Anthony Seibold doesn't think Greg Inglis will be joining the coaching merry-go-round soon.
But as far as taking a clipboard to show the kids a thing or two, the South Sydney coach believes his skipper has some promise once his career is over.
And Seibold would know, having put Inglis to work in the coach's box while he recovered from a broken hand for the past two months.
"We had him doing a specific role there. He was looking at the opposition attacking playmakers. We had him looking at our back five as well," Seibold said on Friday.
"Greg's like having another coach. Halftime he got around to some of the guys, particularly in the positions that he's very experienced in at fullback and the outside backs."
While Seibold was certainly impressed with Inglis' input, he doubted the Kangaroos star would enjoy the current circus that is the world of being a first grade coach.
"I think he'd be great as a positional coach. I'm not sure whether Greggy would like to dig through all the amount of video though. Probably doesn't have the patience for that," he said.
Instead Seibold will have to make do with Inglis' contributions on the field, where he will add some major spark for a side that has lost back-to-back games for the first time since March.
Fullback Alex Johnston (hamstring) and winger Campbell Graham (wrist) also return, but it's the addition of Inglis that will ensure the Rabbitohs bounce back into form against Canberra.
"He's hit the ground running this week at training and we're looking forward to welcoming back our captain. He's been out for six or seven games now," Seibold said.
"To have him back on the park is a big in for us."
With the Rabbitohs third but equal on points with ladder leaders Melbourne and second-placed Sydney Roosters, a win over the Raiders keeps them in the hunt for the minor premiership.
But a loss would leave them vulnerable to losing their spot in the top four heading into the final game of the regular season next week.
Seibold also confirmed utility Braidon Burns has been ruled out with a glute injury and replaced by Tyrell Fuimaono on the bench.
STATS THAT MATTER
* The Raiders had won eight of 10 against the Rabbitohs at GIO Stadium between 1990-2008 but have lost the past three in the match-up.
* Since 2011, the team winning in all 10 matches between these two teams has scored at least 30 points.
* Greg Inglis' 18 tries from 18 games against the Raiders is his most against any club.
* A win for Ricky Stuart would give him 16 wins against the Rabbitohs - his equal most wins against any opponent.
