Inglis retired ,effective immediately.

South Sydney, Queensland and Kangaroos legend Greg Inglis has announced his retirement from rugby league due to injury after a glittering career at club, state and international level.

Inglis played 39 Tests, 32 Origins and won a premiership with the Rabbitohs in 2014 which broke a 43-year drought for the foundation club.

"I just think it's time and I think it's the right decision for myself. I've come to terms with it," he said at a media conference at the club's Redfern base.

Six months after Mitchell Moses was shown the door, the Parramatta Eels have tabled the halfback a three-year extension.

NRL.com can reveal the Eels this week put forward a contract to extend his tenure until the end of 2022, the same year Clint Gutherson's extension offer expires.

Moses's manager, Isaac Moses, hasn't accepted the deal - however he's been caught up dealing with the fallout from Israel Folau's controversial social media post last week.

It's an extraordinary turn of events considering the Eels were willing to release Moses last year following a horror campaign that culminated in the club collecting the wooden spoon.

Craig Fitzgibbon in Knights frame as patience wears thin for Nathan Brown


https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/s...n/news-story/2f8f82c18b1ac43b126bc81d4c6a1e10


Time and patience appear now to be running thin for Brown. The Knights’ loss on the Gold Coast on Sunday was possibly their worst of the year — they have now lost five games in succession and woke on Monday morning with only Canterbury keeping them from the bottom of the ladder.

This was the season, after years of rebuilding, that the Knights were meant to threaten for a place in the top eight. Yet finals football seems light years away.

Brown is in the firing line, the coach having finally been given a side many believe capable of challenging for the finals.

There are no shortage of potential replacements, the queue no doubt led by Sydney Roosters assistants Adam O’Brien and Craig Fitzgibbon.

Fitzgibbon, in particular, seems a perfect fit for the Knights. He still lives in Wollongong and enjoys being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a lifestyle he could maintain in a place like Newcastle.
