'''Gregory Paul Inglis''' (born 15 January 1987), also known by the [[nickname]] of '''"G.I."''', is a retired Indigenous Australian professional [[rugby league]] footballer, who regularly played as a centre, fullback, five-eighth and wing.

From 2011 to 2019, Inglis played in the [[National Rugby League|NRL]] for the [[South Sydney Rabbitohs]], including their 2014 premiership win.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.smh.com.au/photogallery/rugby-league/league-news/nrl-indigenous-all-stars-named-20111207-1oii3.html| work=The Sydney Morning Herald| title=NRL Indigenous All Stars named}}</ref> A [[Queensland rugby league team|Queensland]] [[State of Origin series|State of Origin]] and [[Australia national rugby league team|Australian international]] representative outside back, he previously played for the [[Melbourne Storm]], with whom he won two [[grand final]]s, a [[Clive Churchill Medal]] and the [[Rugby League World Golden Boot Award|Golden Boot Award]]. Inglis was a versatile back, having played in several positions during his career. He originally played {{rlp|wg}} or {{rlp|ce}} for the [[Melbourne Storm|Storm]], occasionally filling in at {{rlp|fb}} when injuries or players demanded.

In 2007, he moved to and played at {{rlp|fe}} until early 2009 before he switched to centre when [[Brett Finch]] arrived at the club, where he played for the remainder of his time there until the end of [[2010 NRL season|2010]].

Inglis' representative matches for [[Queensland state rugby league team|Queensland]] and [[Australia national rugby league team|Australia]] have been mainly as a {{rlp|ce|fb}} or {{rlp|wg}}er. In November 2009, Inglis won the [[Rugby League World Golden Boot Award|Golden Boot Award]] as the world's best player – presented to him by ''[[Rugby League World]]'' magazine, becoming the third consecutive Storm player to win it, after [[Cameron Smith (rugby league, born 1983)|Cameron Smith]] (2007) and [[Billy Slater]] (2008). In 2018, Inglis was given the captaincy of the [[Queensland Maroons]] for the series against the [[New South Wales rugby league team|New South Wales Blues]] (2018). At the end of the 2019 season, he announced his retirement, but in May 2020 signed with the [[Warrington Wolves]] for the 2021 English Super League season. After three matches, a hamstring injury ended his tenure with that club.

==Early years==
Inglis was born in [[Kempsey, New South Wales]], Australia to a family of [[Indigenous Australians|Indigenous Australian]] ([[Dunghutti]]) heritage.<ref>[http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/how-inglis-inspires-his-bruthas/news-story/033e5820b1da8d11d8f4fde749cb8af4 How Greg Inglis inspires a generation]. The Courier Mail. Retrieved 8 February 2017.</ref> He began playing [[rugby league]] at a very young age for the [[Bowraville Tigers]] in [[New South Wales]].

At 15 years old, after being seen playing at a junior carnival on the NSW North Coast, Inglis signed his first professional contract with the [[Canberra Raiders]] but actually played his first senior game at 16 for Hunter Sports High School in New South Wales.<ref>[http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/rules-overhauled-to-end-inglis-saga/story-e6frep5x-1226285601708 State of Origin rules overhauled to avoid repeat of Greg Inglis Queensland defection]. The Courier Mail. Retrieved 1 March 2012.</ref> Later that year he moved to [[Brisbane, Queensland]] and continued to play senior football for [[Wavell State High School]] and Melbourne Storm's feeder club [[Norths Devils]]. While in [[Year Eleven|Year 11]] at Brisbane's Wavell State High School, Inglis played for the [[Australia national schoolboys rugby league team|2004 Australian Schoolboys]] and was already attracting media attention as an NRL star of the future.<ref>{{cite news

The Storm went on to reach the finals that season and in a play-off match against the [[Brisbane Broncos]], Inglis had his first experience in finals football. With the game still in the balance, [[Billy Slater]] was helped from the field with an ankle injury and Inglis replaced him. After being on the field for five minutes, he crossed the Broncos' line untouched to score the match-winning try.<ref>{{cite news

===2006===
Season 2006 saw Inglis continue to play primarily in the {{rlp|fb}} role as his counterpart Billy Slater was suspended after he began the season at {{rlp|ce}}. Inglis was chosen as goalkicker for the Storm after the departure of [[Matt Orford]], but the role was given to [[Cameron Smith (rugby league, born 1983)|Cameron Smith]] after Inglis kicked just 1 from 5 against the [[New Zealand Warriors]] in the Storms' 22–16 win at [[Mt Smart Stadium]] in Round 1.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/league/teens-effort-inspires-storm/2006/03/12/1142098343986.html|title=Teen's effort inspires Storm - League - Sport - theage.com.au|website=www.theage.com.au|access-date=15 June 2018|date=13 March 2006}}</ref> After scoring 9 tries in 9 games, Inglis was selected in the starting line up in the [[Queensland Rugby League team|Queensland State of Origin team]]. Inglis' selection for the [[Queensland Rugby League]] [[State of Origin series]] team in 2006 created controversy which lingers nearly a decade later. Inglis was born and raised in [[Bowraville, New South Wales]], and played his first senior football in New South Wales (in the Arrive Alive Cup). Hunter Sports High coach Steve Dunn exposed the fact that Inglis playing for the school in the [[Arrive Alive Cup]] made him eligible for [[New South Wales rugby league team|NSW]] while [[Queensland Rugby League]] claim that either [[Wavell State High School]] or [[Brisbane Norths]] was Inglis' first senior football.<ref>{{cite news

However, later investigations revealed that Inglis played his first senior game for Newcastle's Hunter Sports High School at the age of 16, and is therefore technically not eligible to play for Queensland.<ref>Ricketts, Steve.

A few early errors were soon forgotten when Inglis scored two tries and saved one. This was not enough for Queensland to win the match as they lost 17–16.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/articles/2006/05/24/1148150333251.html?page=fullpage|title=Ring-in Finch saves the day for Blues - League - Sport - smh.com.au|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=15 June 2018|date=25 May 2006}}</ref> In the game after his brilliant Origin debut, Inglis suffered a back injury in Round 13 against the [[Sydney Roosters]] in the Storms' 20–16 win at [[Olympic Park]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/league/inglis-magic-helps-storm-prevail/2006/06/03/1148956588163.html|title=Inglis magic helps Storm prevail - League - Sport - theage.com.au|website=www.theage.com.au|access-date=15 June 2018|date=4 June 2006}}</ref> This injury kept him out for two months, effectively making him miss the rest of the [[2006 State of Origin series]].

===2007===
In 2007, Inglis was switched primarily to {{rlp|fe}}; his form at five-eighth was often criticised. In the opening month of the [[2007 NRL Season]], Inglis failed to score a try. In Round 4, Inglis sustained a knee injury against the [[Newcastle Knights]] in the 22–12 win at [[Hunter Stadium]] which kept him out of the [[2007 Anzac Test]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/news/Sport/King-to-gain-from-Inglis-misfortune/2007/04/14/1175971401382.html|title=Inglis ruled out of Anzac Test - Breaking News - Sport - Breaking News|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=15 June 2018|date=14 April 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2007-04-07/storm-extend-unbeaten-run/2236644|title=Storm extend unbeaten run|newspaper=ABC News|date=7 April 2007|access-date=15 June 2018}}</ref> Despite not scoring at {{rlp|fe}}, Inglis was selected for the [[Queensland State of Origin team]] for the [[2007 State of Origin series]], playing on the {{rlp|wg}}.
