4. Greg Inglis – South Sydney Rabbitohs

$800,000 until 2017

It takes a special kind of player to go from being the best centre in the world to arguably the best fullback in the world, but that is what Greg Inglis has done in the past  two years.

After signing with the Rabbitohs after being forced out of the Melbourne Storm in the aftermath of their salary cap scandal, Inglis has barely slowed down.

Standing 195cm and tipping the scales at 106kg, Inglis is one of the most powerful ball runners in the game, even when compared to forwards.

His star power has also been on show during Queensland’s amazing run in the State of Origin and, if fit, Inglis is always one of the first names picked for the Australian Kangaroos, with the 27-year-old starring for his country at the World Cup late last year.
