THE girlfriend of National Rugby League and Melbourne Storm superstar Greg Inglis has revealed new information to police that may ultimately clear him of assaulting her.
Sally Robinson yesterday handed investigators a lengthy statement that provides a different version of events to the one she had previously given.
The signed statement is believed to reveal specific information about what triggered the altercation.
It is understood to refer to Inglis trying to disarm Ms Robinson while she was in the process of self-harm.
Ms Robinson decided earlier this week to get independent legal advice about her actions and Inglis' role.
The Age reported this week that Ms Robinson had earlier told police she did not want Inglis charged, and claimed recent Botox treatment had caused some of the bruising on her face.
She was also said to have admitted being ''in Greg's face'' when he allegedly palmed her away.
Inglis, 22, an Australian representative player regarded as one of the world's best, has been charged with intentionally causing injury and unlawful assault.
