No injury drama for star fullback Greg Inglis say South Sydney Rabbitohs Australia's Greg Inglis avoids being tackled in the rugby league World Cup. GREG Inglis is set to begin training with South Sydney in the New Year, as scheduled, after the superstar was cleared of a serious thumb injury. Rabbitohs fans feared the worst after Inglis was replaced late in Australia's emphatic World Cup win over New Zealand in Manchester two weeks ago, and was later seen leaving Old Trafford with his arm in a sling. But Rabbitohs high-performance manager Troy Thomson said on Tuesday the injury is not as bad as initially thought. ``A bit of a scare there for Rabbitohs fans and us staff ... Greggy got a bit of a whack on his thumb but the Australian medical staff were really good," he told the club website. ``They thought it was some bruising and that settled down pretty quick. ``He saw us at the start of the week to get the all clear and everything looks good. Centre Beau Champion was an another injury concern for Souths but he has now returned to training. ``Champ is coming along really well, we're really happy with how his ankle is at the moment," Thomson said. Interchange prop Jason Clark also suffered an ankle injury at the back end of the 2013 season and is yet to take part in pre-season training. ``Clarkey is a long way off, he's just come out of a boot," Thomson said. ``He's doing a little bit of walking and as much training as he can but that's going to be a slow injury.
