Greg Inglis saga continues with Gold Coast joining in

5:49 am on 28 July 2010

The Greg Inglis circus continues to roll on with Brisbane again emphasising they are not interested in indulging in a bidding war with the Gold Coast to secure the Melbourne Storm rugby league star's signature.

The Titans are reportedly ready to weigh in with a $1.2 million package once Inglis is granted a release by the Storm.

It's understood the Gold Coast boss Michael Searle has told Inglis's manager Allan Gainey the club is ready to join the bidding once the release on compassionate grounds is official.

That's unlikely to happen though until at least next week with the club's new boss Ron Gauci to attend a chief executives meeting in Sydney later this week.

While Brisbane are quietly confident the Queensland and Australian representative wants to link with them, they have made it clear they won't up their initial offer of around $500,000 a season, which includes third party deals, if the Titans offer him more.

Inglis's manager, Allan Gainey, who has said his client's preference is to play for Brisbane, said he'd been instructed to listen to the Gold Coast's offer.
