| looking at both those pictures, the important thing is not the person, but the feeling the person is experiences
more artistic and less arguments about the club/personality involved
get it commissioned!

Imagine those two iconic images back-to-back on the same podium. It would be incredible. Tell me of another sporting statue that you know of that exemplifies the drama and entertainment of its sport. I can't think of one because usually their just boring portrait statues. It's also a bridge between the old part-time RL and the foundations of the professional era. It's absolutely perfect and whoever thought of the idea first should be applauded. Bravo!'"
Both sides of the Penines represented too

Let's not miss this opportunity. We need to send a petition to RFL [udemanding[/u that this one is used.

| Quote Keith Swiftcorn="Keith Swiftcorn"Given the rich historical significance between RL and Wembley Stadium which took place pre-Super League, the statue needs to commemorate a Rugby League event/individual from that former classical era.
There is no commemorative place for anything from the Super League era since the relationship between the game itself and Wembley has been downgraded by Super League's obsession with itself to the detriment of everything else in the game. [uNothing of note has taken place at Wembley in Rugby League terms during the Super League era anyhow.[/u
The Fox/Offiah idea is a good one BTW.'"
Apart from the historic occasion of a French team and first non-English side reaching the final of the Challenge Cup, you are right

| I am going to be biased on this and Say Fox and only fox. His lengthy career was when rugby was more widely competitive as a whole and has contributed more to Rugby league than Offiah. Don't get me wrong Offiah was a good player but was part of a Wigan team that dominated rugby league at the time. Fox could only be described as a selfless player our contributed in every aspect of the game. I know some people will say that it's about Wembley but for me Fox is deffo deserved of this. Didn't Offiah also come RU back ground as well. Think Fox has an MBE as well?

As an exercise in barrel-scraping, you've succeeded right there.

We should be honouring the game not an individual player.

| Anybody know any important emails at the RFL that I can contact with reference to mentioning the Offiah/Fox statue. PM please if you can as I'm keen to ensure we can an artistic piece befitting our sport and not just another congratulatory and anonymous lump of something.
