NRL Hall of Fame 2024 + 14th Immortal

[Chins get the wins]

The judges are going to consider things like Rep career and individual awards and Maloney doesn't stack up in that department.

2 bums who couldn't tackle

Anyone who has JT ahead of Langer is watching a different sport than I am

Does it matter? Cronk was a much better half than either of them. And I don’t hear anyone calling for him to be an immortal.

 

[Apey]

Cronk>Thurston.

I'd take Cronk in a heartbeat over Thurston to slot into the current Knights team, but I guess it kind of depends what your team needs.

Cronk was more reliable and could control a game better but Thurston could create points easier.

Thurston the ideal 6 then.

Surprised people aren't calling for Ribot?

Which 4 or more legitate premiership winners are not in the Hall of Fame?

Those guys should be added next

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

Immortal is abit of a joke after the last intake.. Mal a immortal? C'mon now.. that's not the best of the best

They are going to ruin that concept by just adding everyone. It should just be 2 from each era maximum.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

It's a flawed concept fullstop

 

[siv]

It's a flawed concept fullstop

There are 2 concepts here

Hall of Fame which looks to have good mix, but needs to address a few gaps caused by trying to pick 100 players in 100 years

Its the immortals concept that is where the issue lies

 

[Chins get the wins]

It's a perfect concept in comparison to how the Dally M is voted on.....

 

[The Mad Hatter]

The Immortal concept has been flawed since 1981, and was for a magazine to sell port.

Hall of Fame should be the ultimate and only thing imho.

It’s ridiculous and now we’re stuck with a system that takes a bit shine off hall of fame honours. Maybe the immortal tag should be awarded posthumously?

It’s something we’re stuck with now.

But I’d rather go in to a museum and read about each club, and all their players and appreciate their efforts and contributions, and gawk at memorabilia, ephemera and playing gear… then walk in to a Hall of Fame that commends the best of the best.

Raper, Coote, Price, Pearce, Clyde…

Billy Smith, Tommy, Sterlo, Turvey, Stuart, Langer, Johns, Kimmorley, Thurston, Cronk…

A full on proper museum with everything covered from 1908 to now and a HOF.

But that’s just me.

Legend has it that when the Winfield Cup came to Penrith in 1991 it was used as a doorstopper in the Panthers HQ.

I like the museum idea. I'd take it out of the clubs hands. Be it the SCG (If we don't have it already) or SFS.

The MCG in Melbourne does a pretty decent job. When I visited 10 or so years ago it was pretty good.

I guess they could start by re openning the NRL Muesum to the public

 

[Captain Apollo]

I saw a report in the SMH this morning (https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/le...caster-david-morrow-dies-20240717-p5jug8.html) that said David Morrow was informed prior to his death that he would be one of the "contributor" inductees to the NRL Hall of Fame in this intake.

I know it sounds silly to be bestow the immortal tag to someone after they die but it’s no sillier than awarding it to someone who will eventually die anyway, yeh? Their memories and achievements live on. You know- that sought of shit
