The next Immortal- You Nomination and Why

[hobo]

Yeah I would reckon "Be good Johnny" would have been the catch cry for that function.

 

[footycardswaps]

Id go him as well! Always fond of a drink!

So Chook is more Immortal than most, with the amount of drink this super human has put away over the years and is still alive defies logic.

Looking forward to seeing this thread explode sometime tonight!

What time is the announcement?

 

[steven1959]

Tonight on NRL Daily, host John Gibbs takes an inside look at tonight’s announcement of the eighth Immortal at Doltone House in Sydney.

 

[steven1959]

Anyone from here going to the dinner at Dolton House. If so could you post announcement.

 

[ooneil]

You would have to think that the announcement would be broadcast live the footy show tonight.

Announcement due approx 9:15 as per RLW Twitter feed.

Go Joey.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

My money is on Andrew Johns.

 

[jonnov0007]

Go Mal!!

 

[ooneil]

Joey it is.

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Mal will be spewing

 

[ooneil]

7 SOO wins may go some way to consoling him.

 

[KyleP]

Joey was better than Mal, good decision. Mal will end up an Immortal down the track anyway.

 

[thenamesgould]

Definitely the correct decision! Well done Joey, I think every rugby league fan can say it was a pleasure watching him play.

Racism controversy

In June 2010 during the lead-up to Origin II, New South Wales centre Timana Tahu withdrew mid-week from the NSW squad following reports Johns referred to Queensland playerGreg Inglis as a "black cunt" during a training session.[19] Johns was subsequently fired from his role as NSW assistant coach. Though he apologised for the incident on Tuesday 15 June,[20] it is alleged it was not the first time Johns had used racist language in a football environment.[21] Inglis has since demanded Johns be barred from any involvement in rugby league in the future.[22]

Hmmm...

Hmmm...

I'm in no way defending what Joey did there....but you can "hmmm" all you like, hes the 8th immortal. He's the 8th immortal because of his achievements, and his ability on the field, nothing else

 

[KyleP]

Judged on ability on the field and nothing else mate. Should we have taken into account Raper's drinking or Mal's political career? Mal's political career was far more embarrassing and offensive than most things.

 

[hobo]

Most complete player I have seen..........so can't argue, at least he appreciates his fans and will sign auto's for those who ask
