Why is inglis playing for qld

Walters said he had options in the centres despite the retirements in recent years of Will Chambers, Inglis and Justin Hodges. That may be the case again this year but it just depends what happens in November and in camp with who is available and ready to throw on the Maroons jumper. While this year's Origin series will be like no other, Walters said the essence of the showpiece event in its 40th year would remain. Even though it is being played in November the same spirit, passion and drive that our Queensland boys display will still be there in what should be a really exciting month of sport in Australia.

To add further insult, Inglis confirmed he still refers to himself as a New South Welshman whenever the subject comes up. Meanwhile, Inglis revealed he had found a place to live and completed his medical with the Broncos before backing out of a handshake agreement to sign with the Rabbitohs in He refused to reveal why he pulled out of the Broncos deal and added he hopes to finish his career with the Bunnies.

Cricket 25m ago. Inglis debuted for Queensland in the Origin series at just 19, playing on the wing. He scored two tries on debut, with Lockyer throwing him the final pass each time; though the Maroons lost in Sydney due to a Brett Finch field goal. Inglis was sidelined due to injury as Queensland won games two and three that year, snapping a three-year NSW winning streak, but the die was cast.

He became a major part of an unprecedented streak of eight series wins in a row; his career haul of 18 tries is an Origin record. Inglis, who won premierships with the Rabbitohs and Storm in a game NRL career, will be playing in the Group 2 Rugby League competition, featuring teams from Grafton in the north to Macksville in the south. It follows a short, injury-hit playing stint in the English Super League for Warrington. Macksville announced the signing with great pride on social media, saying Inglis was excited to play for the club his father once played for.
