Hopefully he turns his back on them and just sticks with Tonga.

Neither Locky or John’s should have been next cabs off the rank. I think a retirement period of 10 years is probably cutting it fine for the absolute pinnacle.
15 years at a minimum and realistically it should probably be around 20 at least, so it can be viewed more objectively and in context of players that have come before and since then a little better.
We should be looking at guys who dominated and retired roughly in the 90’s or very early 2000s at this point, so that would exclude Locky and John’s but consider the likes of Langer or Fittler etc (just examples of the era, not my Immortal suggestions necessarily)

Agreed. 10 years should be the time frame for consideration for the Hall of Fame with 20 years being when they start looking at you as an immortal IMO.

Smith without a doubt should get there though, he changed the way your 9 is expected to play now.

I think Lockyer will get it, but it will be like Mal and be on his 3rd attempt (you only get 3 nominations before you can never be nominated again)
next time he'll get nominated and be passed over for less deserving New South Welshman

Yes, known to take illegal substances, so he definitely qualifies.

One thing I liked was in the press conference they were talking about Gagai's punch-up with Burton and one of the reporters asked Billy if it was un-Queensland like and Slater straight away said no it wasn't.
He was all for Gagai sticking up for Ponga. That's good to see. We've got a coach that won't back down to NSW's grubby tactics.

Nah, Tino was just trying to protect Burton. And it worked, Gagai stopped swinging once Tino started cuddling little Matty. Freddy should be giving Tino a medal.

...I think in a couple of threads. (or about to)
I'm just waiting for someone to make the comparison in the Dave Fifita thread.
