You’d think Scott Prince would be in the running?

@helmesy yeah can’t be far off you’d think. But whenever these two are mentioned ( Prince Lafranchi) I always reminisce what could have been seasons 08-11

I agree. Thrown away so they could waste their time/talents at the Gold Coast 🙄

He brought fans to the Wests Tigers via the footy show and through the gate. Not the best winger we had but brought coverage to the Wests Tigers.

Would love to see Darren Senter get a nod in the future. All heart for both Balmain and wests tigers, it was sad to see him retire one year too early and not get the rewards of finals footy.

Surprised Gareth or pat richards haven’t received anything yet. Not sure what the criteria is though.

Gareth is the real glaring omission for me.

Beau Ryan??? You’re kidding!! Bloke was a pretender as a footballer and not funny, witty or clever as a tv personality. He also put crap on the club when he left. How he’s a member let alone life member is beyond me. Up there with Jordan Rankin and Pita Godinet when it comes to contributing to on field success

Only WTs could give a run of the mill winger a life membership and overlook a premiership winning skipper/Clive Churchill medal winning player 🙄 don’t even get me started on how Ellis isn’t there.

 A little mystifying,and glaring omissions who should be in front of him,although he was a 100 gamer which in our limited history is something of an achievement.Have to agree with you TigerSteve,an abysmal comedian,but thought he played above his weight and was a pretty respectable winger without being a world beater.Give me a Gareth Ellis any day though.
