Greg Inglis, mighty unlucky or just one too many?

Over the years we have all seen the absolute marvel of Greg Inglis. His speed, strength, agility and overall rugby league talent is a view to behold for every fan. However, since his positional switch from centre to fullback, and the greater responsibility he has been given to roam the field, the media and fans alike have started to question his particular running style.

His running style has begun to be questioned due to the fact that he has been involved in a high number of 'spear tackles' whereby his legs are lifted off the ground which results in his neck and legs being placed in a dangerous position. Moreover, due to the high number of spear tackles he has been involved in, the media and fans have started to closely monitor his running style and have emphasised any possibility in which he places himself in the dangerous position by leaning forward into tackles.

Greg Inglis knows he is a target on the field, but having been the victim of four ugly spear tackles this season, questions need to be asked on the coincidence of them all. The South Sydney star however has admitted to being stunned by suggestions he needs to change his running style and believes that neither of the tackles have been premeditated.

Sydney Roosters great Brad Fittler said he didn't feel Inglis was in the wrong, but believed a change would be in Inglis' best interests.

"The key is Greg's the constant factor in a lot of the tackles," Fittler said.

"I just don't want to see him get hurt. I don't want to see anyone get hurt like that. He's not doing anything wrong, but it's up to Greg."

Greg concluded by responding that "if I've got to change my running style ... I don't know, I'm a bit stunned by that."
