NRL star Greg Inglis has escaped conviction for speeding and drinking driving after a magistrate noted his “significant” contribution to the community off the field. The South Sydney Rabbitohs captain was told he was free to go as long as he adhered to an 18-month good behavior bond. Outside court a subdued Inglis, 32, gave a short statement.
Inglis was stripped of the Australian captaincy after he was clocked at 99km/h in an 80 zone of the Great Western Highway at Lithgow before he returned a reading of 0.085. His lawyer, James Jordan, told the court he had been celebrating that achievement with friends and family the night before. But he said he stopped drinking and went to bed shortly after midnight and waited until 11 the next day to begin the drive back to Sydney.
