Chk Chk Boom - It's Wenin's Report From The Cross

It's a Bird............................NO....It's a Wayne.......oh no.....It's Supermayne!!!

Yet again, another high profile footballer has found himself in hot water. Although, innocent until proven guilty, it appears Queensland and Melbourne Storm sensation Greg Inglis has dug another spear in side of NRL’s brittle public image.

The Storm star was charged with assaulting his girlfriend and subsequently suspended by the club indefinitely on Monday.. Inglis, a poster boy for the NRL and arguably the worlds best player, if found guilty, could prove to be the most damning event for the NRL in an already forgetable 2009.

Inglis joins the long list of NRL stars who have been caught in the spot light this year for the wrong reasons.

Greg Bird
Jake Friend
Sander Earl
Nate Myles
Anthony Watmough
Brett Stewart

Inglis is the 5th player in 12 months to be charged with such an offence. The Melbourne Storm appear to be taking a very strong stance here, one which the NRL as a whole should have a taken a long time ago. Enough is enough, these A - Graders need to be held accountable for the their own actions and this kind of behaviour cannot be seen to be encouraged.

Further information will come to light in future days. Let's just hope the reports are not as bad as it currently seems. Inglis is one of the most well liked players in the world and it would be a shame to have such an bright image tainted....

Not to mention the fact that this is socially unacceptable, it also has a massive effect on supercoach for the remainder of the season. What will you do if you have no trades yet and Inglis in your side? Who will you trade him for if you are lucky enough to have some remaining?

I'm sure KinG will discuss this further in Trade Talk on Friday.
