- NRL to induct a 14th Immortal on Wednesday night in Sydney
A 14th Immortal will be announced by the NRL on Wednesday night and interest centres around whether a past great such as Ron Coote will get the nod, or if modern stars such as Cameron Smith or Darren Lockyer are honoured.
Brisbane great Lockyer was a frontrunner in 2017 to be inducted when Rugby League Week magazine was on the cusp of naming a ninth Immortal, only for the publication to be closed and all its intellectual property, including the Immortals concept, bought by the NRL.
