New Zealand Warriors in the Storms' 22–16 win at
Mt Smart Stadium in Round 1. After scoring 9 tries in 9 games, Inglis was selected in the starting line up in the
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
NSW while
Queensland Rugby League claim that either

Olympic Park. Inglis was again selected to play on the wing for his state, and scored in Queensland's 10–6 win, which gave Queensland their second consecutive Origin series victory. Despite scoring 3 tries in 2 games on the wing for Queensland, Storm coach
Craig Bellamy kept pursuing Inglis as a . In Game 3 of the Origin series, Inglis injured a ligament in his knee after just 22 minutes, and as a result missed 2 weeks of action. Queensland ultimately lost the game, 18–4, but had already wrapped up the series. Following his return, Inglis and the Storm focused on the finals. The Storm suffered their third loss of 2007 in Round 20 against a
Brad Fittler coached
Sydney Roosters side 26–16 loss at
SFS. Following this, the Storm remained undefeated for the rest of the season, winning their second consecutive
Minor Premiership. In the finals, the Storm got redemption from the heartbreaking 2006 loss after beating the
Brisbane Broncos 40–0 in the Qualifying Final, eliminating them from the competition for 2007. They then defeated the
Parramatta Eels 26–10 in the preliminary final to qualify for the
2007 NRL Grand Final, where the Storm faced off against the
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, who finished second. After a 10–4 lead at halftime and an untimely injury to

Clive Churchill Medal. Inglis also played in the one-off test at the end of the year. Inglis scored a hat-trick in
Australia's record breaking 58–0 thrashing of
New Zealand at
Westpac Stadium. Later that year, Inglis was selected as a centre in the Storm's "team of the decade" to celebrate their ten-year anniversary.
2008 Inglis had shoulder surgery in the 2007–2008 off-season, and consequently missed the opening 2 rounds of the
2008 NRL Season. Inglis returned in the Round 3 clash with the
Sydney Roosters, which the Storm lost 10–6 at
SFS, giving them their first consecutive losses since Round 3 and 4 of the
2006 NRL Season (they lost to the
Cronulla Sharks the previous week). Inglis was selected on the in the
Australian team for the historical
Centenary Test against
New Zealand. Inglis provided a memorable moment, by amazingly hitting the ball into the field of play to provide
Mark Gasnier with a try. Australia won 28–12. Inglis was selected to play for
Queensland for the
2008 State of Origin series in the centres. Inglis was in Queensland's 18–10 Game 1 loss to
New South Wales at
ANZ Stadium. In Game 2, Inglis had a brilliant performance, setting up two tries for
Darius Boyd as Queensland won 30–0. Around this time,
Sonny Bill Williams walked out of the
Bulldogs and joined French
rugby union side
RC Toulonnais, despite being contracted with the Bulldogs until 2012. This move was believed to be instigated by Khoder Nassar, who is also the manager of former 3-time
World Champion boxer
Anthony Mundine, who walked out of the
St. George Illawarra Dragons in 2000. Inglis, who is family friends with both Mundine and Nassar, was rumoured to be on the verge of walking out of the Storm and joining
Super Rugby side the
Western Force, despite being contracted until 2010. However, Inglis stayed loyal to the Storm and extended his contract until 2012. In Game 3 of the Origin series, Queensland won 16–10, getting their third consecutive series win. Despite having a solid series, Inglis failed to score during the Origin campaign.

Minor Premiership. In August 2008, Inglis was named in the
preliminary 46-man Kangaroos squad for the
2008 World Cup. At the

Mark Gasnier in the 2008 Centenary Test. In the finals, the Storm lost 15–18 to the 8th place
New Zealand Warriors, becoming the first 1st placed team to lose an 8th place team. In the Semi-Finals, the Storm faced the
Brisbane Broncos. In a brilliant match, Inglis scored with 56 seconds remaining to give the Storm a 16–14 victory. The Storm easily beat the
Cronulla Sharks, 28–0, to qualify to another Grand Final. However, they lost in a record breaking 40–0 clash with the
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, failing to retain their Premiership. Inglis played in 22 matches, scored 17 tries and kicked 1 field goal for the
Storm in the
2008 NRL season. Inglis was confirmed in the final 24-man
Australia squad to compete in the World Cup at the end of the 2008 season. Inglis scored in Australia's 30–6 win over
New Zealand, and a hat-trick in their 52–4 win over
England. Inglis also scored in the Semi-Final win over
Fiji, before Australia surprisingly lost the Final, 34–20, against
New Zealand. Inglis scored 6 tries in 4 games for the tournament, and scored in every match he played for the tournament.
2009 At the start of the 2009 season Inglis attracted a lot of attention due to how much weight he'd gained since the previous season, having bulked from 99 kg up to 110 kg, making him one of the biggest players in the game. Inglis scored the first try of the season for 2009 against
St George Illawarra as well as being one of the best on ground. Inglis scored the match winning field goal to win the game for the Storm, 17–16 at
Olympic Park. In doing so, he had not only ruined
Wayne Bennett's last game in charge of the
Brisbane Broncos but also his first game coaching the
St George Illawarra Dragons, by scoring the match winning point. The Storm had a shaky start to the season, going by a win–loss pattern until Round 7, which they drew 14–14 with the
New Zealand Warriors at
Olympic Park. In Round 8 the Storm extracted grand final revenge on Premiers the
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, with Inglis scoring the 22–8 win at
Brookvale Oval. During this time, Storm coach
Craig Bellamy experimented by putting
Cameron Smith at five-eighth, Inglis back in the centres and
Ryan Hinchcliffe at hooker. However, after
Brett Finch was released by the
Parramatta Eels, the Storm signed him and made him their first choice five-eighth, putting Inglis back at his preferred centres position. Inglis was selected for
Australia in the
2009 Anzac Test match against
New Zealand on 8 May 2009. Inglis was part of an all-Queensland backline, including
Billy Slater,
Darius Boyd,
Justin Hodges,
Israel Folau,
Darren Lockyer and
Johnathan Thurston. This feat had not been achieved since 1924. Australia won 38–10, with the backline scoring all the points. In April 2009, Inglis was named in the preliminary 25-man squad to represent

Wally Lewis Medal for player of the series that year in recognition of his efforts during the
2009 State of Origin series. After
Karmichael Hunt shockingly signed with the new
AFL club the
Gold Coast, Inglis revealed he wouldn't mind "having a crack" at AFL. This created concern that Inglis may make a switch, but Inglis made it clear on the
Footy Show that he will fulfill his contract with the Melbourne Storm. On 10 August 2009, Inglis was charged with recklessly causing injury and the unlawful assault of his girlfriend Sally Robinson the previous day, and was indefinitely suspended from playing with the Melbourne Storm. Inglis was cleared to return to play with the Melbourne Storm by the club's board and the
NRL on 27 August. Inglis pleaded not guilty to the charges, with the case adjourned for a contest hearing on 12 April 2010. After his court hearing was postponed, Inglis made his comeback against the
Sydney Roosters, scoring a double in the Storm's final game 38–4 win at
Olympic Park. At the
2009 Dally M Awards Inglis was named of the year and representative player of the year. In the finals, the Storm comfortably defeated premiers the
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles 40–12, before defeating the
Brisbane Broncos 40–10, in which Inglis scored a hat-trick. The Storm qualified for their fourth consecutive grand final, against the
Parramatta Eels. In the
2009 NRL Grand Final against the
Parramatta Eels, Inglis scored a try from a
Cooper Cronk bomb and kicked a final

2009 Four Nations tournament. Inglis also scored in the 46–16 final win over
England and was named player of the series in the
Four nations final. Inglis also claimed the
Golden Boot Award for the best rugby league player in the world. In November 2009, American boxer
Roy Jones Jr. struck up a friendship with Inglis and dubbed him the
Peyton Manning of Australia in terms of athletic ability. Jones later suggested he would be a smash in
American football. In December 2009 Inglis won his state's major sporting award by being named "Sport Star of the Year" at the Queensland Sports Awards, becoming the first footballer of any code to win it.
2010 Although selected for the
Indigenous All Stars side to face the
NRL All Stars in the inaugural All Stars match on 13 February, Inglis was ruled out due to a hip injury. Inglis recovered in time to play for the Storm in their victory over the Super League champions
Leeds Rhinos in the
2010 World Club Challenge which the Storm won, 18–10. In Round 4 against the
Penrith Panthers, Inglis played his 100th
NRL match in the Storms' 16–10 win at
Penrith Stadium. For the
2010 Anzac Test, Inglis was selected to play for
Australia at in their 12–8 victory against
New Zealand at
AAMI Park. The assault allegation affair ended in April 2010 when Inglis avoided a conviction, accepting a diversion order. In April 2010, it was revealed that the Storm had been breaching the salary cap since 2005, and were subsequently stripped of their
NRL Premiership victories in 2007 and 2009. They were also stripped of their 2006, 2007 and 2008
Minor Premiership trophies. Finally, they were stripped of their accumulated premiership points that season and were barred from obtaining any competition points from the
2010 NRL Season, meaning they would inevitably get the wooden spoon, the first in the club's history. Inglis was still allowed to continue to be recognised as the
Clive Churchill Medallist from the 2007 grand final. In May 2010, Inglis was invited to trial with
National Football League teams
Buffalo and
Denver. In Round 10, Inglis scored a personal best 16 points, with 3 tries and 2 goals against the
Canberra Raiders in the Storms' 17–6 win at
Canberra Stadium. In doing so, he brought his career try tally to 72 tries, overtaking
Marcus Bai to become the 3rd highest tryscorer for the
Melbourne Storm, behind retired legend
Matt Geyer and teammate
Billy Slater. In Game 1 of the
2010 State of Origin series, Inglis scored a try in Queensland's 28–24 win as they look to achieve a 5th straight series win. On 11 June 2010,
Timana Tahu walked out of the
New South Wales Origin camp, which was cited as "personal reasons". On 12 June, however, it was revealed that Tahu walked because of racial comments made by
New South Wales Assistant Coach
Andrew Johns. It was later revealed the comments were directed at Inglis, as Johns was talking about him with NSW debutant
Beau Scott, who faced off with Inglis in Game 2. On 13 June, Tahu revealed that Inglis was not the only target of the racial comments. On 24 June, Inglis said that Johns should be banned from any further involvement in the game of rugby league. In July 2010, Inglis reportedly accepted an apology from Johns. This triggered Inglis to have a big Game 2, scoring the opening try and engaging in a brawl with debutant
Beau Scott. This 34–6 victory to Queensland gave them their record fifth straight series win. Queensland achieved their first series whitewash since 1995, and the first of Origin since 2000, to cap off their fifth consecutive series win, winning a thrilling 23–18 encounter. In the wake of the salary cap problems at the Storm, Inglis' future at the club after 2010 became uncertain. Many clubs from four football codes (rugby league, rugby union, American football and Australian rules) pursued him. Clubs included the
Brisbane Broncos,
Gold Coast Titans,
South Sydney Rabbitohs,
Catalans Dragons,
Essendon Football Club and
New York Jets. On 10 August 2010, Inglis signed with the
Brisbane Broncos for the
2011 and 2012 NRL seasons in a deal worth $1.2 million. The Broncos had released a key player in
Israel Folau who joined
AFL club, the
Greater Western Sydney Giants, which freed up the funds necessary to secure Inglis' services. Inglis' girlfriend Sally Robinson was living and working in Brisbane, a factor which is said to have helped Inglis make his decision to sign with the Broncos. In August 2010, after the Storm agreed to release Inglis after the 2010 NRL Season, Inglis announced he will join the
Brisbane Broncos. On 1 September 2010, the Broncos ordered Inglis to have a shoulder reconstruction in the 2010–2011 off-season. This caused Inglis to miss the end of year
Four Nations. In his final game for the Storm in Round 26, against the
Newcastle Knights, Inglis scored 2 tries as the Storm won 34–4 at
AAMI Park. The win sent off several players who were leaving the club at the end of 2010 due to the salary cap drama. Inglis had also finished the
2010 NRL season as the Storm's top try-scorer with 11 and kicked 7 goals (58) in 20 matches in his last year with the club. By October 2010, no contract with the Broncos had been signed, due to the Storm refusing to release Inglis. On 24 October 2010, the Storm revealed that Inglis owed the club $113,000 worth of legal fees following his 2009 assault charge. A week later, the
South Sydney Rabbitohs made an offer to Inglis. Inglis missed the Broncos first training session of the 2010–2011 pre-season on 1 November, citing bad weather in Sydney, where he was staying, as the reason. On 2 November, Inglis assured Broncos CEO
Bruno Cullen that he will play for the Broncos in 2011. Two days later, future Broncos teammate
Justin Hodges criticised the treatment of Inglis, saying Inglis was considering walking out of rugby league. On 5 November, the Broncos gave Inglis a 24-hour deadline to sign with the club. On 6 November, after Inglis failed to reach Brisbane, the Broncos pulled out of signing Inglis, leaving him without a club for 2011 and beyond. Inglis also received an offer from French rugby club
Toulon, backing up Hodges' claim that Inglis may walk out of rugby league. Inglis's inability to sign with the Broncos has been criticised by Cullen, who claims Inglis "betrayed" the Broncos. On 8 November 2010, it was revealed Inglis would most likely sign with the Rabbitohs. On 12 November, Inglis signed with the
South Sydney Rabbitohs for the
2011, 2012 and 2013 NRL seasons. The deal was worth $1.8 million. Influences for Inglis's shock move to
Redfern included
Rabbitohs owner
Russell Crowe, Inglis's close friend
Anthony Mundine, Inglis's cousin
Beau Champion and billionaire
Andrew Forrest. Inglis attended his first training session on 15 November. However, third-party deals totaling $200,000 had to be included within South Sydney's salary cap which placed the Rabbits over the NRL salary cap. The deal was not officially approved by the NRL, the Melbourne Storm or the NRL's auditor, Ian Schubert. By 18 December, no deal had been solidified with the Rabbitohs, putting Inglis's NRL career into doubt. According to reports, Schubert refused to accept the contract signed with the Rabbitohs, leaving Inglis to consider leaving the NRL. Inglis soon met with
AFL clubs
St. Kilda and
Essendon. Inglis later revealed he was hours away from signing with Essendon. On 24 December 2010, it was officially announced that Inglis had signed the contract with the Rabbitohs for three seasons, at the expense of cousin Beau Champion, who signed with Melbourne Storm for the same period of time.
2011 Inglis was named in the
Indigenous All-Stars side for the second annual
NRL All-Stars game. However, his off-season surgery forced him to miss both the All-Stars game for the second consecutive year, as well as the annual
Charity Shield game between Souths and reigning
NRL Premiers St. George Illawarra Dragons. Inglis made his Rabbitohs debut on the opening night of the
2011 NRL season scoring a try in a 29–40 loss to traditional rivals the

Storm assistant coach
Michael Maguire, who Inglis knows very well, as their coach for 2012 and beyond, but the Rabbitohs had to deal with
England international
Sam Burgess being ruled out for the season, as well as the news of halfback
Chris Sandow signing for the
Parramatta Eels for 2012. Also, due to the injury of Rabbitohs captain
Roy Asotasi, Inglis became front-runner to assume captaincy of the club, but the job was given to
Michael Crocker. Inglis was selected for the
2011 Anzac Test against
New Zealand, despite his inconsistent form. Inglis was injured in the opening 10 minutes of the game with a hip injury. Australia went on to win 20–10 at
Cbus Super Stadium. The injury, however, proved more serious than first thought, and consequently Inglis was ruled out of Game One of the
2011 State of Origin series. In Round 13, Inglis made his return to take on his former club the
Melbourne Storm in the Rabbitohs 16–6 loss at
ANZ Stadium. Inglis returned to the
Maroons side in the 18–8 Game 2 loss to
NSW. After some poor form by Inglis in Origin Game 2, Inglis scored the first try in Game 3 in a double in the 34–24 decider victory. The double allowed Inglis to equal the Queensland try-scoring record held by
Dale Shearer. Following the Maroons' sixth consecutive series victory, Inglis found form for the Rabbitohs, scoring five tries in his final six games of the season. In Round 25 against the

Four Nations. Inglis scored in each of his appearances in the
2011 Four-Nations, including in the 30–8 final win over
England at
Elland Road.

Indigenous All-Stars squad, however, due to injury in
2010 and
2011, it was his first All-Star appearance. Inglis scored a try in a thrilling 36–28 loss to the
NRL All Stars and also suffered an ankle injury. Due to lack of quality ball, new Rabbitohs coach and former Melbourne assistant
Michael Maguire shifted Inglis from the centres to his original position at fullback in the Round 3 game against the
Penrith Panthers. Inglis excelled there, assisting in the Rabbitohs 40–24 win at
Penrith Stadium. Following his performance, Inglis became the regular fullback for the Rabbitohs. Inglis's abilities at fullback were demonstrated with him kicking a game-winning field goal against the
Wests Tigers in Round 5 in the Rabbitohs 17–16 win at
SFS, and a dominant Round 9 three-try performance against the
Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in the Rabbitohs 34–28 win at

seventh series in a row, even playing fullback in Game 3 due to an injury to
Billy Slater in the Maroons 21–20 win at
Suncorp Stadium. After only one finals appearance since 1989, the Rabbitohs enjoyed a strong season, led by Inglis and the likes of
David Taylor,
Sam Burgess,
Isaac Luke and rookie halfback
Adam Reynolds, as well as the coaching of
Michael Maguire. They finished 3rd on the ladder, their most successful season since re-joining the NRL in
