Choices are all subjective - I’d argue Sinfield’s record is better than Farrell’s yet is not selected despite meeting the eligibility criteria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it is just that there is a limited number of inductees each time and players cases are evaluated each time. 3 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

RigbyLuger Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Would be interesting to know who is on the panel regardless. (Not saying anyone who is in shouldn't be, just who we trust with our heritage.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley did it in the NRL. That puts he, an Ellis, above a Peacock etc. Not that I don't think Peacock will end up in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Four magnificent players, what's not to like. 4 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.

Don’t know enough about watkins but John Holmes would have been a better choice. Morley yes , farrell get lost, always over hyped over rated, captain if the ultimate team if flat track bullies, nothing more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited September 21, 2022 by Live after death 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunbar Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 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?

RigbyLuger Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 The problem any Super League era player has, compared to those of the past, if is they didn't test themselves in the NRL, they certainly didn't do it at international level thanks to the results of GB/England.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
