Next HOF / Immortal nominees

[Brendan_B]

To pass time and because I am bored sh**less, I thought I would throw up this thread.

I am sure that toward the end of 2021, we should see some more HOF and Immortal inductees.

Pick one player (from the club you support if possible) for HOF and one player from any club for Immortal. If you want, add in the why.

HOF - Jason Croker. So underrated, 300+ NRL games, 60 in the ESL. Premiership winner in 94, NSW and Australian jerseys.
Dally M lock of the year 2000 and most impressively, played over 60 minutes with a ruptured ACL and strained ankle ligaments in 2001.

Immortal - Brett Kenny. I had a few names in my head but this bloke, wow, what a player! Achieved everything, one of the very few to knock the king from his throne.

Thurston should be put in the Hall of Fame in my opinion.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Jack Rayner Immortal

 

[Brendan_B]

Thurston should be put in the Hall of Fame in my opinion.

Absolutely. Has to be retired 5 years so not eligible for a few more. Not only HOF, he will be an Immortal.

 

[Brendan_B]

Jack Rayner Immortal

Don’t know much about him. I had a quick read, very impressive career and with high accolades from Churchill, would certainly fit.

Agreed, and thanks for the info on the 5 year wait.

I thought it was 3 years for hof and 5 for immortal?

Slater if 3 years, if not Kearney or Bai.
Immortal Lazarus.

My limited understanding of the eligibility / qualification process is that to be an Immortal or at least be nominated, the person has to be a HOF member.

To be HOF as a player, they have to be retired 5 years from professional sports.

I think a player has to be retired for five years before they can enter the HOF and they have to be HOF to be an Immortal.

This precludes many of the recently retired greats (JT, Smith etc).

I think Locky is a big chance and would love to see Kenny & Clyde.
