Girlfriend puts new slant on Inglis row
Steve Butcher
August 14, 2009

THE girlfriend of National Rugby League and Melbourne Storm superstar Greg Inglis has revealed new information to police that may ultimately clear him of assaulting her.

Sally Robinson yesterday handed investigators a lengthy statement that provides a different version of events to the one she had previously given.

The signed statement is believed to reveal specific information about what triggered the altercation. It is understood to refer to Inglis trying to disarm Ms Robinson while she was in the process of self-harm.

Ms Robinson decided earlier this week to get independent legal advice about her actions and Inglis' role.

The Age reported this week that Ms Robinson had earlier told police she did not want Inglis charged, and claimed recent Botox treatment had caused some of the bruising on her face.

She was also said to have admitted being ''in Greg's face'' when he allegedly palmed her away.

Inglis, 22, an Australian representative player regarded as one of the world's best, has been charged with intentionally causing injury and unlawful assault.

When contacted by The Age last night, Ms Robinson's solicitor, Bob Galbally, confirmed she had made a fresh statement that had been handed to detectives.

Mr Galbally, of the firm Galbally Rolfe, told The Age in a statement: ''I can confirm that I have provided police with a new statement and other significant facts which they were not aware of when Mr Inglis was charged.

''I am concerned that the public have been left with the wrong impression of what occurred on August 9. Now that the full facts are able to be investigated.

''I am hoping the conclusion will be that no offences have been committed.''

Inglis, who appeared in Sunshine Magistrates Court on Wednesday, has been indefinitely suspended by the club.

Melbourne Storm chief executive Brian Waldron told The Age that Ms Robinson had been re-interviewed yesterday by police and that he expected Inglis would also be re-interviewed. He said Ms Robinson had been receiving individual counselling in addition to that provided by the club.
 
Brian Smith has stepped down with immediate effect at Newcastle.Assistant Rick Stone will step in now & for 2010 & 2011.Surprised they didn't chase on of the Storm assistants.
 
Tigers had a training run v an understrength Cronulla , winning 56-10. Lairised a far bit in the 2nd half. Not the best preparation for next Friday night v Parramatta.

That should be a great game
 
Will be a cracker that one. Both sides coming home with a wet sail.

Tigs will have to get their forwards to do some heavy work going forward and not rely on a long kicking game as that will just create space and time for the likes of Reddy, Inu and especially the on fire Jarryd Hayne to cause problems.

Am looking forward to that game.

Kinghts outta the blocks real fast 10 -0 to Newcastle early doors.
And cleaned up the Storm 26-14,Storm cam home well bu too little too late.Road form has been poor this year.
 
Tigers sick & sorry after tonight's gallant effort v Parramatta , 18-26 in front of 35k.Tuaki out for the season + Moltzen,Ryan & Farah walking wounded & in some doubt for remaining home & away rounds. As feared , last week's jog v Cronulla unsatisfacory preparation for a high intensity match.Rival attacking maetros Marshall & Hayne provided some memorable plays in a pulsating match that both sides could claim they didn't deserve to lose,each scoring 4 tries . On field officiating did the Tigers no favours. 8 pt try award very soft, & a key moment in the contest , one of several curious & ordinary decisions against the hosts...

Saw the highlights mj,looked like a fantastic game.Shame the tigers didn't win.
 
Yep good game last night, the return of key players in Heighinton, Galloway and even the rejuvenated Skandalis has bee a boon for the Tiggies attack on the finals.

Last night may have hurt em longer term re finals now Tuiaki is a massive loss and unfit Farah, Moltzen whos been good in the #7 and Beau Ryan will hurt also.

Benjis try set up how good was that pass better than the Grand Final one i reckon, then the Eels 5 offload try near the back end.

Poor tackling from Tigs cost em that one ....... gotta lock up the ball boys with the tackle rule #1.
 
Lote Tuquiri a moral for the Wests next year is the news which will will hearten Tiggy fans, imagine putting Tuiaki and Tuquiri on the same side ......................... howd you like to try stopping those 2 freight trains bearing down on the in goal.

Todd Carney al;so recieved Gallops blessing and will turn out for the Roosters next year.

Wonder what Braith (im a #6 ) Anasta will do. Guess its the #13 at Roosters or take a hike.

Carney and Pearce will be a good halves combo for the Roosters.

Assuming Carney stays out of trouble
 
Storms gone for 09 me thinks MB me boy, just cant lose players year in year out like Crocker, Folau, Cross, Jeremy Smith and expect to keep on dominating, fwiw i reckon the Storm have done themselves a decent service this year losing too many players over past 2-3 seasons has finally hobbled em, altho rumor has it Bellamy wants Anthony Watmough at Storm ... standby.

Sadly , it seems Tuquiri would rather take in the $$ lined paths at the Bondi henhouse.
 
Say it aint so Jubey ol son.

Tuqirir does live in Balmain though.

$%!$# the Roosters, where do they get the money for these signings.
