Price, definitely. Kenny, probably. Cronin, close. But if Meninga can be an immortal, I guess anyone can.

Meninga played about a hundred Origins ffs

 

[Eelementary]

Kenny was certainly in the conversation last time

He really should be - played centre? Dominated. Played 5/8? Dominated. Premierships? Yeah, he won 4.

One of the genuine GOATs of this sport, imo.

2 trys in each consecutive grand final win 81, 82, 83. 2 disallowed trys in 86 gf.

Not that you would have watched any of them of course.... Just reviewed the stats after the event and come to the conclusion Cameron Munster outjumped Tedesco to score a try lolz....

I watched most of Meninga’s Origins and no I don’t remember a f**king thing. But I don’t need to watch a bloke play every game to know how many Origins he played in or how many tries he scored. That’s what stats are for.

Wow, Pou must be an S&M troll, he keeps coming back for more of the same punishment.

Nothing spells hiatus like the last few pages of Pou tripe... but he's too daft to realise it's time to rest on his (prior) reputation and have a break.

I'm bewildered that merkins would think it's some kind of flex to remember obscure details from Origin matches. No wonder you merkins have no idea about footy when your opinions are all based on 'iconic moments'. It's why you lol@Penrith for signing Blaize Talagi while in the same breath you're pushing Dylan Edwards as the next immortal.

Andy Harper threw us under the bus. Merkin.

Actually watching games and having the ability to recall passages of play from them to validate or articulate a point = a flex

Not watching games but instead obsessing over stats like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man and then Rubbishing other posters and referring to them as deadshits = not a flex

Got it....

Being broadcast on paramount there would've been about 7000 ppl max watching and you usually tune out when Harper talks anyway...
I'm a football (soccer) fan but A-league is just a no...broadcast on paramount, terrible crowds and div3 players with Spanish surnames flown in from OS as marquee players...it's gone from bad to worse

Oh dear, another poor response. With an attempted "buzz word" that isn't catching on, and the trademarked attempted tangential diversion as well....

A hundred and one, actually. And he was named an immortal. But was he better than Price or Kenny? That's the real question.

Not better than either, imo.

I think with this "immortals" caper, sadly I think it's more a case of who you know (who is of influence in the nominations) etc, than what you achieved in your career - statistically or otherwise.
