Who is the least deserving Immortal?

[Desert Qlder]

Andrew Johns has made the Immortals concept a joke.

mal wasnt even the best player in that canberra side. he's only been inducted to keep the queenslanders happy

 

[ram raid]

Poseidon.

Johns, absolutely. In too early, too much baggage and wouldn't have been half the footy player he was without his brothers footy smarts.

Right. Remind me again of how well the Knights went in 2001, the year after Matt Johns had left the Knights to play for Wigan. Which Johns brother won a GF that year and which one lost one again?

 

[Springs09]

Meninga by a fair bit.

Johns was inducted too early but absolutely deserves his spot. Dominated every level and was the clear best player in the game for nearly 15 years.

Lockyer never deserves to get in.

Fulton was included just a matter of months after retiring. Off field baggage you do know raper was the Todd carney of the 60’s

Norm provan and Meninga for me. The other 10 were the best of their time but Provan and Meninga weren’t and nobody believes they were the best players on any team they were in.

I would not have Mal as an immortal, Gene Miles was a better player.

I would not have Andrew Johns as an immortal. Consistently picked at hooker in reps

 

[_Johnsy]

Mal “what has rugby league done for me” Meninga

100% spot on.

You’ve just shown your complete, comprehensive lack of understanding of rugby league in 2 sentences, well done.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Wally Lewis

Brett Kenny was much better

 

[Lebbo73]

Johns for sure.

Andrew Johns is the obvious choice. Anyone who has to take drugs to deal with the pressure is a drug cheat. Pure and simple. It is a disgrace that he’s an immortal and it diminishes the status of the other immortals.

 

[mozza91]

So much Queensland butt hurt re Johns. Just need to accept that you’ve never, ever produced a footballer of his caliber.

 

[Mr Angry]

Wally Lewis

Brett Kenny was much better

Cannot agree. Wally is a no brainer.

However Kenny >>>>>>> Johns >>> Miles >>> Meninga.

Dally Messenger.

I have yet to meet anyone who saw him play in the flesh.

Kudos to you, this is the best joke post I've seen on LU in quite some time.

Whether Miles was better then Meninga is debatable he isn’t wrong about Meninga being immortal worthy.

Was he ever the best player on any team he played in? Whenever I talk to people about the 80’s they bring up Wally Lewis on the spot every time. Even in club land people say Daley, Stuart and Clyde were ahead of him in that team and in the Brisbane league there were some great players in the Magpies team that are highly rated.

Imo the immortals should be the very best players of that era which the majority agree on. I don’t meet anybody who believes Meninga to be above Lewis. Personally I even think that Sterling or Kenny would be the second best if choosing someone to be behind Lewis for that time. Champion players who’s feats still haven’t been repeated.

As was Laurie Daley.
