Inglis checked in 10 days ago after struggling with family issues.

The Australian and Queensland Origin representative suffered a season-ending knee injury in the opening round of the season and his wife Sally recently moved out of their family home.

She has headed back to Brisbane to be closer to family.

Inglis was forced to remain in the NSW capital for rehabilitation treatment and an assistant coaching role at the Rabbitohs.

“I spoke to Greg (last night),” Hodges told NewsCorp.

“Greg knew it wouldn’t be kept a secret.

“He’s a bit down that it’s out there, he didn’t want everyone knowing, but it was always going to come out ­because he’s a high-profile person.

“I won’t go into exact details but it’s a bit of everything. He feels lost.

“It’s a bit of footy, it’s his injury and some personal stuff.

“He’s never been in this position, it can be scary to be out with a long-term injury and there’s a lot of expectation on him.

“This is part of his healing process. It’s out there now. He’s an icon of our game and the most important thing is he knows he has great friends and a great family who love him and we’re all there to help.”

“I’m very close to Greg. I know what he is going through.

“The best thing about it is he’s acknowledging he is going through some dramas and these are the issues that face high-profile people. He is 30 years of age now and you question whether you will be the same player.

“You feel you are letting people down and you ask if you will be able to play again.

“Greg never had to worry about that type of stuff before, a lot of things can impact on players and sometimes it takes one big injury for things to come crashing down.

“The important thing is that the game rallies around him and supports him 100 per cent.”
