never understood why Clive Sullivan is not in the hall of fame. also thinking at least two others who currently qualify should be in there.

i was thinking Andy Gregory, John Holmes and Clive Sullivan, Steve Knocker Norton and mike Stephenson all must be candidates. all players who are club greats good international careers and made impact in Australia. (or a mix of those)

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_28437.png



I think more should be made of the hall of fame. Regual inductions for one thing. One or two every year at the man of steel awards for example. Have a short list like the NFL then it is a bit of an event and story.

People from the super league era who'll probably be in are Peacock, Sinfield, Farrell, Sculthope, Cunningham i would have thought

SL era? I'd have to include at least one Bull (I'd include peacock for his feats at Leeds). Big Les for me.

Without doubt.

Yep, we should celebrate and honor our former greats more. I like the idea of inductees every year at the MOS ceremony. Perhaps 2 pre SL and 2 SL era players every year?

I think we should follow the NFL HoF rule where you aren't eligible until 5 years after retirement.

I like that we don't have that many in. The scarcity of it makes it a bigger honour IMO. I wouldn't want it saturating.

The official guidance should be stuck to. While I agree we should celebrate our heroes we can do that at club level with our own Halls of Fame.

The Official RFL Hall of Fame is for the crème de la crème. For those who won Ashes series or who came very close. For those who excelled in UK and Australian competition. For those that were instrumental in winning trophies. For those who were record try scorers and goalkickers.

For that reason a lot of those mentioned already I’d only really consider Andy Gregory and possibly Clive Sullivan at a push. The rest, although great players, don’t meet the criteria for the top echelon.

It is a bit but being sensible all of the current incumbents meet those criteria. Most of those suggested on this thread so far do not IMO.
