Norm Provan for sure, name me one player who would'nt swap their stats for his? 11 Premierships, and international player a very handy coach to boot.

I never saw Provan or Coote play, so i think Meninga now, Johns in 5 or 6 years then Lockyer something like 5 years after that.

You obviously cant pick everyone, if blokes from previous eras have missed out, imo i think this one needs to be chosen from a more modern era

Give it to the man with more premiership rings than fingers. Norm Provan, easily.

Does Norm only have nine fingers?

He in fact played in 10 of the 11 GFs as he retired at the end of '65. So almost more Premmys than fingers, but not quite. He also played in the 1953 GF which was lost to Souths. So he in fact played in 11.

What a record ay?

Last time I checked us humans have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs so he is indeed correct.

I hope Norman hasn't read this thread.

The immortal concept has to go. Both Lockyer and Johns will be immortals but Fittler and Stuart won't be. Time to make the hall of fame bigger than it is.
