Yeah Andy the former Wigan & GB capt capped 36 times for GB/Eng 2 time MOS,& Golden Boot winner who won 6 Championships,4 Challenge Cups & a WCC & a few more trophies.

Choices are all subjective - I’d argue Sinfield’s record is better than Farrell’s yet is not selected despite meeting the eligibility criteria.

It's always odd, because neithers careers were better or worse than when there was last an induction, so why now and not before?

I assume it is just that there is a limited number of inductees each time and players cases are evaluated each time.

5yrs I believe. 

Peacock is eligible and I’d argue better than Sinfield, Farrell and Morley! 

This article highlights the reduction from 10 years to 5 years.

Four magnificent players, what's not to like.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Capped about 30 times too much, both man of steel awards were laughable and  several more candidates better the year he won them, won one just because he played with a bust nose for half a game after career hype from Eddie and stevo

least said about laughable golden boot the better.

a player who’s massive hype from said commentators and anyone from Wigan never matched  his limited impact or ability.
  Never a player as been less deserving.

Here is a quiz question.  Answers please without a Google search.

In his career, how many games did the new inductee Adrian Morley play alongside fellow Hall of Famer Ellery Hanley?

Correct.  And for 10 minutes.

Sinfield does not, not bern retired long enough yet, he and Peacock are shoe ins and maybe keith senior.

Really? For me Sinfield as a player is really debatable but it's a debate that's been done to death. However Senior? No way.
