Just an Idea I had, Most sports out there have an Hall of Fame, wether it be the Hallowed steps of Canton, Ohio where the NFL Legends reside or the gAyFL Hall of Shame at the MCG but to my knowledge there is no one for Rugby.
Basically at the start each month we hold nominations for past Rugby Legends (must be retired from International Rugby) who you think should be enshrined in all their glory. We leave these nominations for a set period of time (say a week) then close them and count. We then tally the nominations and move on to the next phase. To avoid Biasness, the top 2 Nominations from both the North and the south will move onto the next phase, with a wildcard alternating month to much for a 5th one (one month it will be the 3rd most nominated from the SH, then the next month it will be the 3rd most nominated from the NH and so forth).
In the next phase we open a poll for each one of the 5 Finalists, each poll will have two options - Yes or No. For each vote, a valid reason has to be given about why He should or should not be enshrined... only valid and reasons with a point will be counted (so no OMG HEZ ENGLAHS SO HE MUST SUCK LOLOL). To be enshrined you have to recieve a certain % of yes votes (for Baseball its 75%, but I was thinking something along of the lines of say 60%).
If the nominee recieves the set number of vote then in a special sub forum their biographies will be posted as well as photos, famous quotes and a list of their achievements e.t.c
The reason I thought this was a good idea is because it could provoke some healthy, intelligent and intresting debates, as well as a database for people who are new to the sport to see and learn about the greats who have graced the game.
This is just an idea, and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesnt go ahead, just wanted to see what the general opinion would be, and what modfications/changes could be made...
