Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2329745, member: 1764"] My thought is he is clearly a player who wants to make hay while the sun shines and earn as much as he can. He has effectively taken a pay cut to come to the Broncos. Unless the TV deal and subsequent salary cap increases enable the Broncos to upgrade him in 2 years - on top of his 3rd party arrangements he's apparently managed to get - I just can't see him staying. The Broncos will have to upgrade Thaiday, Hoffman, Gillett, Yow Yeh, Te'o et al in the next 2 years as well, and while Locky wants to play on in 2012 I doubt he'll do it for charity. Ditto Hodges. So purely financially I can't see Inglis hanging around. That's all I'm basing it on. Lots of stuff could change between now and then, both in terms of salary cap and TV deals and as you say, his family situation. But even if he stayed in Brisbane he could well become a target for the ARU/Queensland Reds, and if they continue their resurgence and retain Quade Cooper, Inglis might be tempted. To me Inglis was loyal to the Storm because they developed him into the player he is. He left, somewhat reluctantly, for the good of his relationship. He hasn't sounded like he's over the moon to be at the Broncos, it's just a move of necessity. He may develop a love for our club, but I'm not getting my hopes up. [/QUOTE]
