Just read confirmation on ninemsn that Inglis and White will not be at the $torm next year with Inglis confirmed to the Broncos and White to the Raiders.
Melbourne confirmed on Tuesday that it would release Inglis and Brett White from the rest of their contracts after this season, as it submitted its playing roster for 2011.
Storm chief executive Ron Gauci said the club now expected to be salary cap-compliant in 2011 after releasing Inglis and fellow representative star White (Canberra).
"We have undergone a thorough and transparent process that was always designed to ensure that we meet our salary cap obligations for 2011," Gauci said.
"This process has considered all matters, including our commercial position, the players' needs and preferences, as well as our on-field team balance.
"As a result of that thorough and transparent process we anticipate that we will receive NRL sign-off once the club's final salary cap audit is completed."
Gauci said there would be no further premature player departure announcements this season, indicating they would retain Smith, Slater and Cronk.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy paid tribute to the departing players.
"The legacy that all of our players who are leaving this club have made on the Melbourne Storm won't be lost on those still remaining any time soon," said Bellamy.
"We're sad to see them go and they're sad to be going."
