Amid decisions of his own pending retirement, NRL star Greg Inglis called Ray Hadley to check on his welfare.

The 32-year-old announced his immediate retirement from Rugby League on Monday, after years of crippling injuries.

But Ray Hadley reveals Inglis called him recently to check up on him as he battled his own personal challenges.

“In the middle of all the other drama in his life, he took a few minutes out of his time to see if I was okay and to see if my family were okay.

“I have enormous respect for him as a human being and as a man.”

Inglis and Ray have built a mateship over the past year, with the former NRL star speaking candidly about his mental health issues.
