South Sydney superstar Greg Inglis rates Sunday’s grand final as one of the biggest games of his storied NRL career.

The 2014 decider against Canterbury will be Inglis’ fourth, having won the 2007 and 2009 premierships with Melbourne before they were stripped for salary cap breaches.

He was also a part of Queensland’s State of Origin squad in each of their eight straight series victories and has 29 Test caps to his name for Australia.

Asked on Monday where this year’s showdown at ANZ Stadium ranked, Inglis said it was “definitely up there”.

“I think it will be one of the biggest games I’ve come into,” he said.

“The buildup towards it, there’s no question about it.

“Leading into the this week and playing this grand final means a lot to me.

“And it means a lot to the community.

“Seeing the fans travel from afar and come here to watch us train throughout the year really means a lot to us as players.”

The 27-year-old, who still holds close the memories of his grand final victories with the Storm, said he was feeding off the excitement from his younger teammates experiencing it for the first time.

“Coming into training the young boys are happy, buzzing around – which is really good to see because it helps me sit back and relax as well,” he said.

“I’m just having a relaxed approach and really enjoy the week.”

The gun fullback allayed any fears that his hip was still troubling him after suffering a knock in their last match of the regular season against the Sydney Roosters.

“The body’s feeling fine,” he said.

“This is the best shape I’ve been in for a long time. I’m holding up fine and I think having that week off really paid off.”
