When has Inglis ever has to carry a side like Hayne did for most of his career then you can compare them, Has Inglis ever had to play in an average side let alone the woeful ones Hayne had to carry??? Same argument goes for Slater, much easier to do your job in a top line side. Loved to have seen how both of them would of gone in Parra's teams from 2011-14. Even our 09 side had one of the worst spines in NRL history.
When he first arrived at souths they were pretty average. He went ok at in 2011 but it wasn't until he was put at fullback in 2012 that souths become a truly good side. He can take a lot of credit for that. Before inglis to fullback souths were a below average side, in 2012 he helped carry that team back to the finals, and by 2014 they were premiers. Before you say souths were considered a stacked side, remember that from our grand final side johnston, walker, auva, reynolds, the burgess twins, Turner, keary made their debut after inglis arrived, Tyrrell, clark, sutton and McQueen were just honest plodders before he arrived, Tuqiri was over the hill and many considered sam burgess a bit of a flop for the first half of his time with souths. He helped souths became the team we were.
