No doubt a great player. But his off field antics should have been considered. But hey,I guess it's all good as it paves the way for Fittler to eventually get the nod.

(BTW,I'm still steaming that Paul Cariage didn't get a blazer)
What off field antics? Popping a few pills? How many men haven't taken a few party drugs. Crime of the Century right there.

That'd rule Lockyer out too btw. And well, 99% of league players. Let's rule out JT for Coffs Harbour. And Smith & Slater for cheating the cap (they didn't know lololol).

The only Immortal left for candidacy will be Jesus by the time we're done.

Cmon Tommy, he may have won 2 Dally M’s but Hayne has been too inconsistent.

Well, some of the stories I've heard about the originals...

Na, he won’t qualify. He let the other 12 players down by hanging out with the wrong crowd

It was Raper who wrote it and said it to him in person. He got a rousing cheer for it as well.
I thought it was signed by the immortals/Kangaroo captains but I could be wrong. Reg Gasnier use to brush SmellmeFinger at functions back in the day, and rightly so. Lucky for Mal they don't take into account a players character off the field.

Long overdue for Mal.

The most decorated RL identity ever. Combine his playing career with his QLD and Aus coaching career and find me a player with more credentials than him. He's the real GOAT

Greenberg didn't know anything about rugby league before he got a gig with ANZ Stadium.

Needed to mention more of his time with the South Brisbane Magpies.

Great leader of men. Possibly better leader than player.

Raper smashed a journalist’s car, streaked in England, had bar fights, brushes with the law and turned up stone drunk to play test matches. Should he be excluded to? Didn’t Lewis spit on a referee or player once and fought with administrators within the game.

If we dumped anyone who did something wrong just once there would hardly be anyone left.

Wally never spat at a ref. He spat on Gold Coast Giant forward Jim Cowell during a local derby at Lang Park. Crazy Jim was one of those players who needed to be spat on now and then. Geno got stuck into him in a Wynnum-Manly v Redcliffe game a few years earlier.
