Hall of Fame and Immortals

[Vee]

It might have been mentioned earlier but is there going to be Hall of Fame inductees every year? have they set a time period for the next Immortal after this group?

Up to 2 every two years from now on.

Shouldn't the judging panel be made up of old league historians and journos who have seen decades of the game, such as Ian Heads.

Why have we got Crawley, Johns, Greenberg, and Gould judging this FFS.

 

[Disinterested third party]

Heads and Fulton you would keep. The rest on the judging panel aren't worth a pinch of crap.

f**king lol I just saw that Todd Greenberg is on the voting panel for the next Immortal.

While we're at it let's put Peter Beattie on the panel. He'd probably vote for Lionel Messi or Pat Rafter.

Exactly. The irony of Greenberg booting Buzz and Jones and inserting himself. Full genius and incredible hypocrisy.

David Middleton should be there somewhere and some others who at least saw the game in other eras.....

f**king Greenburg...

 

[Pedge1971]

That's quite the rage post.

I think it's important that any Hall of Fame recognises the massive contribution Queensland League (and notably the BRL) had on the development of the game.

I'm not claiming this panel won't or it's a conspiracy, but a bit more of a diverse mix couldn't hurt.

While we're at it let's not forget the contribution of the Newcastle RL (real NRL) ffs.

Graeme Hardes should be on the voting panel if still in 1 piece and of sound mind. If not, Henny Penny would do a solid job.

 

[Pedge1971]

i'm expecting them to induct either Mal or Lockyer to keep the two headed inbreds happy, especially after their humiliation in SOO this year. Provan or DallyM to be the other inductee

If Billy Slater isnt inducted the voting is rigged.

It's a conspiracy!

Yes what a great judge of a footy player Fulton has shown himself to be, especially in his role as NSW selector.

Bozo will want Dylan Walker nominated soon.

The way this bloke goes on about Provan, has anyone thought to ask him why he didn’t select him in the original immortal list in the first place?

Dylan will have to get in line behind Jamie Buhrer thank you very much

A bit like JT's hystrionic accusation?

That's quiet a goode attempt at speling that word.

Yes - well he will pick his NSW favs. But that is like the rest of them.

Fulton's knowledge of past players goes back to the 50s - which is a damn sight better than most of them on the panel.

Steve Ricketts and possibly Mascord would have been better tips for inclusion than the likes of Crawley...

Big Mal eh ?
What has the game ever done for him ?

It’s the main reason why I don’t want him named

 

[roostersrule2]

I thought they were only picking 2?

They’ve already picked 3 lol

 

[Captain Apollo]

Ok, so looks like there will be 5 Immortals named tonight. They have announced 3 already - Dally Messenger, Frank Burge and Dave Brown. Read the following article if you want to know why they decided to do this.

So there are 2 more to come from the remaining 7 nominees.

I think you'll find Heads is on the panel. Gus has seen decades of the game. He was a club captain 40 years ago. The others, the less said the better, especially Greenberg.

 

[_snafu_]

Did Wayne coach Provan?

 

[King hit]

Why are they naming 5
