Over the past few years, the idea of the rugby league Immortal has become increasingly prestigious, with becoming an Immortal the equivalent of joining the Hall of Fame in other sports.
There has been plenty of speculation as to who will be the game's ninth immortal following Andrew Johns being announced as the eighth in 2012.
Here are 10 players who could be named as the next Immortal (in no particular order).
Cooper Cronk
Cooper Cronk has been in the media a lot lately over speculation as to what club he will be at in 2018, but his accomplishments whilst at the Melbourne Storm are to be highly noted.
He is a premiership winner and is highly regarded as one of, if not the best halfback, in rugby league at the moment.
He has won the Clive Churchill medal, Dally M medal and the Dally M halfback of the year on multiple occasions. The fact that there is this much talk around where Cronk will be next season just goes to show how much of a commodity he is.
Cronk, along with Cameron Smith and Billy Slater, has led the Melbourne Storm to dominance over the past decade and their legacy will never be forgotten in the great game that is rugby league.
