titans.com.au is buzzing with the news of the prestigious Preston Campbell Medal being awarded after the 2023 Harvey Norman All Stars game in Rotorua.

The honor of presenting this coveted award fell to none other than the legendary Greg Inglis, who, despite his own impressive rugby league career, felt the weight of the occasion and had to seek some words of encouragement from his dear old mum.

Even for a seasoned player with 263 NRL games under his belt and numerous state and national team appearances, handing out a medal was no walk in the park for Inglis.

He understood the significance of the award and the legacy of the man it was named after, and he was determined to make his mate proud.

The list of previous winners, including the likes of Johnathan Thurston, James Fisher-Harris, Joseph Tapine, Brandon Smith, and Nicho Hynes, showcases the growing prestige of the Preston Campbell Medal.

Each recipient has added another chapter to the history of this esteemed award, further solidifying its place in rugby league folklore.
