South Sydney Rabbitohs centre Greg Inglis was medically forced into an immediate retirement from his playing days in the NRL earlier in the week, in the news many neutral fans of the league dreaded.
Inglis notched up 263 NRL games, scoring 149 tries, 32 Origin appearances for Queensland (18 tries) and 39 Tests for Australia (32 tries), breaking countless records on the way. To commemorate an incredible career, here are five of the great man's most influential performances.
4. Round 10, 2013 - South Sydney 54 d. Wests Tigers 10
The Rabbitohs were in red-hot form coming into this match, winning their last three in a row. A young Dylan Walker scored a try on his first grade debut while Beau Champion, Sam Burgess, George Burgess, Adam Reynolds and Nathan Merritt all got on the scoresheet in a 54-10 rout of the Tigers but it was a four-try haul from 'GI' that stole the show. Inglis was at his best in support play, backing up Issac Luke for his first, and being found by John Sutton by his third. His second try was a brilliant individual effort, picking up a loose ball before moving out of the danger zone and racing 95 metres to score with a crowd of five Tigers players in pursuit. Inglis ran for more than any other player on the night with 236 running metres to his name. He scored his fourth with a minute remaining, chasing an Adam Reynolds kick to score in the corner. It was surprisingly the only game in his career which Greg Inglis has scored more than three tries.
