Another immortal will be announced this year.

It's safe to say the winner is out of the following:
Norm Provan
Ron Coote
Mal Meninga
Andrew Johns
Peter Sterling
Laurie daley
Brad Fittler
Allan langer

The rules are all judges to make their decisions based on 'on field performance only'. This means they can't take into account :
*Mal's 6 origin series wins as coach
*Ron Coote's charity work with forming Men of League.
*Andrew John's choice to pop a few disco bickies.

Recipients must have been retired for at least 5 years (I reckon should be 10 or 15 years).

So who would you vote for ?

i disagree about andrew johns dico bickies. he said part of the reason he took them was because he could not deal with pressure and he was ****ed. so if he needed them as a release in order to play footy and deal with the fishbowl of newie(and having a ****wit brother). so no he should not even be mentioned

Langer

Scott Tronc (born 15 May 1965) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1980s and 90s. A Queensland State of Origin representative forward, he played club football in Brisbane with Souths, winning a premiership with them in 1985, and later the Broncos, and in Sydney with Wests, Canterbury-Bankstown and Souths.

Playing career

Tronc was the winner of the Rothmans Medal (joint with Bryan Neibling) in 1986 while playing for Brisbane Souths.

Scott Tronc played 34 games for Western Suburbs from 1987 to 1988 as a prop forward, before joining Brisbane to play 21 games from 1989 to 1990. He represented the Queensland State of Origin team in one match as a reserve in 1988. In 1991, he joined Canterbury to become a regular member of the first-grade team, playing mostly in the second row. That year, he played in one finals match against Western Suburbs as a replacement.

In 1992, Tronc started the season in the first-grade side but was relegated, with his place going to Gavin Hill. He subsequently became a regular member of the reserve-grade team but was still often used as a first-grade replacement.

In 1993, he coached the Under 21 team but returned to playing when he joined South Sydney in 1994 to play seven games that season, his last in the league.
Coaching

Tronc spent periods as assistant coach at Redcliffe Dolphins[1] and the Brisbane Broncos NYC team.

Regardless of any criteria of merit, and not saying he doesnt deserve it but it will be Norm Provan, as he is the longest retired player. Playing in 10 consecutive grand finals might have some weight behind it also.

I agree and he gets my vote. In saying that, why has he been overlooked
for so long ? If you base it on longest since retired then he should have been picked before Beetson, Lewis, Langlands, Fulton, Raper, Gasnier. Yep, he retired earlier then every immortal except Churchill. So this may work in his favour or not.

^^^^they wanted a space between dragons players

100% agree. If the army handed out a VC to every soldier that commited an act of bravery it would diminish the value of the award.

And how could they possibly leave out Ross Conlon ?
