Greg Inglis’ Kangaroos captaincy lasted just 28 hours before he was suspended for Australia’s two-Test rugby league tour of New Zealand and replaced as leader by Boyd Cordner. Appointed to the role of national captain on Monday, Inglis paid the price for allegedly being caught speeding and drink driving just hours later in Lithgow.
The South Sydney star fronted the media on Tuesday to apologise but said he felt he deserved to stay on as Kangaroos captain. Those hopes were quickly quashed by NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg and Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga two hours later. “Greg is not just a great player, he is one of our best role models, but he made a poor decision on this occasion,” said Greenberg, announcing the suspension.
