They are some of the most talented rugby league players to ever play our game. An Immortal in Arthur Beetson, the class of Johnathan Thurston, the intimidation of Gorden Tallis, the sheer devastation of a Greg Inglis run or the touch and deception of Cliff Lyons.

This weekend the NRL celebrates Indigenous Round – a chance for us to look back at some of the sport’s greatest players and how these men have helped mould our great sport.

Secret meetings, “retired” board members and a birthday present Brad Arthur will never forget: How Eels chairman Sean McElduff got it all so wrong
