South Sydney skipper Greg Inglis (pictured) will captain the Prime Ministers XVIII in the annual fixture against Papua New Guinea on September 24.
While the rest of the squad will be announced mid September, the selection of the Dhungutti man shows just how serious coach Mal Meninga is taking the match.
A relieved Inglis, speaking after the Rabbitohs much needed win over Newcastle, says it’s a great honour for him but his focus for now remains on the Rabbitohs remaining match against the Bulldogs on Friday night.
