Hall of Fame and Immortals

[King hit]

Those immortals were light years ahead of Amphetamine Johns. The bloke admitted to playing whilst on drugs, it’s a joke the merkin was there in the first place.

Drugs that’s why. He’s a cheat

 

[Jimmy Clark]

Why wasn’t Duncan Hall included as well? It’s a f**ken media hype up joke.

Your drug obsession

 

[kdalymc]

Lewis is a bit of an outlier in that his immortal status was more fir what he did at state and test level.

Clearly. It’s been stated many times when he finally made first grade he sucked

You clearly dont get social drugs. Ecstacy makes u play better? Ok...

 

[Pedge1971]

He is a junkie. But great front rower.

Tbh I would have given him one ahead of a few chosen.

Was one tough merkin.

Btw best speech of the night, Cliffy Lyons by a mile.

Bloke was so humbled and nervous but honest and sincere about the moment. I loved it and him!

2nd vote: surprised but Tallis. Much more media savvy but respect he gave to grassroots and where the game springs from I liked. He got quite emotional and that was good.

3rd: Petero with an honourable mention to Mark Graham. Both great humble RL men...

Hard to follow those acts.

The immortal stuff was interesting but so much less to appreciate imo.

Mal was a legend and deserves his immortal status. But what a self serving, condascending, hypocrytical, selfish prick with that speech.

"What has rl ever done for me?"

Vs I owe everything to rl..

Thank God Provan got in because Buzz got banned. Otherwise f**king Lockyer would have been wanked in.

Main Point: Greenberg inserted himself in a place where he should never have been allowed and the whole concept was polluted as a result...

Any links to males speech/ the OG statement about that?

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.

Jesus liked getting on the piss with the best of them.

He was such an alcoholic he bled red wine FFS

 

[Canard]

Great announcement, and great that the Immortals concept, unique to our code, is now part of the official Hall of Fame.

All more then worthy inductees.

Be good to see some of the legends of the BRL recognised in the next round.

 

[Spot On]

The NRL finally got something right .... well done.

Now to fix the game of Rugby League and the absolutely horrible officiating that ruins games every w/e.

Good luck Toddy.

 

[Jimmy Clark]

The only thing they got wrong with the immortal concept was Andrew Johns being selected before so many better players.

 

[Haffa]

Better. Lol

 

[Jimmy Clark]

Better. Lol

Brad Fitler, Alan Langer, Darren Lockyer...the list is endless. Nobody remembers Johns for his footy, he’s remembered as a drug addict.

 

[Vee]

So to sum it up the new Immortals inducted tonight:

- Dally Messenger;
- Frank Burge;
- Dave Brown;
- Norm Provan; and
- Mal Meninga.

Seems Bevan's tryscoring doesn't count because it was in England .

 

[Vee]

And Congrats to Provan btw on his long overdue selection. Having no Provan would be like a basketball HoF having no Bill Russell.

Agreed.

 

[Das Gupta]

Very happy last night got some of the pre war older players in and Norm Provan.

 

[Vee]

Didn’t Lewis spit on a referee or player once and fought with administrators within the game.

Haven't heard of the spitting and fighting with the dumbasses that hold RL back should be considered a badge of honour. Or is that only since the NRL was formed?
