Brett Kenny was as good as Bob Fulton and better than Darren Lockyer. He besides Hayne was the most naturally gifted player that has ever played for Parramatta. How not one player from the 80’s generation is not an immortal is a travesty.

Wally Lewis and Mal Meninga played in the 80s.

They are all in the Hall of Fame, just not immortals.

Which is a travesty. Many judges back in the 80's would write articles and on TV back then, had the opinion that Kenny and Sterlo were each the best that they had ever seen play in their respective positions to that point in time. Yet neither of them are good enough to be considered immortals. while there are two 5/8ths that came before Kenny or played along side him. What a joke.

Not saying that Johns for example shouldn't be an immortal either, but if Sterlo was considered to be the best of all the halfback that had ever played the game up until that time, surely considering the position that he also plays would make him an instant choice, but I get why Johns gazumped him?

But Kenny is still the most egregious, considering I have yet to see a better all round pivot then him at his best, especially in the biggest arenas.

I’m talking about Parra players. Also Meninga should not be an immortal. Lucky to be in the Hall of Fame.


Meninga and Provan cheapened it for me. Neither deserve their place over players like Kenny or even Price if you are sticking Provan in there for ffs!

Provan was a quality leader and club man who had longevity that gave his all, but was surrounded by a team of legends and was never the standout front rower of his generation or any generation for that matter.

Wonder what spin ricky360 will have tonight from his best buds crawley and kent.

George williams has left the country. It seems Canberra are sinking further down the hole.

Canberra's immediate release of English half George Williams after his position at the club "became untenable" leaves the Raiders with a healthy halfback cache that could turn the player market on its head.

Williams has been granted a compassionate grounds release from the final 18 months of his Raiders contract, which is believed to be worth around $600,000 a season.

The immortals shit is either a crock of shit they should do away with, or a crock of shit they should open up for better management


Never was a fan of the concept

The Hall of fame is enough

In the modern age, they should announce 40--50 hall of fame players after each decade and be done with it.
