Jenna Brooks has the latest from the NRL - could Kevin Walters job as Queensland coach be under threat?

Origin Talk

Reports in Australia suggest Kevin Walters will be stood down as Queensland Origin coach if the Maroons lose the series, with England coach Wayne Bennett favourite to replace him.

Walters led Queensland to a 2-1 series win last year in his first season in charge.

Bennett, who has coached Queensland in seven series, will lead England in this year's World Cup, but it's understood he will walk away from the job if he is given the top job with the Maroons.

The speculation began after Inglis was admitted into a mental health facility last month, but the 30-year old dismissed the rumours via a video to Rabbitohs members.

"The rumours about the Brisbane Broncos are certainly not true." Inglis said, "I'm here as a Rabbitoh, I'm here for another four years and I'm willing to give it everything I can for this club.

"Proud to be the captain of the club, and proud to be around this club."

Inglis, who rejoined the club last week after his time in the facility, also took the opportunity to thank fans for their support during the difficult time.

"I wanted to say a big thank you for all your kind messages and support that you have shown me, but not only me my family as well through this tough time that I've gone through."
