GI is an absolute lock for Immortal, maybe too soon but there is no reason he shouldn't be in the same conversation as Slater, Cronk and Smith. How people aren't mentioning him is absolutely criminal. Some of the things he did, no one on this or any other planet could have done.
The word ‘unstoppable’ gets thrown around a lot these days. But GI was literally unstoppable. He was a prop forward with the speed of a winger. Best ever player in my eyes
AS a Queenslander it has to be either Peter Stirling or Brett Kenny. All the rest mentioned need to do their time like the aforementioned. My first choice is Brett Kenny. Just ask Wally as to who was the best five-eight/centre of his time (leaving his admiration of Mark Ella aside). Vote Brett Kenny.
I'm surprised Fittler didn't get in before Andrew Johns. Some of you good fans know the process better but guys I think Clyde, Lazzo, Kenny, Freddy, and Lockie..any of these guys deserve a spot. Cam Smith, Slater will get in but later
Lockyer before they started to target him constantly making him tackle all game - was unlike anyone ever or since. His feet...that's why he was magic. the game changed and the new stars were as good - but early locky was a star. to outshine langer and lewis in Qld...lockyer his first international game was a shocker and he bounced back other players would have lost their nerve. The others are worthy but lockyer was the cross over from old school to modern game and was magic. yes andrew jones did things better than him at times, but you're down 4 points and need to win with 30secs left. its langer or locker you throw it to. As good as alfie was, lockyer was better. Alfie probably should get in first but if its between the two of them locky is a step up on alfie and that's really hard to type.
Jack Gibson A few years after he took Parramatta to their 1st premierships, was asked who was the best player he had coached. His reply "STERLING". That's good enough for me. I went to lots of games in the 70's-90's, & the best 2 players I ever saw, were Fulton & Sterling. Can't believe Sterlo has been so overlooked, & I'm not a Parra or Manly supporter.
Sterling was better than Kenny, and Ricky is better than Alf, theyre just saying all these big names bc of nostalgia and the legend of all these players today, Sterlo won 4 comps and changed the way halfbacks play as if he isnt an automatic pick?
ricky was not ( and he would say himself ) better than alf they played 2 completely different types of games ricky the combative extra forward alf the little magician
Vote Lockyer!!! No other players in the NRL has been nominated the greatest player in two positions ( Full back & Five eight). Won premierships, State of origin series, World cup and he has a great attitude and character of a professional sportsman. It's not only about your achievements and skills, but your character and Lockyer deserves it❤️💯
Yes, Lockyer, always stepping up when the under pressure, in the critical moments in a game and delivery some insane plays, making fans go crazy and opposition JEALOUS. Darren Lockyer The Clutch Player,
@@hansoloburger2322 not as such. Just it put more on Thurstons chance of being in before him for me. You take out Locky its still an elite Broncs team. Take out Thurston (or Joey as an example) their teams are no where near the same. Same reason why Id never go for Cam Smith (or Cronk and Slater). Unfortunately it could already be held against Nathan Clearys greatness, being part of an elite Panthers team…
Yeah Alf!! Years ago my ex girlfriend hit him with her car as he was stumbling out of a nightclub in Brisbane lol He just laughed and kept cruising to the next club 😎
If we are picking 5 Langer Irvine Lockyer Lazarus Cam Smith Add in Coote and GI. And Kenny did not have the wood on Wally. That is a myth. Wally dominated Kenny more often than not
Come on, Just give to Darren Lockyer already!!!! this delay on awarding him is ridiculous! NSW selection committee, this bias stinks across the world to England.
If Melbourne hadn't lost those premiership he would of been a 5 time premiership player at two different clubs. And went back to back with roosters. Definitely one of the best the game has seen
Cooper cronk would of been a 5 time premiership player if the NRL hadn't stripped Melbourne of them premierships. Back to back premiership at the roosters. Cronk is one of the greatest halfback the game has seen.
For me from the 80s there are 4 worthy Lewis, meninga, Sterling and Kenny. Sterling and Kenny need to be next. From the 90s the 4 deserving are Allan Langer, Glenn Lazarus, Brad Fittler and Laurie Daley. From the 2000s it’s gotta be Andrew Johns, Darren Lockyer, Jonathon Thurston, Cameron smith From 2010s cooper Cronk, Billy slater, Greg Inglis that’s it. I don’t have anything for the 70s or before.
I agree with the fact that changing the eligible rules to be come an immortal is a huge mistake,a comment was posted before that in a way it seems to me also that it lessons the honour and privilege of such a high status in this moment. There going to have a cast of hundreds which is just going to make this whole process ridiculous.We just can't have All The the great player's be come immortals 🤩
Andrew johns shouldn't be one for starters as Stuart, Toovey, Kimmorely and probably Orford all were prefered as halfbacks in the NSW team at various points over him during his career.
What about Steve Renouf, Chickah Ferguson and Petro can't spell his last name 😂 mate the list goes on their all forever Immortal to this great game.🇳🇿💯💪👍
We Shouldn’t be Talking About JT, GI, Smith, Slater, Cronk YET! Can We focus on putting them in the Hall of Fame First. Hall of Fame Then Immortals This means we should be talking Ron Coote, Sterlo, Kenny, Locky. Just Calm down. We don’t need to add Everyone Now.
Lockyer, I think players like Sterling, Fitler, Coote, Kenny and Langer are a tier below , then obviously Thurston,Smith, Slater, GI, Cronk next up and possibly Cleary in future
@@yessirrr5182 I mentioned Cleary because there is levels to being an immortal , and he's the only one of this generation that I think could reach immortal status. I don't understand what you mean about luai it's weird you even mention it. I'm Aboriginal and Samoan
It's Cam Smith. Immortal should be best of the era. It's 100% Cam. All the old heads, should of been in before Joey if that's the case of you wanting to give the old heads a spot.
GI is an absolute lock for Immortal, maybe too soon but there is no reason he shouldn't be in the same conversation as Slater, Cronk and Smith.

Yea. The way he made boyd superstar in origin was crazy😊😊

Cronk won't be an immortal.

Stereo should have been named before Joey then. Unfortunately he wasn’t named during his time so up next will be Lockeyer most likely.

Cam Smith, Slater will get in but later
Laurie Daley was better than Fittler. Daley kept Fittler out of 5/8th for NSW whenever both were available.
Lockyer for immortal, kiwis always hated seeing him on the field, always trouble.. best kangaroo pest second to Langer imo..
- from a Kiwi

Sterlo for me.
Amazing to think Nathan Clearly could already be In The conversation and he is only half way through his career.
Brett kenny. 2 tries in 81 82 83 grand final. What a player.
I can't believe Sterlo is not in the conversation
Jack Gibson A few years after he took Parramatta to their 1st premierships, was asked who was the best player he had coached. His reply "STERLING". That's good enough for me. I went to lots of games in the 70's-90's, & the best 2 players I ever saw, were Fulton & Sterling. Can't believe Sterlo has been so overlooked, & I'm not a Parra or Manly supporter.
I reckon they should have lengthened the qualifying time to 10 years. Too many immortals and it becomes nothing special.
Bradley Clyde should be in the conversation.
Lazarus. 5 premierships with 3 clubs in 10 years.
Team achievement though
Inglis the most gifted player the game has seen, has to be him
Most Gifted athlete, Skills wise there have been better
Lockyer, Greg Inglis or Kenny
What about Daley? He captained NSW and Australia to wins.
And he coached NSW to wins.
💯 Greg inglis.
for mine its definitely Darren Lockyer his stats are off the chart
Why isnt Scott Minto in the conversation
who?
He's too good
It’s called immortal not god
He is busy coaching The Dolphins..oh sorry that's his father
@@hoggers7572 🤣🤣🤣
John Peard, George Peponis, Royce Simmons, Neil Pringle, Steve Roach, John Brass, Ken Irvine, Larry Corowa, Greg Alexander, Wayne Pierce, Ron Coote.
Sterling was better than Kenny, and Ricky is better than Alf, theyre just saying all these big names bc of nostalgia and the legend of all these players today, Sterlo won 4 comps and changed the way halfbacks play as if he isnt an automatic pick?
Great comment
Totally agree.
ricky was not ( and he would say himself ) better than alf
they played 2 completely different types of games
ricky the combative extra forward
alf the little magician
ricky with the great long pass i might add
Sterling was better than Kenny. But Alfie was better than Stuart. But Sterling was better than both.
Kenny for sure.
Recency bias will destroy the Immortals concept.
How old are you?

Lockyer dominated in 3 different decades
Was an absolute winner
Different positions
4 rings
In elite teams the whole time
@@JustNate365 so was every other person named…
But to get dally m fullback 3 times & dally m 5/8 another 3 times are individual awards mate

Alfie should have been an immortal 20 years ago.
Alfie Langer! 💪🏾
Yeah Alf!!
Years ago my ex girlfriend hit him with her car as he was stumbling out of a nightclub in Brisbane lol
He just laughed and kept cruising to the next club 😎
If we are picking 5
Langer
Irvine
Lockyer
Lazarus
Cam Smith
Add in Coote and GI.
And Kenny did not have the wood on Wally. That is a myth. Wally dominated Kenny more often than not
JT for me
Cameron Smith. From a NSW and Manly fan. He's the best game manager and leader I've ever seen.
Lazzo , Alfie , stuart , Lockyer and Cliffy Lyons shouid be there
Cliffy Lyons absolutely. And I'm not a manly fan
Sterling??? 💁🏻♂️
Come on, Just give to Darren Lockyer already!!!! this delay on awarding him is ridiculous! NSW selection committee, this bias stinks across the world to England.
Immortals going off Cronks criteria.. only Inglis(dominates his position in any era) and Cam Smith(🐐) are worthy.
HOF for the rest.
Steve Roger's agree but i would pick E T
Kenny all day.
Lockyer
I have Cooper Cronk as the greatest half back the game has ever seen, easy.
If Melbourne hadn't lost those premiership he would of been a 5 time premiership player at two different clubs. And went back to back with roosters. Definitely one of the best the game has seen
Steve Mortimer
Coote, Sterling, Daley
Lessening the time isn’t a good thing - Joey going early messed up the order

Only Lockyer, Thurston and Smith are deserving. Adding everyone you listed would cheapen it
Andrew John's has been an immortal for ages now
💯💯
@@Hardcastle83 His accomplishments are not on the level of the three I mentioned.
@Hardcastle83 He wasn't consistent enough on a game by game basis.

Inglis
Brad fittler, Andrew John's , Darren lockier. Mid Erra.
Present, Copper,cronk, Jonathan Thurston, Cameron smith billy slater Greg iglish.
John's is already inmort
has to be Reg Reagan
Gotta be Sterlo or Alfie before any of the early/mid 2000’s players
If it’s not Marshall Chalk I’d be disappointed
I reckon Immortals should wait 20 years to be named, 3-5 is way too early.
Thoughts on Sam Burgess?
Just for that Grand Final performance alone!
Coops has to be contender.
He’s not ahead of anyone they named here
Hmmm other than maybe Fittler, agree with Coopers 5.
Cameron Smith hands down!
That would be an even worse choice than having Joey in there so early. It shouldn’t happen. Smith should wait his turn.
@@smokes..letsgo.. well he's not asking to be an immortal.
Signed 2 contracts to blatantly cheat the cap. Has been blacklisyed as an immortal
Andrew johns shouldn't be one for starters as Stuart, Toovey, Kimmorely and probably Orford all were prefered as halfbacks in the NSW team at various points over him during his career.
John's is already immortal and revilutionalised the position halfback and all the Qld greats even said he was something different on the field..
This means nothing . how can Johns be ahead of Sterling , Kenny , Brad Clyde, Wayne Pearce , Steve Rogers , Steve Mortimer , Ray Price, Mick Cronin
It should be 2 immorals every 4years and next should be Coote and Kenny proof in the stats and the film
Was a cronulla lad, then steve rogers went 2 the dragons❤
Locky
Humans, we keep making rules to make us feel good. 😂
Stirlo and JT. Freddy and Locky there abouts. Not a fan of Cam Smith or Slater, they were more team dominance.
Danza smitty
Tony Danza .
The only 3 who I'd even consider making Immortals who aren't already would be Peter Sterling, James Maloney and Nathan Cleary. Come at me, Bros!
And your mum
@@Nodiss_Diss Yeah, sorry I forgot about her. Peter Sterling, James Maloney, Nathan Cleary and my Mum.
@@Nodiss_DissI second his mum
