Biography
Giant Brisbane centre overcame some physical and emotional growing pains to stamp his reputation as the most exciting prospect in the game during the 2006 season. Greg Inglis was a try-scoring sensation playing for Brisbane Norths as a 17 year-old in 2004 before joining Melbourne. Although he played in only 13 games with the Storm in 2005 he quickly marked himself as an explosive speedster who can create a try from anywhere on the playing field. The following year he scored 18 tries in 19 games including a spectacular, 60 metre effort against St George. Inglis made his State of Origin debut in 2006 and scored two tries in the first match of the series won narrowly, 17-16, by NSW. Queensland’s series win, and Melbourne’s charge into the grand final, kept the teenager in the forefront for selection in Australia’s Tri-Nations campaign. Despite losing the grand final to Brisbane Inglis capped a brilliant season by playing in all five Tests, including Australia’s 16-12, extra-time victory over NZ, in the final.

When he really wants to win a game then the other team may as well go to the sheds.

He is one of the most gifted players that has ever played the game with his speed, strength and just in general play is an absolute genius but overall a magnificent player.
4 Apr 2014 1:40am
Inglis is the most powerful and athletic back i have ever seen , can win a game almost single handed , steamroll big forwards , and then leave the opposition quicks in his wake . Has the best fend in the modern game , and if the shoulder charge was still in the rule book , look out !.
1 Jul 2014 11:07am

10 Nov 2014 5:18pm
I love the work that GI does he is not only an inspirational player but he also have a big heart that is full of love and compassion. For more proof, look at what he did on the Dally M awards night.
25 Feb 2015 2:36pm
iguana is a beast! gifted talent for the sport of rugby league
27 Mar 2015 5:40pm
One of, if not the, greatest player to ever play the sport
25 Jul 2015 11:46am
he is an an absolutely amazing freak of nature! I love watching him play. Even at his worst he still is a great player on the field. And at his best he is absolutely unstoppable
22 Dec 2017 2:33pm
So sad that he was injured this year! Look forward to seeing the goanna in 2018!
21 Apr 2018 6:27pm
Such a gifted athlete and footballer with an incredible ability to break the line. Inglis running in full flight is possibly the greatest thing I have ever seen in Rugby League. The balance and speed for such a big man is incredible, throw in that fend his sheer strength and he is virtually unstoppable. If there was a stat for pulling in opposition defenders to create tries for his team mates, Inglis would probably hold the record. Great to see him back in 2018.
16 Apr 2019 5:12pm
Best ball runner I have ever seen. Also in origin I seen him smash front rowers like Klemmer and tauhmo from Penrith and many more big hits and plays in origin. What a freak he should be an immortal.
3 Dec 2019 2:37pm
The most naturally gifted player I have ever watched in 40+ years. Agility, strength, raw power, unbelievable skill level, leadership by actions and humble as well!
What a ride watching him pay over the years. Will miss his solo feats that made Rugby league the standout game to watch when GI was "on his game".
24 Sep 2020 12:36pm
I never seen a player like GI. Hes fans favorite where and his Gonna styles after putting tries is unique. PNG has his handful of fans and I am one of them.
7 Aug 2021 7:11pm
Only 1 Premiership Won (fair and square) in 2014
15 Oct 2021 11:29am
