Greg Inglis has been spotted decked out in Wests Tigers gear at the club’s Concord headquarters over the weekend.
The former South Sydney captain, who hasn’t held an official role with the Rabbitohs since 2020, has been brought into the fold at the Tigers as a mentor to boom fullback Jahream Bula.
Greg Inglis spotted at Wests Tigers headquarters this week.


The club insists Inglis has not accepted a role with the club’s coaching staff or been brought in to help the football department, but rather as a confidant to the young fullback.
Inglis has been tasked with assisting Bula off the field as he deals with the adjustment and pressure of going from a relative unknown to a rugby league star in the space of 12 months.

Inglis watched on at training over the weekend, sporting the black and gold for the first time. He’s expected to continue working with Bula, who recently signed a $2.7-$2.8 million extension to stay at the Tigers until the end of 2027.

The final year of his deal is a mutual option. If Bula takes up the option he is guaranteed $800,000 in 2027, but if the club takes up the option it will be for $900,000.
Jahream Bula has emerged as one of the Tigers best young stars in years.

Inglis is managed by Rich Digital, the company part-owned by new Wests Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson alongside his son, Brent.

Richardson was responsible for luring Inglis to South Sydney from the Melbourne Storm ahead of the 2011 season, and has struck up a tight bond with him.


The Tigers boss is also involved in Inglis’ Goanna Academy – a program aimed at helping improve mental health for vulnerable groups across Indigenous communities.
Also attending the training session over the weekend was Australian tennis player Jordan Thompson.

The world No.44, who is a Tigers fan, was invited to train with the team by club officials who recently learned of his love for the club. He was put through his paces alongside the players as they gear up for the NRL season.
The Tigers have endured a turbulent off-season following the resignation of former chief executive Justin Pascoe and the dismissal of the entire football club board, including the principal of major sponsor Brydens Lawyers, Lee Hagipantelis.

The club also parted ways with winger David Nofoaluma after agreeing to a $300,000 payout following a series of off-field misdemeanours.

Nofoaluma still had two years to run on his contract worth around $500,000 a season but settled for $300,000 after he was hit with two breach notices in the space of a month.

The club, however, is optimistic about its future following the high-profile signing of Panthers superstar Jarome Luai on a five-year deal worth more than $6 million from next season.

That's great business for Bula, cheap as chips. If he's only really solid it's fair money by 2027, and if he's a superstar there's plenty of room for an upgrade to extend him.

It will…Eventually. One thing people shouldn’t do is slit their wrists if on field results don’t come this year. They probably won’t. But that’s okay cos 2025 will be a big year.

IF one of our halves combinations turns out to be up to first grade, and that’s still an IF, it’ll be a couple of months into the season before it’s cohesive. Said the same thing about last year with a bunch of new forwards. The top sides have minimal change in their spine and an established playing style.

Having a great spine in 2025 and 2026 will only help him further, especially if we figure out who our new half will be next year and if they kick on well

Noffa is the worst winger I’ve ever seen in my life. Looks like the Albanian spy kid from the simpsons back in the 80s. Shit player.

Go the Solos!

Now that is just plain garbage you are spewing because you hate him, it has zero credibility about it too.
He has scored over 100 tries and played nearly 200 games, yet he is the worst winger to strap on a boot, you are just embarrassing yourself now.

Not only that, but two guys who have never played first grade are automatic better options. There isn‘t much subtly.

It still amazes me that some people are talking about Galvin playing forwards anytime soon when he's a super skinny Seyfarth body frame, and even now Seyfarth still struggles with the physicality of the league.

Also pretty laughable to think Doueihi might get any gametime this season. He'll pay 7-8 NSW cup games at most before being released at the end of the season. He is not part of the clubs future.

I’m not sure about your Douhei comments. I’ve got a funny feeling that if he gets through whatever games ( or grades) he plays, we might just throw him a last chance. Won’t know until much later in the season but if we do remember you heard it here first !

Even if we do, it’s going to be on a heavily reduced contract. Almost bottom dollar. He’ll be a depth player.

No Colonel Sanders youre wrong.

Worst. Player. Ever.
 
It's possible Taumololo is on the nose at the Cowboys. I'd be interested to hear opinions on whether people would be interested if the Cowboys threw in $300k a year.

Would you take him at $700k a season?
