Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE " It is usually only 2 names each round. But I hope that Brian Bevan will get it next time.'"


Actually it has been a quite haphazard procedure but the induction of immortals will stabilise from now.

1981 4 inductees.
1999 2 inductees.
2003 1 inductee.
2012 1 inductee.
2018 5 inductees.

!981 was the start of the process and only included players post WW2 and last night was a catch up to include' Hall of Famers ' from the start of Aus rugby league in 1908.

With you on the comment regarding Brian Bevan. He was was named in the Australian team of the century(1908-200icon_cool.gif even though he never played for them and is the only player named in both the English and Aus Hall of Fame.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



Quote: thepimp007 "Genuine question will Barba be seen as the same whenever he decides to leave? Or does it depend on the silverware coming this year too?'"


I would say no, Ben Barba has probably been one of our worse players in the last 3 or 4 games he's played. From what I can remember Meninga was "on the button" most of the time scored 38 tries in the season, didn't carry any controversy and what stood out was how tough he was and very rarely dominated.

Yeah that was my thinking, although he didnt look fully fit last time i saw him, knee looked heavily strapped. I think Lyon, Gidley etc did more. Don't get me wrong it has been great seeing someone of his quality here but I think he owuld need a couple more seasons to go into folklore

He was top drawer, but it was 28 tries in the season not 38.

Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Some might argue that Malcolm Meninga was the greatest player St Helens ever had.

Remember that St Helens has also had classy players like Jaime Lyon and Matthew Gidley as star centres in their times there. So to rate Malcolm Meninga as St Helens best ever player is quite an accolade.'"


Would place a fair few above Meninga as the best I have seen play for St Helens.

At the top of my list would be Karel Thomas van Vollenhoven.
