- Storm and Souths Star retired from the NRL in 2019
- Part of Queensland's sustained success as a player
Greg Ingis tormented NSW in his origin days, and now Queensland's legend has returned to help train the women's team.
Inglis, 38, will work with Tahnee Norris before the three -game series from Suncorp stadium in Brisbane on May 1.
Born on the north coast of NSW in Kempsey, Inglis made 32 appearances for Queensland between 2006-2018 and was a key figure in the wing or center, scoring 18 attempts.
He retired from the NRL in 2019 after 263 games for Melbourne and South Sydney, which included a prime minister with the Rabbitohs in 2014.
The previous titles with the storm in 2007 and 2009 were later stripped due to the rapes of the salary cover.
“I really want to work with so much Greg, it's a game legend,” said Chief Coach Norris News Corp.

These days, Greg Inglis is helping Australians change their lives through their work with the innovative Goanna Academy (in the photo)
'Greg has always been a women's rugby league defender.
'He has previously been in our camps as a mentor, so having the opportunity to put it full this year will be a great asset for us.
'The knowledge it brings is only insurmountable. I know that our external backs in particular will learn a lot from him.
In 2023, Inglis began traveling through the country as part of his work with the Goanna Academy, the first indigenous -owned mental health supplier of Australia.
'GI' established the body three years earlier in an attempt to help those who fight with mental health battles.
Inglis fought against his own demons throughout his career as a player, and was finally diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder in 2019 at a time that changed his life.
The key message that English seeks to promote is that it is 'well not to be well', but to look for the available help of professionals.
The mediobord of the Sharks, Niche Hynes, is a proud defender of the Goanna Academy, with its companions indigenous stars Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker also ambassadors.
I English told Daily Mail Australia that the cost of the country's life crisis has increased the demand for Goanna Academy services, and has the mission of “building it throughout Australia.”
The ultimate goal is to have offices in all the main cities and towns of the countryside so that the academy “can be an advanced position to reach people.”
