Finally the ARLC/NRL made the correct call. Yes Cam Smith would have been a worthy addition but we need to acknowledge the men who came before. So I add my congratulations to Ron Coote Immortal.
Finally they got it right by naming some after the 90’s. I’m still miffed that John’s got it ahead of many outstanding players from the 70’s and 80’s who changed the game
Johns did it all at every level. Won Dally Ms, Golden Boots. Lead Newcastle to 2 Premierships. All those guys waiting to be next Immortal from Canberra, Broncos , Storm etc had star studded squads compared to what Johns had at Newcastle. C'mon lol 🤦
@@laftw93 yes he was a great footballer, yet he couldn’t get the halfback position from Langer when playing for Australia. I just believe they give immortal status to players too quickly. His off field behavior was deplorable, he can thank M. Hill for sweeping his indiscretions under the carpet. A John’s and Fittler were protected species
What a legend well deserved shame it took so long but well deserved these legends paved the way guys like this should have been immortalised before Mal and Joey or around that Era
Have seen the presentation by Ray Hadley of Ron’s Team of the Century Blazer. Now virtually all the living members of that team have been awarded Immortal Status. But giving Ron that blazer to make up for his 2020 loss . Pretty good.
Never saw Coote play, but happy that the more recent retired crop of players didn’t get this honour yet. Started watching the NRL in the 90’s. Believe this award should be given to the elite of the elite. Obviously saw big Mal and Andrew John’s play. Also watched Wally Lewis play test league in the 80’s. From the modern era I only believe Cam Smith deserves his place as an immortal. My opinion only.
Well deserved and over due indeed Poor Ron he and his wife in there Eighties thank God they made it many others deserve it as well from that era not in the last 15 years either.
Firstly congratulations to immortal 14 Mr Ron Coote,,,,,so dam happy for him,,,,look any player on that list deserve the honor,,,,,,the judges got it right no doubt,,,,there’s sooooo many elite players out there,,,,,,I believe every two years should nominate 3 players to b an immortal,,,,,
Congrats to a great man a true worker in the game both on and off the field.... Just a small clarification ...the presenter said only 13 immortals in "the game" should have prefaced it by "the game in Australia" they are all rightfully immortals, but amongst other immortals from the rest of the rugby league world 😊
They need a system that picks immortals from the previous 2 decades that way you don’t have guys like RC getting in behind guys he should have been picked ahead of jus my thoughts on it guys no shade to mal wal n Joey
Yes he was. Not only that and no disrespect to the King, Mal and Joey but it felt very arse about them welcoming Ron Coote on the stage as an immortal. As a forward Ron did it all, and has a 60 year+ contribution across the game
BTW why is Andrew John's even become an Immortal?????? He's a drug cheat! A cheater will always be a cheater! Let's admit that Lockyer is better than Andrew John's
Not saying I don't agree with Coote being an Immortal but this really should have been done years ago. Most modern fans have no idea who Coote is and what he achieved in the game - not to mention he played before the professional era. Next time you make fans wait 20 years for an Immortal, please choose someone relevant.

Legend! Glad they honoured him while he is alive!
A long, LONG overdue honour for one of league’s all-time greats ✊😁. Congratulations Ron 👏👏👏
Congrats Ron, well deserved. Time to go watch your highlights on youtube.
Great to see RC finally get inducted. It's been a long but whortwhile wait. Congrats to the great man.
Humble responses.. respect 🙏
He was the Wayne Pearce of his day. A true gentleman on and off the field.

Justice at last. Congratulations Ron.
You deserve it.
This man should have been in before the three guys he shook hands with, well deserved champ!
Fully Deserved Congratulations Ron from the Uk
Congratulations Ron Coote.
quite deservedly Ron Coote now an NRL Hall of Fame Immortal congratulations.
What an absolute champion & legend 👍😌🌅🌅🌅
Ron coote highlights just became the top search on yt 😂
30 plus years overdue. Congratulations.

100%. This was an outstanding decision. Sterling should be next.
@@thesorrow88 Sterling's not quite immortal level. He certainly is hall of fame level, just not immortal.
💯% on the Johns thing !
Johns did it all at every level. Won Dally Ms, Golden Boots. Lead Newcastle to 2 Premierships. All those guys waiting to be next Immortal from Canberra, Broncos , Storm etc had star studded squads compared to what Johns had at Newcastle. C'mon lol 🤦

If we're being real Ron Coote should've been the 8the immortal!
Delighted Ron awarded an Immortal, best player, beautiful fine man.
Brilliant!
What a legend well deserved shame it took so long but well deserved these legends paved the way guys like this should have been immortalised before Mal and Joey or around that Era
Great choice, well deserved
Loved watching him play!! Great attacking player with speed and strength. Known for his cover Defence.
Why not just get right into it, why the NRLW clip at the start?

Well done ron coote outstanding player for the mighty roosters and a gentleman .i salute you mate
Such a legend of our game👏👏
Sterlo or Langer next, then Daily, then Sticky, then start to think about 8 in a row QLD spine.
why they pick jonsey so quick but waiting for jt etc
I agree with the first part but there's plenty more to go before QLD 8 in a row gets a mention apart from JT just my opinion
What about Brett kenny
Lockyer must fit in there somewhere...not sure about the others you mentioned....I think immortals must be the very best
@@1362pc Lockyer was in the 8 in a row QLD spine for a bit
John Hopoate for hall of fame, raise your fingerlol
Really 😂😆🤣
Mate Ha Ha . Now that's Funny
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha!
Well deserved you LEGEND!!!
I got a Ronny Coote last night too
I heard you can beat an egg but you can't beat a r
What about Darren Lockyer? all the Immortals are NSW players.
About time.
Lovely guy, can't hate him even though he is a South's legend.
Did more at Souths than he ever did at Roosters
Congrats to a great man a true worker in the game both on and off the field.... Just a small clarification ...the presenter said only 13 immortals in "the game" should have prefaced it by "the game in Australia" they are all rightfully immortals, but amongst other immortals from the rest of the rugby league world 😊
Should've been one of the first
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Put up his highlights so us young fellas can see what ron was all about
What's the first bit have to do with anything?
Good on ya Ron, Nobody deserves it more than you great man 👍
Next should be Michael bani
👇🏿 Well Deserved 😁
@1:15 massive class adjustment here.
Congratulations Mr Coote.
Only down side was seeing our PM.
They need a system that picks immortals from the previous 2 decades that way you don’t have guys like RC getting in behind guys he should have been picked ahead of jus my thoughts on it guys no shade to mal wal n Joey
Can anyone name the other 10 immortals
Mean Maori!!!!😜😜❤❤
This edit is a crime
Where was Pat Carrigan?
Playing in that girls game? Yea the shifted him to reserves, he couldn't keep up with the rest of the girls.
@@shanerorko8076 the women would have to go full brazil bikini bottoms to wear less than that man
Pat has more to do yet.
Joking me, so you telling me this guy was better player then smith, Thurston, Lockyer etc.?
That’s right matey
Yes he was. Not only that and no disrespect to the King, Mal and Joey but it felt very arse about them welcoming Ron Coote on the stage as an immortal. As a forward Ron did it all, and has a 60 year+ contribution across the game
You need to see some footage of South's premiership wins in the 1970's and when the Tigers beat them in a big upset.
BTW why is Andrew John's even become an Immortal?????? He's a drug cheat! A cheater will always be a cheater! Let's admit that Lockyer is better than Andrew John's
Rest assured , the drugs he took is in no way a performance enhancing drug. Quite the opposite 😂
Locky was with John's when he got caught with the pinga
I Agree 💯👍🏿
Do you know you can’t cheat with the drugs he took numbnuts . Only thing he cheated on was his sleep .
I rate Lockyer in front of Smith, Thurston, Slater and Cronk but not Johns.
How is Hazem eL Masri not in the convo, greatest goal kicker of all time, premiership with dogs, played for Australia and NSW,
Defo HOF player
Dogs fan here, Hazem is a winger. A great winger, wasn’t a game changer by any means. Not even close for immortal conversation mate
Hazem el magic
Not good enough
I love Hazem, however he is a HOF. Bulldogs greats Steve Mortimer and Terry Lamb might be in the conversation.
Taane Milne robbed

If you dont know Coote, you don't know the game, no matter how old you are
Rugby League has a history you know.Do you know the original sides?Remember Harry Bath and Ray Stehr.
The whole immortal thing is just stupid
Why is that? Explain
Well deserved Ron Coote. ARL got to reconsider of players that so many years ago be recognised
About time Ron got it should of been 1st picked before any of the rest
Really good video!👁👁
