Inglis Brisbane bound

6:22 am on 11 August 2010

The long-running Greg Inglis saga is over with confirmation the superstar rugby league centre is heading to Brisbane next season.

Melbourne confirmed today that Inglis and the Canberra-bound prop Brett White are being released from the rest of their contracts in the wake of the Storm's salary cap scandal.

Melbourne's confidence about keeping Inglis soared over the weekend following talks with the NRL salary cap auditor Ian Schubert when there was no directive they would have to disband their Fab Four of Inglis, Billy Slater, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk.

But a last ditch bid to retain Inglis by releasing a string of players was trumped by the Broncos' revised two-year package, plus Inglis' desire to be with his fiancee who has just started a new job in Brisbane.
