ZORBA

Peters has called for JT to be inducted into the immortal world early,he is calling for a rule change so JT doesn't have to wait the five years after retirement .WTF

 

[Ryan]

To be fair Jake Trbojevic already IS an immortal in my eyes, so good call Zorba.

 

[1969]

And Brown is already an immortal in Barrett eyes.

 

[Harvies elbow]

I think it's more important for Norm Provan to be named an immortal whilst he's still......
Mortal.

 

[globaleagle]

It irks me how the media simply refer to JT and Smith as 'future immortals.'

It's not a done deal (bias alert: I'm not a real big fan of either.)

Just ask Mal Meninga.

The NRL now own 'Immortals' rights after buying out Rugby League Week.

John Grant will annoint the Qld Squad as Immortals before his contract is up in 2018

 

[1969]

And Bennett would make Darius Boyd an immortal tomorrow if he could. They should keep the 5 year rule, why change the format now?

 

[Chip and Chase]

Slow news day ???

 

[MissKate]

Looks like the only way you become an immortal nowadays is if you have a murky past. sort of tarnishing the whole accolade

 

[robbiea]

And Brown is already an immortal in Barrett eyes.[E]
Barrett constantly picking him is Immoral in my eyes

 

[jbb/james]

Wait until they start including administrators as immortals. Todd is already getting his new suite fitted for the gala affair, televised on channel 9. Its all about integrity

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Let me say if they make Zorba an immortal I'm committing Hari Kari!!

 

[Clay]

There should be a status below immortals for all best players ina generation without overdoing the immortals, like legends or something
Smith and Thurston are easily the best players of their generation wether you like the personalities or not.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

There is a lot of collective amnesia out there in NRL Land when it comes to this Immortals stuff.

Provan was mentioned earlier, deservedly so. Other greats like Ron Coote, Bob McCarthy, Ray Price, Mick Cronin, Steve Rogers and Brett Kenny seem to have been completely forgotten.

And I would have had Meninga there in front of Lewis. Four Kangaroo tours, three NSWRL/ARL premierships, numerous SOO appearances and nine seasons in the game's best competition has a currency about it that Lewis's career falls well short of.

The idea of inducting a current player is fraught with risks. This is rugby league we are talking about, isn't it?
