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.
100% Billy slater, Greg Inglis is the man aswel
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.

Wally Lewis???
Lockyer not mentioned is just ridiculous.
NSW dont want Cam Smith to become immortal
Lockyer, Smith, Thurston are the only ones deserving
The whole Immortal thing is divisive. There is and can be no set criteria for being an Immortal, so why have them?
Smith is obviously going to be in the Hall of Fame but itβs way to early for him
Coote and Langer I think it has to be
GI has got to be a an immortal too
Its Cam, end of. You can say all these old fellas but truth is, if they deserved immortal status, should have been done WAY WAY BEFORE ANDREW FKN JOHNS.

Cameron Smith is already an immortal referee…
Since 2005 Australia has produced its worst records and rankings in history. Hard to believe they are seriously calling any of them immortals.
greg inglis and thurston are the most skilled australian players to have played the game
hon mention
Renouf
Lockyer
Cam Smith is just a numbers man of matches in a grrat organisation
his highlight reel would just consist of kicking tackling and passing
if you showed someone who is not too familiar with league a inglis highlight and a cam smith highlights and asked who is better
they would think it a joke
What about Freddy Fittler.
Terry Lamb over Sterling
Cam Smith is the best player of all time. He should be a immortal. 100% up to him.
Nathan cleary? 3 in a row
Coote, Sterling, Kenny or Clyde should be picked ahead of anyone who played in the last 20 years
Should be Chin. GOAT at 26, first active immortal.
Is immortal just hall of fame? Pommie asking here.
It's a joke if smith get the award,he was a dirty player,chicken wing tackle.I think Harry Wells should get it,what a player.
Clyde
Daley
Meninga
Langer
Lewis
It's Lockya π
Glen Lazarus
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.
Glen Lazarus or Alfie. They were absolute elite in their positions
They had to change the rules because of Smith cheating and then there is the salary cap problem. I don't think anyone from that period at the storm deserves to be named a great.
Wait his turn? Isnβt Joey an immortal?
Kenny stirling price cronin
From PNG, are other league playing nations eligible for immortality.. Benji Mashall?
