Bump.

Why hasn't he been inducted yet?

Slightly OT- this hall of fame could be massive in a couple of years time if players are included. When the likes of McGuire, Sinfield, Burrow, JJB and Bailey reitre there will be a case to be made for adding them all to the HOF.

That's not to mention Senior and Ali who have left the club but will still go down as legends.

Makes you realise just how good the past few years have been for the club!

ABSOLUTELY

I have a copy of the 2004-ish '100 Greatest Players' book. A good number of players from our recent successful period would get into there. What's really sad is that in that book they include the likes of Trevor Paterson (very good, but for less than a full season when we won nowt) and John Gallagher and Eric Grothe more for the fact they were big names than anything they did on the field.

Hopefully the 2020 version will have got rid of all of the makeweights. As it is, you'd have to add Senior, Sinfield, Burrow, McGuire, Diskin, Bailey, JJB, Senior, Ali, Hall, Peacock and probably Ablett, Webb, Leuluai etc. Would Buderus be in there? What about 4-time winner Kirke (lights blue touchpaper and retires......)?

Just to bring some balance to this argument, do you remember Huddersfield under Smith, not sure what their penalty count was but I bet they weren't one of the lowest, in 2003 they were the dirty gets of SL with guys like Jim Gannon, Jamie Bloem in the team

I had the 100 greates players ,but its one book I discarded

I'd like to give this thread a bump. Despite these being our glory years it seems the door is shut on our hall of fame! Was it decided Bluey (the first coach to ever bring Leeds back to back success) doesn't warrant inclusion? Possibly because of his 3rd season disappointment? Surely guys such as Keith & Ali deserve to at least be considered too. Could inclusion in the SS hall of fame be a voted for annual thing (one per year)?

Just a thought

Surely all three will be at some point.

good idea. senior and bluey should be inducted without a shadow of a doubt

I'm shocked Senior isn't there to be fair

All 3 should be in there along with Webb imo.

We'll take a look at additions to the Hall of Fame over the close season. I will be looking for any more nominations which I will then shortlist and contact the main advocates for arguments as to why?

The only rule is that they must have completed their Leeds playing or coaching careers. There is a very large group of players within a few years of retirement who will undoubtedly be considered once the finish playing.

I look forward to being consulted.

Can any of the obvious be left out?

Where is the link (too lazy to look, sue me)?

Is Ali in there? Because he blinkin' well should be!

I would also like to nominate academy product, 4 time GF winner and Harry Sunderland trophy winner Matt Diskin if he isn't in already.

If they're both in, please carry on as you were.

'kay.
Thanks.
Bye.

got to be retired mate, although disko may as well be!

What SS.com actually said was:

=#0000FFThe only rule is that they must have completed their Leeds playing or coaching careers.

While it remains highly unlikely that we will see McClennan, Senior, Lauitiiti or Diskin given new deals at Leeds is it too early to rule it out completely.

I would like to put forward Francis cummins because he spent his whole playing career at Leeds and scored a lot of tries in a less successful era. As well as five years involved with Leeds as an assistant coach. In my opinion he at least deserves a nomination

Thought they just had to be done playing for Leeds?

In that case, I suspend my request for a couple of years!

Kazzy....is that you?

Bluey with 2 SL titles 1 LLS and a WCC should surely be in by now and a case be made for the likes of Senior and Diskin who are now officially retired.

Did Senior ever 'officially' retire out of interest?

Don't think he did but at 38ish and no game time for a few years i would imagine he is done.

No doubt, wasn't expecting a comeback
