Hall of Fame nominations

[LeagueXIII]

Really happy to see Lyons(as pure a footballer as you will see), Stuart(so influential in club & rep footy) & Graham(a giant for NZ)inducted.

As they did with Meninga, no mention of Mark Graham's career in Brisbane. He was a key member of Brisbane Norths 1980 premiership win, a cinderella story. Club's first win since 1969. Also the near miss of the 1985 series against Australia for the Kiwis.

hard to pick one over a few of those, a bloke that managed to stay at a high level over different eras with the game changing as well as having a record that will probably never be broken to his name sounds like the right type of name to add so i'd go with beaver

Alexander unlucky to miss out.

Panthers do get a player in there in Civoniceva. He was probably the only good thing Elliott did for Penrith. He definitely deserves recognition he was like cement on legs.

He wouldn't have been nominated for anything he did at Penrith. He's not fondly remembered by the club's supporters, not considered a good signing considering the coin he was on, and whether people like McKendry and Grant benefited all that much from playing alongside him is debatable. Finally, he destabilised the playing group in his final days at the club, which had flow on effects with players like Lewis and Jennings.

He was a champion at the Broncos and for Queensland and Australia and deserves his nomination for that, but he should have stayed at Brisbane.

It was salary cap drama that forced Petero out of the Broncos from memory

Worst signing in my 20 years being a fan of the club. We gave a prop rep halfback money and then played Luke Lewis at 7

I’m not talking about the coin he was on or other selections that to me was on the coaching and front office that nearly killed the club. Not his fault Lewis played 7. He was clearly overpaid as he was basically pushed out of the Broncos. But guys like Luke Lewis attribute a lot to him.

So what happens to the 19 players that missed out can they be nominated again?
I read about the 3 strikes rule for the Immortals is it the same for the Hall of fame nominees?

I don't think so. The NRL and the RLPA looked at the NFL Hall of Fame as their model, and in the NFL you can be considered multiple times before being voted into the Hall of Fame. I mean how would it look (for example) if say Brett Kenny was inducted but Peter Sterling had missed out and could not be considered again as he's been previously considered "x" number of times?

The only limitations are on nominees to be an Immortal and they must firstly already be in the Hall of Fame and then can only be considered a maximum of three times. This is designed to make it a very exclusive club.

The NRL should have a Hall of Fame.......

Mark Graham was a great player, however if he is in surely Mal Reilly should also be.

Do the judges memories only go back to the 80's.

He should be in ahead of Petero, Tallis or Menzies.

Well said. Their knowledge is woeful it would seem.
