Certainly Mick Shoebottom and Alan Smith should enter the Hall of Fame. In my opinion Ray Batten should already be in and there are others too who qualify like Derek Hallas.

Very pleased that big Arthur Clues has finally been recognised. Just missed seeing him playing for Leeds but had many interesting chats with him. He has been highly rated by so many whose opinions I value and I would have loved to have seen him play. One of the true greats of rugby league.

I agree ,but under the qualification criteria Derek Hallas doesn't get in he has 135 apps same with Ken Thornett 131 apps finest full back I have seen . Both played in our first championship win if that's not fame I dont know what is

It had to be Rob this year, he was always going to be in there anyway, and he may not be around long enough to wait until 5 years retired.

Two MOM in grand finals "that Grand final try", in an already massive highlight real.

Senior, kev JP, Magsy, will all get added when their time is due. JP and Kev probably next year.

I’ll probably get shot down for this, but if people think Barrie Mc shouldn’t be in there, then I’d say Powell definitely shouldn’t. I sometimes think people get a little carried away with how good Big Roy was, no doubt influenced by his untimely and tragic death, and his likeability as a bloke.

And whilst he was a good player, a good honest toiler who had a few standout performances, he wasn’t elite for a long period of time. I’d argue there are players like Carl Ablett who’d be ahead of him on output alone.

I thought todays video was absolutely magnificent. Just superb. Loved that the majority was the overseas legends being able to pay their tribute to Rob, weve not heard from them before. Thought all of them spoke superbly. Webby, Ali, Bedsy and Bluey. God what a tremendous team we had.

Robert is a Hall of Fame player no doubt about it.

Proud to be a Rhino.
