Message: [QUOTE="Tunza's Chin, post: 2742103, member: 8986"] My thoughts exactly when I read that this morning... I have been thinking it would be great to purchase a gun winger.... Kahu best position is centre - and such a good provider for his winger, be fantastic having Oates on his outside. But it is hard to say no to Inglis - I agree he has looked past his prime for a while now - but change of pace under Wayne, losing some weight and moving back to the centre's I can see him having at least a couple more world class seasons in him. We wouldn't need him to play injured every week, or like a battering ram, plus the talent in our backline will take a lot of pressure off him - South's backs haven't been more than mediocre at best throughout their run over the last couple of years. A fit, lighter, faster Inglis who can can be more selective in attack and is enjoying his footy again (away from Madge, Bennet has a much better appreciation for making sure his players having a balance between footy and home + overtraining etc.) - I can't see that doing anything but widening our premiership window over the next 3+ years. Plus, I don't think Wayne will pay as much for Inglis as some are making out. It is probably a question of what is the minimum the NRL will register his contract for - he won't have issues with 3rd party $$$'s up here. Bennet is second to none in cap management - especially when back at Brisbane. It won't be all our young guys on bottom $$ we lose to fit Inglis in, more than likely Gillet since Bennet doesn't pay forwards too much... Say we were to lose Gillet + Reed - would we need to lose that much more? I don't see enough of the lower grades to have an opinion - but from what those who do say on here it seems like we are a lot better placed to cover the loss of Gillet, then we are to bring an outside back through that it is as much of an upgrade on Reed as Inglis is? Anyway, by the time a back forces their way into first grade Oates will likely be ready for a move into the pack... [/QUOTE]
