Greg Inglis accomplished it all in his career as the player for South Sydney Rabbitohs, Queensland Maroons and Australia.

Inglis won a NRL premiership at the Rabbitohs, led Queensland's State of Origin dominance and won a Rugby League World Cup with Australia.

The 32-year-old's glittering career, however, is over. An ongoing shoulder problem forcing the NRL great into immediate retirement on Monday.
