I think Rob Burrow and possibly Bill Ramsey could get the nod this time.

Absolutely. McDermott was one of the better players in his era for the club but when there were still players like Clues who are in the top 10 in the club's history who weren't there it made no sense other than pandering to modern fans.

Tomorrow I think Alan Smith maybe Shoebottom and If exceptional circumstances is activated in the 5 year retirement criteria Rob Burrow. Jp wo t get in because he played for HKR in 2016

no reason for ay inductees to be from modern era till worked through previous ones

Am truly surprised Clues was not previously in the Leeds HOF. First saw him play in Hull in 1947 with Bert Cook also in the side. Would rate Clues as a great second row forward with real class on a par with fellow Aussie Harry Bath.

Also in that match playing for Hull was an Aus winger Bruce Ryan who came over just after Arthur. When Ryan first arrived by train in Hull a crowd of 4-5 thousand (me included) were there to meet him and he was one of my favourite ever players. I cried when he left to join Leeds for a world record fee in 1950.

When this Hall of fame was started Phil Caplan said the I ductees are selected in no particular order . Whatever that means .

McDermott was a pretty average player - more froth than substance. Neither Murray or Smith really rated him - how he could in before the likes of Mick Shoebottom shows how much he has sucked up to the boss.

Never played year 1 of Murray and Smith used him very sparingly - I think he played 15 mins of the 2004 GF and no minutes of 2005 CC final IIRC?

Loads from the golden era will eventually be added all the usual suspects and a few from just before like Adrien Morley 149 appearances 1 short of the 150*

Throw in Steve Pitchford lance Todd GB over 300 games

Dave Heron, Roy Powell, Carl Gibson all Fabulous players in the clubs worst era the later two having superb international careers

Fred Webster getting added today

Thank God for that, if this is to be a properly representative Hall of Fame you simply can't ignore people who would walk into the thing backwards if they'd played in the last 50 years. Just look at his stats, his international appearances, his length of service, the captain of the club's first major trophy winning side, he's such an easy choice.

The club cant trace any descendants. I wonder if the club are using the pandemic to induct deceased players who's relatives are not available? There are a few more from that era Frank Bucket Young and Dinny Campbell etc
