I'm not the biggest fan of Cam Smith i am 63 and loved the game since i was 7 but if i was picking a side to win a game Cam is my first pick, best football brain i have ever seen. Lazarus will will you a game as well!
The names Matty's listing albeit good players & stats, we must not forget that whoever it is, they also have to be accepted by the people of all walks of life elevated to household names status, analogous with greatness. Much like what the US have done with their athletes- Tyson, Ali, Jordan etc
controversial opinion but i don't think he's an immortal. Very good player no doubt. But QLD still win 8 in a row if Robbie Farah (or similar calibre) was the 9. Smith retired and melbourne still kill it. Slater is the one imo.
@@hansoloburger2322 i didn't say it doesn't matter. I said he's very good, without being an immortal. That isn't an insult. Not everyone is an immortal.
Alfie Langer should definitely be an immortal. Won a lot more than Joey Johns. Alfie was a better player every day of the week. The other player is Jonathan Thurston.
Locky, Thurston, smith and slater.. can’t put them all in so Smith for me.. I think Thurston to maybe, just for what he did/does for north qld and aboriginal culture
@@jasonoxenbridge4554 Yeah, he'd be good too. I just want to see some of the past greats get in before they start putting in Thurston and Cam Smith, because they'll keep doing it and anyone pre-2000 will end up ignored. I can see it now, Smith goes in, so the next will be Thurston and maybe Lockyer.... by then they'll be talking about Cleary. Recency bias will kill the concept.
2000 grand final... Lockyer wins both grand final and Clive Churchill medal against your almighty Fittler. The guy beat the salary cap cheating storm in the GF with Shane Perry as his half back... Whoever that guy was or did that season we still don't know 😂@@zendosaftw
@@zendosaftw an esteemed panel of ex kangaroos captains were asked, of all previous captains, who would they choose to lead them? And the overwhelming majority chose Locky. I think that speaks volumes about the calibre of player Lockyer was. Especially coming from a group of men who actually played the game at the highest level and know the game better your punk ass. But it may have something to do with the fact that Lockyer was disciplined enough to stay off the bags while playing. And he also never referred to GI as a black c*nt, unlike a certain immortal we all know. 😂😂😂😂 #ThisIsYourKing??
@@gullzr5410 there is so many great players - anyone that ever got to play first grade (in country towns it was religion back in the day) has had their fun. But there is immortals; then hall of famer's; then club legends etc.
@@gullzr5410 for sure - Tommy Raudonikis - his toughness defined his teams; played at the highest level; and then gave back as a coach in Ipswich. etc. Wayne Bennett played for Australia - and look what else he has done in the game! The game is full of champions.
Cam Smith played a lot of games yeah but that was because he never took hit ups. He was the beneficiary of an elite Storm system, surrounded by superstars, and a real talent for bending rules/manipulating refs to suit himself. No way should he be an immortal.
Sorry I don't consider Lockyer or even Cameron Smith to be an Immortal! Very good players but we should not just give this acknowledgement away to just "GOOD PLAYERS"...They have to be honoured to players with a significant ability - Thus The Term "IMMORTAL!!" Cam Smith was a great Captain & Grinder - Not a Standout Player!

If Lockyer doesn’t become an immortal before Smith, it means nothing.
Cronk > Smith > Thurston
Immortalise Alfie Lockyer & Cronk
Bradley Clyde or Brett Kenny I reckon. Cam smith, Lockyer & JT still got time to get theirs

Nobody has ever said i cant wait to watch cam smith play tonight
Cam's biggest talent was between his ears. Smart person's player

@@TheDrumLife1so you think it doesn’t matter who the player who touches the ball the most of any player in a game doesn’t matter just a tad ridiculous
An what do you mean by that?
@@hansoloburger2322 i didn't say it doesn't matter. I said he's very good, without being an immortal. That isn't an insult. Not everyone is an immortal.
Sterling and langer should be ahead of the dynasty guys.
Woodsy is the next immortal 😳
What about 'one look Kasey' - Who doesn't love a yellow school bus.
Jt 4 dally m then cam smith and even greg inglis should get a mention
The black pearl my fav centre of the nineties with ET
Brett Kenny
Why do I have to come to RUclips to listen to the last 5 minutes ????? I won’t be doing it again sort ya shit out
Alfie Langer should definitely be an immortal.
Won a lot more than Joey Johns.
Alfie was a better player every day of the week.
The other player is Jonathan Thurston.

greg inglis surely
Kenny and/or Sterling have to get in there soon or the whole thing is a joke.
When they made Joey a immortal it became a joke.
Ray Price
@@jasonoxenbridge4554 Yeah, he'd be good too.

Lockyer should have got it before andrew johns
LOL lockyer isn't even better than fittler, let alone johns
Sometimes you have to put the other eye in!

Peter Sterling for sure.
How the hell did Andrew (sniff) Johns become an immortal over other great players before him? That is a real joke😂 in the rugby league arena 😂😂😂
Alfie langer.
Well - Lockyer should definitely be next - then JT, then Cam Smith - and that is it for now.
Locky and Kenny foe sure. No one else
Sterling??

Try looking up his tackling record..
@@joshuapraeger534 What about it?
@@joshuapraeger534wrestling record ?
Probably the dumbest comment on youtube
Camron smith is diffently an immortal for he changed the game.

They hold or held so many records but they’re only good players according to you
That's a ridiculous opinion 😂
Who should then?
Joke. Only Cam Smith. Immortal is different from hall of fame. Thurston and Langer are not immortals!!!!!
