Outgunned Brisbane Broncos cop Greg Inglis lesson South Sydney sent another warning to their NRL rivals with an aggressive 26-12 win over Brisbane. Souths fullback Greg Inglis charges through the Brisbane defence in a man-of-the-match display at Suncorp Stadium last night. EIGHT minutes' work from Greg Inglis was all South Sydney needed to silence a huge Suncorp Stadium crowd. Usually at this Queensland venue the fans scream themselves hoarse cheering for Inglis as he dazzles in maroon. But some of the things he can do with a football leaves people gobsmacked no matter which side of the border they reside. And he helped his team pile on 18 unanswered points early in the second half last night. His Test and Origin teammate, Broncos captain Sam Thaiday, rates Inglis the best player in the game on form. There are some freakish No 1s that play in our competition but he's playing some fantastic footy. He's really found a home at fullback. The more he gets his hands on the footy you can see what he can do to you," Thaiday said. Perhaps the Broncos' fans were just gritting their teeth, envious that Souths picked up Inglis in late 2011 when the former Melbourne Storm centre had shaken hands on a deal with the Broncos. Souths stand-in skipper John Sutton is certainly glad to see Inglis out the back. He's freakish and does it every game. His returns really get us going. The boys feed off his energy," Sutton said. I'm glad I play next to him every week. Inglis scored his fifth try in five matches just after half-time last night through sheer speed and strength, barging on to a pass from two metres out. Then a few minutes later he snatched a grubber kick from Scott Prince near his own line and broke through tacklers before offloading to Bryson Goodwin. The centre raced 60m and, from the next play, Nathan Merritt scored down the blind side, slipping through a Prince tackle. When Sutton added a try, Souths had reversed their fortunes. They trailed 12-8 at halftime but strode to a 26-12 lead. Brisbane hung on but when Matt Gillett was denied a try for an obstruction on Isaac Luke it stopped the Broncos from making it four wins in a row. For the Rabbitohs, not only was it their seventh win in eight rounds, it kept a perfect away record of six from six. "Pretty disappointing, that second half," Gillett said. Two quick tries straight away and we had backs against the wall. We fought hard in a pretty tough match but they were too good. The boys are buggered, but we'll bounce back. Coach Anthony Griffin didn't want to talk too much about the eight-minute burst by Souths. It was brief, but it was enough. We had poor defence through the middle when we weathered the pressure earlier," Griffin said. We kept trying to get back into the game but they were too good. And Inglis made us pay there a few times. They are a great side, particularly with him at the back. They can roll forward and be patient and it doesn't matter where he receives the ball, he's just very hard to handle. The Broncos were down on two of their key personnel, centre Justin Hodges (groin) and prop Josh McGuire (calf), who failed fitness tests on the eve of the match. They are still a good team and throw the ball around a lot. They ask a lot of questions," said Souths coach Michael Maguire. His task is to keep the South Sydney machine rolling along. "It's part of the environment now," Maguire said. There's a long way to go yet, a lot of footy. And we've got a whole Origin series to go through. Thaiday thinks his club has got to go through a bit more pain in training before it emerges as a more consistent side. We got found out tonight. We didn't match them at all in the middle," Thaiday said. We let them roll through us. We need to get a bit of mongrel in us and really fight to win games.
