Wounded Storm to call up G.I.?
NORTHS coach Wayne Treleaven joked he was trying to keep star back Greg Inglis secret from onlooker Craig Bellamy after the Melbourne Storms big 36-16 loss to Penrith on Friday.
However it seemed Inglis wasnt willing to co-operate, scoring his second hat-trick of the season as Norths ran away 44-12 winner over Central at Bishop Park.
If for some reason Bellamy hadnt noticed Ingliss half-page picture in the Sunday newspaper, he probably would have noted the plucky talents nine tries in four previous games and the constant accolades from the coaching fraternity.
Of course, Inglis extended his record to 12 tries in five games doubling anybody else in the Queensland Cup and kicked four goals to boot.
Yeah I couldnt hide Greg from Craig, said Treleaven, aware Norths NRL affiliates are likely to call up Inglis soon.
He played a bit in the centres and at fullback again today, but I mean the kid can just play, no matter where they pick him.
Despite growing attention, Treleaven said Inglis remained a humble, good lad and did not need to be shielded from his success.
The 187cm, 98 kg teenager made it hard for teammates to steal the show, but captain Anthony Boyd at least made a fist of things, turning in an outstanding display.
Aaron Bulow and Josh Graham were also potent as the Devils upheld an unbeaten record against the Comets at Bishop Park.
With a completion rate of only 47 per cent, Norths led 22-0 at halftime and marched on with the effort in the second half.
The result places Norths third on the ladder, while Central is in tenth.
Central hosts Easts at Browne Park next Sunday, while Norths has the bye before returning for a tough stretch against Toowoomba, Wynnum, Easts and Burleigh.
NORTHS 44 (Greg Inglis 3, Josh Graham 2, Steve Irwin 2, Ryan Shortland, Brent Mulholland tries; Greg Inglis 4 goals) beat CENTRAL 12 (Herewini Rangi, David Nixon tries; Herewini Rangi 2 goals).
