    The more immortals you add the less prestigous the title becomes.

      Except there’s been about 10,000 play professionally. 500 play internationally, 150 in the hall of fame and less than 15 in the immortals so they could add about 85 and still be in the top 1% ever to play.

    Gotta be Kenny.
    If they go Cam Smith by the time they pick the next one, it'll probably be Thurston....then Cleary, then some bloke who probably hasn't played yet.
    So giving it to Cam Smith now means any other player from the past is basically forgotten about and will probably never get the chance. Recency bias is going to kill the whole concept.

  • @cccmmm1093
    @cccmmm1093 Місяць тому +3

    What is the criteria for it, though? I think that's a big problem with who they pick. If they pick a centre from back in the day like a Rogers etc. who is good in their own right, but does that mean Inglis being the best centre of all time who is elite in multiple positions is a shoe in for immortal? If they pick Sterling, does that mean not only the obvious Fittler, Lockyer, Thurston are immortals, but Cronk is as well? It's not outrageous names I'm bringing up, but I think waiting so long with eras to induct players, it's let us seen even more elite talent overtake some players, so there will always be a question over why this person, why not this person and so on.

    Do agree with Hindy. Pretty sure Cam Smith, Slater, Thurston, Fittler, Lockyer will all eventually get it. I think they rushed Joey in (even though he obviously was going to be an immortal) so should give it to the older boys first, but again, shouldn't be handing the title around like candy.

    I'm sorry but Andrew Johns being an immortal is ridiculous.
    Firstly it happened far too quickly after he stopped playing when great players have waited much longer.
    Secondly it was based on winning 3 origins in a row when Queensland won 7 or 8 in a row. Where is J.T. Cameron Smith or Darren Lockyer?
    I can name a number of players who merit the honour above Joey Johns and had better records. Alfie Langer for one.
    But these guys aren't from NSW.
