sallymay and BIG JIM there are actually two different halves one with the name Rhys Jacks, who is an Easts Tigers junior returning to Easts after stint with Titans Under 20's and Rhys Jack, the son of Gary, who has spent some time at the Bulldogs.

So if it is the player I think it is it isn't the son of Gary and brother of Kieren.

so if shane neumann gets the last spot, and is a centre, whats our front row list look like?? i thought we had heaps of backs and not many props. not that shane would be a bad signing i thought he was solid in defence for the dogs this year but i thought another big guy is what we need.

any word on if storm are looking at any south sydney players so they can fit in inglis?

As Gauci said the other day i don't think there's any way we could afford either of those 3 Rabbits players named unless Souths supplemented some of their salary which i can't see happening given they need every cent they can to sign Inglis. If we did have a chance to get one of them i'd love it to be Ben Lowe personally.

NRL approves Inglis's deal with Souths December 24, 2010 - 7:04PM
.AAP

South Sydney have received the perfect Christmas present, with the NRL confirming they will register Greg Inglis's contract after his messy exit from the Melbourne Storm.

Rabbitohs centre Beau Champion, a cousin of Inglis, has agreed to terms with Melbourne meaning Souths now have enough room under their cap to accommodate Inglis.

Both players have signed three-year deals, according to the Storm, ending a saga that even generated stories about the Queensland and Australian Test star considering a move to AFL club Essendon.

Advertisement: Story continues below The NRL announced in a statement that Souths had taken steps to comply with the 2011 $4.1m Salary Cap by the commencement of the season, with modifications to their playing roster.

Inglis's original deal which was heavily weighted with third-party deals was not approved by NRL salary cap auditor Ian Schubert.

"We have always been happy for Greg to be at Souths or at any club that he chooses," NRL chief executive David Gallop said.

"Had Souths addressed the real issues in this from the outset then both Greg and the game could have been saved a considerable amount of time."



Great outcome for us i believe ...

If Quinn is back from injury I think he will have a shot at first grade. Experienced reliable player. Although if the young fellasare raising hell, then maybe they will keep him in the Queensland Cup side??
