Greg Inglis has offered a surprising response to his drink-driving scandal, refusing to step down as Kangaroos captain. Inglis addressed the media on Tuesday, apologising for his criminal charge. However GI says he will leave it to coach Mal Meninga and the NRL to decide whether he will remain Test captain. On Monday, Inglis was named Kangaroos skipper by Meninga just hours before he was pulled over by police after being clocked speeding and returning a positive blood alcohol test.
Inglis did not resign or quit the Australian team when he fronted media, as had been speculated by some, saying he hoped to hold on to his captaincy post but would accept any decision taken by those in charge. “I don’t think I’ve let my country down,” he said. “It’s out of my hands now but it’s something I would really love to still be the Australian captain. “Obviously we have standards there. I was in the meetings when we addressed those standards in the group a couple of years ago.“It’s disappointing from my end.”
