Immortal voices FRUSTRATIONS over consultation snub: Freddy & the Eighth - Ep19 | NRL on Nine

[@NokunokuLavea]

Sam Burgess tried to get the senior players at the time to take accountability when it was tough goings and the club turned their on him then put plan in place to out the coach

[@CasperFGhost]

As a Souths supporter, I wholly agree with this.

[@shedwork]

Good your back best footy show on earth. Major disrespect from the NRL in not having the living immortals involved in the decision making process. Go the Dragons!

[@Scooty_Scooty]

My pick for Immortal is Glenn Lazarus. Only player to ever win a premiership with 3 different clubs.

[@Raymond-bg2fu]

I think he’s even with Cooper Cronk. Really good, without being immortal

[@aaroncork3698]

It's a conversation that needs to be had

[@parkerhal]

Lazzo was the best in his position of his time and probably ever. Cronk was not. That's a massive difference between the two.

[@Knightmair19]

locky got more aura

[@parkerhal]

@Knightmair19 what's aura got to do with it? Anyway according to players who played with either it always seems to be a higher percentage talking about Lazzo and he was the generation before!

[@ohwhye]

Good to have you back boys.

[@flyingfish6903]

The same Manly that just got rolled by the West Tigers boys? That's your September dark horse? 😂

[@bernardmcmahon2383]

Yes my 2 uncles were identical twins Bernie & Brian( both well known boxers & boxing officials), married 2 identical twins Pam & Pauline, lived next to each other in Bankstown & coached boxing from their shed for many years. Incuding some future world champs. Theirhouses were the same & had no fence between. Great men both of them & were well loved & respected by the boxing world(hall of famers). Brian passed away & Bernie is in a home now. Both passionate League fans Parra for Brian & St George for Bernie( who I am named afetr)

[@ronaldmusk4996]

It is disgraceful to think Johns Lewis, and Meninga were instilled as Immortals ahead of Ron Coote. While the Channel 9 employees I believe are entitled to be immortals, Coote should have been recognised before youth

[@chippynz5564]

Queenslander and Meninga fan. I don’t think he is an Immortal.

[@lloydsingline340]

Agree,Ron Coote was the best lock ever with extra speed over Johnny Rapet.I'd have both in my greatest Kangaroo side.

[@lloydsingline340]

​@chippynz5564 I am blue and I think Mal Meninga was the most damaging centre ever to play the game.I'd have Reg Gasnier alongside him in the greatest.Meninga is a legend in England. The Poms hated playing against him - not that he isn't a legend here.

[@TrevorByrne-r6f]

How can a confesses drug user ie john be even considered as an immortal I don,t think so same a pearse and Mitchell what a disgrace

[@TheChaseCard-xb1ss]

Typical Freddy Bias to Roosters, Sea Eagles came within 4 points of Roosters with several players off injured during the game. Nobody is giving the Sea Eagles a shot, they have beaten all those top 4 sides, and now we have a full squad just about, Manly Is coming for the Goodies.

[@scottcassidy3273]

@@TheChaseCard-xb1ss 🤣 if only you could imagine losing to the tigers before you wrote this post. I agree manly are a side full of world beaters but like the dragons they lack consistency like the big 3 teams

[@MotivatedMan]

Look we can all whinge about who is on the selections for the Immortals, its stupid it should be previous Immortals or at least be spoken to about it. But they chose Ron Coote and he absolutely should have been the pick they didn't get it wrong. Im a huge Storm fan and had they of picked Smith/Slater it would have annoyed me as well.

[@Swip3rr]

Joeys ADHD in full effect this ep, cracks me up so much

[@Wade-zr8bl]

Melbourne imo have to find a way to get Wishart into the game more. I know Munster is an amazing player but play Wishart most of the first half then imagine Munster coming on as an impact player? *whistles* He seems to be like the energizer bunny lol They win GF. Penrith - I don't think they will win the premiership this year, not because they don't have the ability - they 100% do - just I think injuries, I guess they were steaming along with Luai in control? Could the prince lead the kings army to victory? - a player that I believe can do that is Luai. Dragons - my team, gonna win GF haha 😅 - I can dream , just happy they are doing so much better and hope and believe they can make the 8, great turn around year anyway. Roosters - if they make the GF then it's all on, Sam Walker leading them to victory. If they get past the Semi , I assume it will be against Penrith or Melbourne, hoodoo match. Maybe not this year bois. Bulldogs - I think lose to Melbourne in the finals or possibly GF. They can def make the GF, don't think they can beat Melbourne. Manly - I'm just not sure, can def seeing them making the Semi, if they make the GF I would support them, if they get there they can do it. (Assuming it's not vs Dragons lol) Unknown. Cowboys - they've had really strong performances followed by sub par performances, they def seemed to get more into rhythm after origin. Could do a big upset then fizzle out. Sharks - win, lose, out

[@scottcassidy3273]

Love your take mate and wish you weren't joking about the dragons 😅

[@bradmakap]

Oh when the Saints🔥🐉

[@Wade-zr8bl]

@scottcassidy3273 I still rate the Dragons highly, on their day they can challenge any team - doing it 3 or more games in a row is where I think this year it will be tough for them. (A lot of teams this yr are capable of producing a game winning performance against a top 8 side - just not consistently hahah) The Titans seemed to lose a lot of close games where they competed strongly and piped at the end early on in the season - unluckiest team in 24 season, they have actually (most of the time) competed well and been consistent over large parts of the season - just happened to lose a lot of close games or games they were in till near the end. (My memory could be wrong but that's how I recall the Titans season lol)

[@youchwb6005]

Tigers V Souths on Sat night on Nine.🤣🤣🤣

[@trevcole-v1e]

If you gave a big say to the most recent immortals, could you be confident they wouldn't vote for their mates, or players from their previous clubs?

[@cerboris521]

They probably would but there would still be discussion about it. It wouldn't be left up to 1 guys opinion.

[@ajm82]

Darren Lockyer was the best 5/8th during his time. One of the most boring league commentator you'll ever listen to but fun to watch on the field

[@AFTERMIDNIGHTFILMCO]

Is Lockyer being selected as immortal? If not that’s a huge mistake

[@Jester.Da.Joker5612]

Lockyer will definitely be an immortal eventually next up should be Sterlo

[@knights162]

The immortal concept went out the window when they named so many at once, crazy that NRL is doing it worse than a magazine did.

[@danielkelly4487]

Not really 14 or of 120 years isn’t so many at all. From now on though I’d love to see only 1 named from every decade

[@lloydsingline340]

[@Friction17]

Bro cmon some of their takes are WILD, Freddy defending the blocker calls was 💀

[@roosters1711]

Why should the immortals have a say. Johns would just vote for his mate Freddy. Lewis and Mal would vote for Qlders. And of course the host always agrees.

[@sharonscott1776]

Hi Joey, the best player GOAT

[@2460speedy]

Why would they have to ask these nupties for their input.

[@roosters1711]

Matt T said Souths v Newcastle would broke all the records as both teams strive for a top 4 spot. He has no idea

[@pdu83]

Why would you ignore those who have played at the highest lvl, also there's nothing wrong with booing.... so long as it doesn't get personal.

If Andrew John is immortal, they by all mean have to make JT an immortal later on. He achieved more than AJ. Stat speak for itself. Both great players.

[@Wade-zr8bl]

If Storm beat Dolphins and Broncos beat Eels by 20, Broncos end round 25 in 9th. Dragons vs Sharks - could go either way assume the Sharks win, wouldn't be an upset - Broncos would end 2 points behind Dragons in 9th with a ungettably better points differential. (-4 Broncos -92 Dragons right now, no way Dragons can get +88 from last few games) Rd 26 Broncos vs Dolphins - Broncos can win. It wouldn't be a surprise if they fired and beat the Dolphins in a thriller i see kinda 26 v 28 scoreline. Dragons v Eels - Dragons have their finals hopes alive, they should beat the Eels with their injuries and confidence. So Broncos finals hopes don't end in Rd 26. If the Eels fire and beat the Dragons (not impossible) then the Broncos would move into the 8 with their better points differential. Otherwise stay 2 behind with a better differential. Rd 27 - Broncos v Storm , Melbourne could rest some of their stars and give Wishart some extra time. Broncos could get lucky and face a understrength Melbourne. Seems likely. Dragons v Raiders - Dragons season will come down to this game, if they win they make the finals if they lose Broncos make the finals. Basically if you love Brisbane - pray the Sharks beat the Dragons and Storm beat Dolphins this week hahah.

[@Hinzey98]

Stop talking out of your stupid ass, the Broncos are done and will not play finals footy.
