NRL Hall of Fame 2024 + 14th Immortal

So the game has given him something.

Still mooching off the teat of the greatest game of all. Should have been banned from any official position when you spouted that shit all those years ago.

I still remember watching Renouf score that winning try at Wembley. Well deserved HOF.

Smith as an immortal is a matter of when. Greatest player I've seen in my life time.

Is Brad Clyde really on that level? Genuine question. Didn’t he have some great years to begin with and then injury stopped him from becoming an all time great?

Fair call. He was as good as it gets early on, always taking ruck after the kick return and so many lb and lba with his late step at the line. A wonderful player but probably not an Immortal.

No wonder they aren’t successful, throwing money at Meninga to do nothing.
I heard him speak at a function before one of the Titans games and he was asked what he had been doing as part of his role. Pretty sure it was round 1 of 2019. He was saying how he had implemented some catch phrase AIM or some other acronym.
The Titans got absolutely smashed that day and ended up with the spoon for the year, yet the big fella managed another 4 or 5 years of getting paid.

One of the all time clichés from Billy.
I don’t remember choosing this game, this game chose me.

Have you heard him commentate, absolutely struggles to string a coherent sentence together. Outside his playing career, they guy is a fraud.

We're still Queenslanders.
We've just got to get our footy on.

Mammoth day for the Norths Devils

I just noticed it only has 2014 premiership winner for GI. Did they leave out the over the cap years for the other Storm players as well?

Just turned it on and saw Voss. Off it goes.

You little Ron Coote

Immortal in Rugby League and rhyming slang.

It’s become The Ray Hadley Show.
Did we really need him telling us how he did a good deed?

 

[MRN]

Oh shit, that's right the chicks still to come.

Thanks Raaayy

Yep, Ron Coote announced as the 14th Immortal.

I may not like Cameron Smith, but it would have been farcical if he'd been named an Immortal this time after just entering the Hall of Fame at the same induction.

Freddy was great but he's not an immortal imo. Lost 3 out of 4 grand finals with the Roosters, went missing in some origin series' where NSW were heavily favoured to win (1995, 2001). Never won Dally M player of the year although he was robbed of the CC medal in 2002.

For the record I don't believe Daley is immortal status either as much as i love him as a player. I would probably have Lockyer over both of them despite his defensive weaknesses.

To be fair to Fittler in 95 it’s impossible to focus when you’re in court and the coach isn’t even there and is fighting the biggest media company in the world. I remember his story the night before game 3 that him and the chief were in their hotel and the rest of the team were just f**king around on the pokies all night. Right at that moment they knew they were done.

Congrats Ron Coote well deserved
