True Blue legends inducted into NSWRL Hall of Fame



True Blues Ken Kearney, Ricky Stuart and Harry Wells were tonight inducted into the NSWRL Hall of Fame during the annual True Blues dinner at The Star Event Centre in Pyrmont.

Stuart was a mercurial halfback who helped turn the Canberra Raiders into a premiership force after winning titles in 1989-90 and 1994. He played nine Tests for Australia (1990-94) and 14 games for NSW. He was part of the first NSW Blues team which won three consecutive series from 1992-94. Stuart turned to coaching and won a premiership in his first season with the Sydney Roosters (2002). He also coached the Blues three times (2005, 2011-12), winning a series in his first year.

Well deserved, Ricky should hold a better standing in the game then he’s credited for as a player.

About bloody time. Introduced the 20m spiral and the torpedo punt. Just imagine how many 40/20s he’d have on his record.

Geez he was great to watch

[RedRaider]

Congratulations to Sticky. He brought great rugby union halves skills to Rugby League. What a player.

I thought Harry Wells was inducted some years ago. My bad. Tough, hard centre in his day. To pick a modern center like him, I'd probably go with Jack Wighton. Just hard and always competitive.

[The Nickman]

That's fantastic news, he's still the best halfback I've seen play the game... and that includes Johnathon Thurston.

Possibly even the most influential player in any position (maybe a shade behind Cameron Smith). Injury in the last three seasons really cruelled his legacy.

[Seiffert82]

Yeah, still hugely under-rated. Different halfback to many of the new ones, but his kicking game was as good as any I have seen and he could control the flow of the game like no other.

Well deserved accolade.
