer guilt - remember, the only people qualified to make that judgement call are judges, magistrates, or jurors.
What some people are not understanding from MY comments is that you can NOT tell if someone is a wife/girlfriend beater from their looks!!
That is why I think some comments here are bloody ridiculous. The way someone looks has no bearing on whether they are of good character!
That is all I have to say!

Or maybe they're taking the responsible approach, and waiting to see what the situation is...BIG JIM wrote: Innocent until proven guilty ? He must be guilty they have suspended him straight away which in my eyes means guilty
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

If found guilty I wonder how the likes of Billy, Cam, DJ would feel about playing with him?
"Innocent until proven guilty ? He must be guilty they have suspended him straight away which in my eyes means guilty"
How f&ckin DUMB is this comment??? Common sense knows that it's all about perception. The Storm and the NRL had to be seen that that they were condemning any form of domestic violence and so immediate suspension was the only option! Unfortunately, domestic violence is a sad reality of life. It's everywhere in society, and always has been. This year the NRL has seen more than it's fair share of bad news. However, these problems are also found in other sports codes and in every section of society.
The reality is that Greg Inglis didn't make the news for what he did, as there are thousands of assault cases every year and not many make the news. Greg only made the news for who he is.
And he's another thought - Would a carpenter / truck-driver / accountant / butcher / sales rep etc lose their jobs if they had assaulted their wives? I believe that whatever happened with Greg and his partner is a PRIVATE matter. It should not be anyone's business!!
But I guess, it's this sort of news that the media wants to sell papers etc........

'fraid not. He is alleged to have done something illegal & his public profile puts him in the same scrutiny class as.I believe that whatever happened with Greg and his partner is a PRIVATE matter. It should not be anyone's business!!
actors - musicians - politicians - nobility - other high profile sports persons.
Everything negative that they say & do has a huge flow on effect for their respective organisations & in sports cases a massive monetary risk via sponsorship loss,etc
