Couple of points.
Where in the article does it say:

SERIOUSLY? Where?
If by many you mean YOU.....then I can answer YOUR question.

In the short term, the Bunnies got the better deal. They got more media attention in the off season than in previous years, have signed a class player who would be first name on the team sheet at all NRL/SL clubs and they will sell more Season Tickets/Merchandise as a result.
In the Long term, if Champion develops further under the storms coaching regime, then I would say the bunnies still got the better deal. Their Toyota cup team were the second best last year and they have build a decent conveyer belt of talent for the future.....there are plenty more "champions" waiting for a chance at South Sydney...there is only ONE GREG INGLIS!

I think Champion will improve massively at the Storm and will have a great chance of getting picked for NSW over the next couple of years, most players that join Melbourne end up as Rep players at some point. He will be a good signing for them although i'm not sure they needed him. They have a few young centres and Neilsen and O'Neil would have done a good job IMO, one of them will now play on the wing. I think Melbourne would of been better off spending the money on a forward as they look pretty light but i'm sure they bring some young players through that turn out to be quality, likes of Bromwich will come in and they've got a few cast offs from other clubs like Troy Thompson, Adam Woolnough etc that will no doubt go well.
Souths have obviously got the better deal as Inglis is the best centre in RL, no doubt about it. He can be lazy and do nothing during the regular rounds but i'm sure he'll be trying to impress at his new club and he'll get alot more attention there, he'll also win them plenty of games and come finals time he'll be playing great, he'll no doubt be in form come Origin time aswell, he usually is.
Souths have a couple of good young centres coming through, i'm looking forward to seeing how they go. Farrell and Vaivai, not sure who's gonna get first crack at Champion's centre spot, anyone any idea?

Ah, but were you one of the :
[size=150many are wondering which club got the better deal out of the champion for inglis swap[/size
The OP stated there were many who were muzing over the pro's and con's of the deal...were you one of them?



...not sure, but Jamie Simpson wont be getting a game for them...he's off to Hudds!

p**s off troll

every time i post a thread ive got this stalker ruining it

talk about the thread matter or p**s off you twit

ingis to souths is a good deal for them, but im not sure his signing will make them win the competition, hes only a centre, and an inconsistant one at that

playing for the storm and the maroons, teams which can carry his inconsistancy is one thing, playing at a club which hasnt won a comp sice 1971 and where hes the main go to man, thats very different

hell be blamed for all their losses, much more expectation whilst at the storm he was part of the fab 5

champion is a very talented player and will kill it in a team like the storm

have a look at mat king in the storm and then what hes done at wire

I didn't need to ruin it....you did that when you included your "many" friends in the OP


What? Like this you mean?




what....like his first season when a 21yr old tony clubb owned him...wire fans were trying to burn their jerseys and he was blamed for everything.....you really should get out more

BLESS

I think Melbourne may well have got the better deal! Inglis is a star no doubt and on his day is game winner, those days seem to be getting further apart though and I am not sure Sth's (where lets be honest they don;t have a great track record of taking good players and making them better) is a good fit for him, he'll love the rock star lifestyle too much. Champion will be hungy to prove how wrong they were to let him go and Melbourne can take a talent and turn it into something special. Champion has lots of ability and Melbourne will get the very best out of him. Add in the salary cap difference and for me I'd take Champions raw ability over Inglis's fame and fading star.

why are you on these forums?

you dont attend nrl matches.

i cant think of a single positive comment youve made on the NRL

you talk about how much better RU is.

seriously what do you add?

you just drag the conversation down all the time

my thoughts exactly
storm have got the best out of this deal

I am Rugby League supporter


not that it is a condition of board membership,,,but I do.


In your opinion. There again....I don't feel the need to post links to the SMH.COM.AU every second......I can think for myself thanks




No...I talk about how the current RU management seem to be doing OK when compared to the one eyed RL International boards...especially in Australia.


Loads...otherwise I wouldn't get paid for what I do.....


Ignore me. Just stop posting and I'll stop owning you......

Cheers
Barnaby!

owning me? who posts like that

again what exactly do you add to the nrl boards?

you dont attend games and talk the nrl down

it wont surprise me when you get banned

Dally,

If you knew what he did for a living in NZ and the contributions he's made to Rugby League in London...

he hasnt contributed a thing to the nrl, let him go back to the main boards with his trolling

For gods sake, knock it off.

Talk RL instead of petty oneupmanship.

Come on ya big lugs Lets all have a group hug and stop all this arguing. I'm getting bad vibes here. Lets not get into a Smokey v Starbug thing. People are starting to talk. And some of it is not favourable. I'll start the peace process off. Dally? Give Gutterfax a big hug and a nice flower (((((Gutterfax)))))) Now doesnt that feel better? I'm sensing the love from here. You are both cordially invited to the Millennium Magic weekend meet up that TB and I are organising viewtopic.php?f=2&t=479502 Well Dally can come anyway. Gutterfax is in New Zealand. But if you set off now you should be in time. See you in Cardiff dudes.

The same could be said of you - when do you ever attend a regular NRL game? what do you add outside of posting stuff that other people write?

As for dragging the conversation down - I would stay well away from any comment of that nature if I were you!!

Just accepting that everything is rosy in the NRL does you no favours - there are serious issues that should be given an airing - sadly nobody on this forum or the others you frequent - like RL Express - takes your views seriously!!

You are simply a laughing stock - a target that is far too easy to hit!!

Steady on Smashie....you'll get me all teary


As much as it's a lot of fun over here, I do get a tad homesick this time of year.....nothing to do with xmas or new year.....everything to do with a new SL and Quins RL season.....I think I may need to see a doctor

Thats a bit unfair to blame Gutterfax for the dire predicament of Rugby League in the capital. I'm sure it's not all his fault.

Mind you it would explain why he emigrated to New Zealand.

the only target you hit mate is your face if you know what i mean judging by that post

been to over 500 NRL games




RL express what forum is that you stalker?

January 2011 he wrote




Back in September 2010 he wrote



Make your mind up.

Is it 500 or 800?

there is a difference between nrl and arl barry




with each new user name you are just getting dumber and dumber

if it continues your next user name should be gutter fax

funny bazza spent time going through my past quotes and still got it wrong

I'll offer a translation for the bit I underlined for anyone who bothers to read your posts.

[ui lie so much i forget what i type[/u





Whose Barry by the way?
