While Les Boyd was quite the player, I’m not so sure about that one…

 

[Beavers Headgear]

He is well before my time, Darryl Brohman has blown up about it though

 

[JJ]

Yeah, that’s understandable… the shit he did was disgraceful in that era…

[JJ]

You'd have thought Boyd might have matured, but nope...

Brohman remains bitter, which is sad but understandable - but the decision to put Boyd in there isn't really understandable imo

 

[JJ]

Someone in the main thread mentioned Hugh McGahan as a possibility, interesting, certainly a premier lock at one point...

Lindner and Sironen are staggering omissions imo espcially with Boyd there now, Gary Larson too

I wouldn’t mind seeing Lazarus go in. Coote, Irvine, Kenny and Sterling a bit before my time. I don’t see Langer as an immortal at all, think Daley and Clyde fall a bit short. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear Lockyer called out tonight

 

[Meth]

I would probably go Brett Kenny or Peter Sterling, but I understand the call for Cameron Smith. It’s a matter of when, not if

Ken Irvine the oldest there by far. Was he a player that was just on the end of the line scoring tries that others had created?
Obviously in the hall of fame for being a great winger.

think he was a champion sprinter that came across, and if you gave him 5cm to work in it was game over
