There's no doubt he's a phenomenal and precocious talent, but I don't think he's acheived anything more than SBW and Benji did in their breakout years. I suppose he has done it a little younger than those two.
As for being in the top 2 or 3 players already, that's laughable. He's capable of doing things noone else in the game can, but to suggest he has as much impact on a game as the top 3 going around is farcical.
TehRenegade said:Agreed, these sort of comments are laughable at best. The kid is 19, he's played one full season. To call him in the top 3 players already is disrespectful to players like Lockyer, Buderus, etc, who've done it for years and years and years to earn their rightful spot at the top. If Inglis is still playing the same scintillating style of football in 5 years, perhaps he's more worthy of the title then.
Don't get me wrong, who wouldn't want Inglis in their team, but as for now, that's all he is, a gun youngster. Don't burden the young lad with all these un-necessary comparisons, they will do more harm than good.
Totally agree with these two comments. Yes he has had an impressive first full season, but as already said, not really any different to Benji or SBW at this stage. Remember when Tim Smith was supposed to be the next Peter Sterling, and god forbid, when early last year they were saying that Joey Williams would be as good as Andrew Johns. Give him some time and he might prove to be as good as people say he is, but at the moment.....
