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 bumped into Dave Heron in Anglesey this year, didn’t recognise him at first without his moustache. I ended up having a pint with him. He seemed like a really decent bloke.

Another four being announced on Sunday. I think we can take it as read that Sinfield will be one of them.
For the others, if Jim Brough doesn't get in this time it will be an absolute travesty; the recency bias with this thing is a bit frustrating. I'd round it out with Alan Smith and Ray Batten.

There is usually one from pre war or just after so it should be Brough then Sinfield, Alan Smith I also think it could be Shoey ,but if not I wouldn't dispute Batten

A great selection inducted today -

Jim Brough
Don Robinson
Alan Smith
Kevin Sinfield

Cant disagree with that .for years Robbie and Lewis were the only two with cup and championship medals
