congrats to Andrew Johns!!! Well deserved, one of the greatest players of all time.
As a Queenslander, i really hoped for Mal, but im happy with Johns being an immortal.
I hope they induct more people soon as Mal, Provan and Lockyer i believe should be inducted at some stage.

And the living immortals and Wayne Bennett and ray warren etc......but no you gas bags are obviously better judges.

I actually think my dog would be a better judge than Ray Warren
Well, he did think his statue looked like him. More like Robin Williams a la Mrs Doubtfire.

You better be careful what you say about the statue. Ray Hadley might see and get you banished with Andrew Voss

Meninga's record at the Raiders wasn't that great either if you take into consideration that for one Premiership the referee made up is own rules in 1989, in 1990 the Raiders exceeded the salary cap to win against Penrith and had gone near bust in 1991 in a losing side before being bailed out by their fans, therefore the 1994 Premiership is their only noteworthy win.

What do some people in this thread think it was judged on exactly? It isn't an award for who played in the most successful teams throughout their career.

It's judged on the amount of signed memorabilia they can pump out over the next 20 years.
