Tommy Raudonikis , Mick Cronin , Ray Price , Tony Melrose , Noel Cleal , think it was Martin Bella & Blocka Roach ,,,,, Steve Rogers

Thinking more about this, I reckon the players should be retired for min. 20 years (I may cop 15) cause I like to see a old bloke get it. I reckon some nominees are too young. You wouldn't give a knighthood to a 38 year old would you ? Same thing here. Provan should get it then Coote next time in say 3 years then don't give any more out for 10 years. Surely we don't want 20 immortals.

three guys in this photo should be in. john sattler held up by i think Bob McCarthy and i think thats Ron coote on the right

maybe George Piggins in the middle

I think that's Mike Cleary on the right there Weiry.

did i get george and bob right

You got Sattler McCarthy and Cleary who was a winger and very quick but that other bloke looks like Rex Mossop who played for Manly. Someone will know.

Your right Scotty Mossop had long since retired. Speaking of Piggins my Dad took me and my younger brother to a game at Jubillee Oval Souths v Saints. We were sitting behind the goal posts and watched Piggins drag Jon Jansen , who was a huge Saints prop, out of a scrum and belted the daylights out of him. Jansen stood easily one foot taller than Piggins. It got broken up but Piggins got the best of it. Another little hard man playing that day for Saints was Billy Smith.

yep those bloody hookers "back in the days when a scrum was a scrum" loved throwing punches

I think it is looking at him.

i really believe it should be 25 years before you can be nominated. that way if you do get a nod you know you have survived 25y of debate and are not fresh in peoples minds...

For Breezers that didnt know.
Its Captain John Sattler being chaired off after a 23 - 12 win over Manly in the 1970 G/Final
he played with a broken jaw that he received in the first half.

Im a bit younger, just wondering Did they also win it in 1969?


Sorry that's all I have, I now have to support a ****ty merged entity...

Edit. But a premiership winning entity.. Go Balmain

**** stirrer

Cliff Lyons, Geoff Toovey & Steve Menzies - although he is still running around in the Super League

Since then ??


Scotty as if I'd take the piss, this is a serious forum I'm just here to ensure that the knowledge of the older gentlemen has a pipeline to flow through .

Na mate seriously, always been a tigers supporter always will be, I still remeber the GF we lost in 88 and I was about 10, only ever watched that once. **** Canberra & warren Ryan, dont start me on that KaHunt.

As for your immortal, Daley, langer, meninga, fitler all good footballers, none immortal, langer was the best from that lot. But lots of others in this group, Lewis, Kenny etc, Ross colon is not one of them although Kerry Hemsley may be

Johnsy was a genius and all genius's have flaws, I'll Pull the classic MP line out here," I could say but won't" but he doesn't deserve it, at the moment.

Sterlo, not sure didn't see him enough, end of career was when I was young.

The rest, too young to have seen them.But a vote has to go to Ronnie coote just for his contributions to Australian slang

Best footballer I have seen is Lockyer and then Johnsy

Ill beat you to the final punchline weiry....

At least Souths still exist.

End of story.
