Super Rugby season 2015: QRU chief Jim Carmichael wants ARU to target Greg Inglis
Japan and the Pacific Islands for Aussie Super 9's!

Yes...and No
ARU shouldn't touch Greg Inglis solely on the request of Queensland.
Perhaps they could reach out to him and send him to the Rebels, or the Force.....maybe the Brumbies.
You all know why

"The main difference between playing League and Union is that now I get my hangovers on Monday instead of Sunday - Tom David
H Yes, saw it last night. It seems to be the only thing that the eastern states melon heads can think of to improve rugby playing stocks and achieve that all important instant gratification. Wonder how many grassroots rugby dollars would have to go towards this latest handmaiden.

At the very least, they could target RL players who have a union background. The only successful RL player with no union background at all, was Jason Robinson; and he was playing union in the Super League off-season for years before switching to union proper.
I think Greg Inglis would truly be better off going to the NFL. Failing that, he could make some bloody good money in the CFL too for that matter.

PS, no issue with Greg Inglis at all.
I DO have a problem with Jim Carmichael telling the ARU to gamble a couple of million dollars on converting a league star with the inevitable result being that they give him a free ride to the Wallabies in order to make some of the money back.
If Carmichael wants Inglis, maybe he should FIND SOME F@$KING MONEY TO PAY HIM!

What Carmichael really means is: ARU should pay Inglis to come to Queensland.
The Reds were beaten by the Brumbies in the forwards. Buying in backs, regardless of where from, will not fix the problem.
I'm not a fan of fast tracking in people from other codes either. If you want to play rugby you should earn your way to higher honours like everyone else.
Call me crazy but wouldn't the QRU benefit from spending some money on a Coach that can Coach.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Maybe they feel they have the ARU over a barrel because they're holding onto the ARU appointed supercoach!

QLDRU cap in hand to the ARU, have they lost revenue recently?
The RG effect.
I think the money would be better spent on education programs in schools to help combat QLDer's historical ignorance of geography.
