Inglis yet to encounter challenge of playing against Cronk in NRL Preliminary final

South Sydney Rabbitohs skipper Greg Inglis is yet to encounter the challenge of playing against former teammates Cooper Cronk in the NRL Preliminary final this weekend.

Inglis and Cronk played in four grand finals together at Melbourne Storm, won two of them (2007, 2009), and played in the halves together in two of those matches.

On Saturday night, each will be trying to keep the other out of next Sunday's NRL Premiership grand final.

The preliminary final between the Rabbitohs and Roosters has many storylines and the friendship formed between 31‑year‑old Inglis and 34‑year‑old Cronk in Storm, Queensland and Australian sides, is one line that extends the longest and deepest.

Meanwhile, the Rabbitohs skipper says that he thinks the danger‑men in the Roosters line‑up are the No.6 Luke Keary and No.1 James Tedesco.

The Rabbitohs will play the Roosters at 9.40pm Saturday in the second NRL Preliminary Final while the Storm will play the Sharks at 9.40pm Friday in the first Preliminary Final.
