Rex 'The Moose' Mossop and Harold 'Mick' Crocker have been honoured for their parts in the greatest game of all joining the likes of fellow inductees Frank Hyde, Jack Gibson, Jack Rayner, Keith Holman, Kel O'Shea, Barry Muir and Harry Bath.
Mossop came to rugby league in 1956 after five rugby Internationals and played in two Grand Finals for Manly in 1957 and 59.
He played 9 tests for Australia and went on to carve out a successful television career including a 20 year run with 'Controversy Corner' on Channel 7.
Harold 'Mick' Crocker overcame the debilitating Berger's disease as a child to begin his career with Brisbane Souths leading to 17 games for Queensland before heading South to Parramatta in 1954. Crocker played 15 tests for Australia before retiring aged only 28.
