Greg Inglis has sounded an ominous warning to NSW by claiming he is in the best form of his life less than a month from the State of Origin opener on June 5.

The South Sydney fullback was almost unplayable on Friday as he chalked up four tries in his side's 54-10 demolition of Wests Tigers to help the Rabbitohs maintain their lead at the top of the NRL ladder.

It was the first time the Queensland superstar had scored four times in a game and the 26-year-old credited the Souths coaching staff for helping him to add consistency to his array of talents.

"I've not played this well week in week out in my career," Inglis said.

"Early in my career my form was a bit like a roller coaster, up and down.

"This year I have been consistent ... and that goes across the whole footy club

"But we are all going good and the coaching staff deserves all the credit."

Inglis has never won the Dally M Medal and is now the favourite to scoop the award after helping Souths to their best start to a season since 1971 - the year of their last premiership.

Although he admits his form is better than at any time during his spell at Melbourne, he said it's too early to start comparing this Souths team to the ones built by Craig Bellamy.

"I did play in some very good teams in Melbourne, and we have the same mentality and attitude here," he said.

"People will compare the sides all they want, but both have a different calibre of player.

"But we don't worry about Melbourne, we are South Sydney and we are going week by week."
