Inglis ruled out of Origin II

Melbourne Storm full-back Greg Inglis has officially been ruled out of next week's State of Origin II in Brisbane.

Inglis has stress fractures in his lower back and has been replaced by Canberra's Adam Mogg.

Maroons officials said they accepted the Storm's advice that the teenager would not be fit for next Wednesday's match.

Mogg will join his team-mates when the Maroons assemble for tomorrow's medicals in Brisbane.

Inglis had said earlier that he did not want to risk serious injury by travelling to Brisbane for further medical checks by Maroons staff.

"It's always disappointing to miss out on Origin," he said.

"I'm just happy my name's being thrown into the squad and they're hungry to get me back in there but I'm trying to get myself right.

"Hopefully I'll have 10 years in this business and I don't want to go up there and risk losing two years."

Inglis said he was hoping the Maroons could force the series to a decider.

"They're probably feeling a lot of pressure at the moment, they're facing four years of series loss in a row," he said.

"But I think they've got the right people up there to win this game but hopefully I'll be all right for the third State of Origin in Melbourne."

Mogg!! I didn't expect that, Mogg is a good player and i hope he plays well for QLD.

[Flanker/5-8]

Way to go, Moggy!

I haven't seen him play much this season, but he carved the Rabbits up from dummy half, and he's got pace for being quite a big boy.

... spose its better Mogg then Wesser :)!

[Titanium_BD1103]

Mogg is a good choice... he is big and can contest against Grothe and Gasnier who are also big players and he is also agile... good choice by QLD... :)

[DeeGan]

Interesting choice indeed.

Best of luck to Mogg who I had no idea was a Queenslander. I would of went Wesser though will back the move here from the selectors.

[Super Cronk]

I was joking with a mate today and he siad wouldnt it be funny if Mogg got a run......we thought it was bloody funny, but it came true!

Havent seen enough of him this year but will be intrested to see how he goes at SOO level.

[Dakink]

Like Cronk I havent really seen enough of him to comment, but fantastic news for him.

There are others perhaps better credentialled, but good to see them using a specialist there instead of a converted fullback.

[Teegy]

Good on him. he a good player IMO and will do the job needed

[Chaos]

Who is he up against...Matt King or Eric Grothe?

[Gonzalez]

I must say, i was suprised that he was chosen. I would have expected others to be chosen before him.

[Steelers]

Another Sunshine Coast boy makes it to the representative stage :D Good on ya mate, have a blinder next Wednesday!

[Eel 33]

Well that selection came from no where. Better off putting someone who has a better grasp of the position than trying to convert another fullback. Wesser would've been run over by the bigger NSW outside backs. Do your best Mogg.

[Manly Boy]

Mogg has been playing well this season for the raiders and he deserves a go...
