much more deserving player than mr johns by a country mileNorm Provan
FG Games 256

If Football back in the day had as many international games as they do today, then Im sure Norm would have played alot more Internationals. He also played 19 games for NSW
are meningas premierships with souths that big of an achievement? there were only 3 really consistent sides in that comp and there is no way the brl comp compared to the arl/nrl comps when the knights won. just an opinion

And the old Brisbane/QRL pre-1988 records must have counted for something because let's face it, Wally Lewis played SFA games (80) in the NSWRL and 211 in the QRL...and he's an Immortal.
Maybe the judging panel should have been mate up of you blokes.
You obviously all know more about the game than the esteemed panel that picked him.
You mean the panel that had Phil Rothfield and Ray Hadley on it...
......but no you gas bags are obviously better judges.
And in case we all forgot there is some game on Sunday of some significance apparently.

And the living immortals and Wayne Bennett and ray warren etc......but no you gas bags are obviously better judges.
I actually think my dog would be a better judge than Ray Warren
Well, he did think his statue looked like him. More like Robin Williams a la Mrs Doubtfire.
What do some people in this thread think it was judged on exactly? It isn't an award for who played in the most successful teams throughout their career.
