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).

For starters he is in a very exclusive class of commentators you don’t want to mute as soon as they open their mouth. In all seriousness, this man has pretty much done it all.

He is the first ever Clive Churchill medal winner in 1986 for his performance in the grand final against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. Sterlo has gone on to win 4 premierships with the Eels and like the two players before him has a lot of achievements.

Keep in mind he has won some of these awards multiple times. Dally M Halfback of the Year, Rugby League Week Player of the Year, Clive Churchill Medal, back to back Dally M Player of the Year awards (which happens to be rugby league’s highest individual honour), Golden Boot Award, Rothmans Medal and the Ken Stephen Memorial Award.
