The South Sydney Rabbitohs announce former captain Greg Inglis has been admitted to a facility to assist his mental health.

"Rugby league is a great way to make some changes in society and Greg has been able to do that as a rugby league player, with his attitude," Campbell said.

"If you've got a profile in the game it gives you a platform to talk about things that are really important to you, and there's a lot of pressing issues in our communities, not just Indigenous communities, all of Australia. "The legacy [Inglis] is going to have going into his after-footy career, I think he could make plenty of change in community — not just for the Indigenous people, but for the whole of Australia, but he needs to be ready for that.

Campbell, who founded the Preston Campbell Foundation to provide mentoring and programs to Indigenous people, said Inglis's standing in the game gave him the platform to effect significant change."He's going to have to remember again that there are so many people out there who want him to be successful.

Must be the first rugby player with a brain

We are all flawed in some way. I hope he gets the help he needs.

I hope he gets all the help he needs to make a full recovery. He was a champion on the football field, and an inspiration to many kids out there. He still has so much good work to do ahead of him.
