NRL approves Inglis's deal with Souths

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.
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."
