Four Nations 2014: Greg Inglis rated as good as Immortal Reg Gasnier by Kangaroos Test selector Greg Inglis has been rated as good as Immortal Reg Gasnier by Australian Test selectors. AUSTRALIA hierarchy have given Greg Inglis the ultimate accolade ahead of the Four Nations final, rating him as good as Dragons icon Reg Gasnier. Test selection boss Des Morris, a former Queensland forward whose links with the code span almost 60 years, described Inglis as a modern-day replica of the brilliant Gasnier. Gasnier, who passed away six months ago, was nicknamed "Puff the Magic Dragon" after scoring 125 tries in 127 club games, plus a further 28 in his eight-year Test career between 1959-67. Now the careers of Gasnier and Inglis are set to intersect on Saturday night, with the Kangaroos ace needing just one four-pointer to equal the Dragons great's tryscoring haul for Australia. Greg Inglis has been rated as good as Immortal Reg Gasnier. Darren Lockyer (35) and Ken Irvine (33) are ahead of the St George legend on Australia's all-time tryscoring list, but Morris believes Inglis will surpass them all. "From my recollections of seeing Gasnier, he had that magic about him and that's what Greg Inglis is like," said Morris, who played 15 games for Queensland as a rangy back-rower between 1969-79. I didn't see much of Reg Gasnier live, but I remember him playing one game for Australia against the French and he was electric that day. I see the same things in Greg. Once he gets into stride, the way he moves is quite unbelievable - he's up there with the best ballrunners I've seen in my time in the game. Inglis terrorised Samoa last Sunday, scoring a double in Australia's 44-18 drubbing, and the Kiwis will discuss ways to nullify the backfield monster in Saturday night's decider at Westpac Stadium. Maroons legend Wally Lewis is widely regarded as Queensland's most influential player, but Morris said Inglis was entering The King's domain in terms of his ability to alter the course of a game. Wally Lewis could take the game by the scruff of the neck and will himself to do things that weren't expected of him. Greg is a different player, but can have that same impact," Morris said. The Kiwis are well aware of the damage Greg Inglis can cause them in the Four Nations final. At the weekend against Samoa, he got more involved than he has for some time at the national level. Every time he got the ball, you were thinking what's he going to do and how can they stop him. "Wally was more physical than "GI," he could be very dominating, but Greg has a similar ability to dominate a game when he's on. He really is the complete athlete ... The Kiwis will have to be on their toes to stop him. Kiwi coach Stephen Kearney said New Zealand would try to devise tactics to shut down Inglis" trademark backfield incursions. "He's a wonderful player," he said. We have some good talent in our group too and our 17 have to get the job done right with and without the footy. Part of it without the footy is minimising Greg's impact on the game.
