Don Fox on his knees? Surely the most iconic Wembley image.

Absolutely. The whole episode of that kick typifies Rugby League. He was right in front of the sticks - he should have kicked it. RL is the greatest game in the world - it should be a massive sport.
Poetic. |

| Quote Bull Mania="Bull Mania"Wouldn't like to be the person making that decision. All the names mentioned deserve their place, Shaun Edwards, Clive Sullivan, Robbie Paul, Trevor Foster, Mike Gregory all deserve a place. You could have RL players all the way round the stadium and still have players missing who deserve to have a place.
I personally would choose Lance Todd. Most RL fans know the name, but don't have an image of Lance Todd.
Or maybe, to save arguments, have the a statue of the famous old trophy?
=#FF0000Either way the RFL should be congratulated for organising this,'"
Knew somebody would say this. I agree.
BUT
They need to make a big song and dance of it. Huge event for the unveiling, live on sky sports news with big interviews. Unveil it at a sensible time like in the build up to the final next year or the semi-finals.... maybe do it as part of a big world-cup build up event.
Just lifting a sheet of a statue will do nothing on its own and people will walk past it not knowing what it is unless we tell them through broadcast media.
The RFL need to go to town on this. I'm pretty sure well over a million people visit Wembley each year, they all need to know what this statue is for. |

If thre statue is to be of a player it will need to be a former great who is either dead or past recruitment by RU as a player / coach.
How about How about Vince Karalius passing out of a tackle to Alex Murphy? |

Even as a Leigh fan, that image really, really says a lot about RL at Wembley.

I think we should have a three person statue. One person for the whole sport seems a little light to say the least. Sullivan sounds like a very good start, made his mark in the game for twenty years.
Wouldn't go with Edwards though, he's embraced the other code a little too close for my liking.

Agreed, him, Jason Robertson or Andy 'posh voice' Farrell shouldn't be anywhere near. |

Agreed. It's the one clip you are guaranteed to see every year about the two subjects, rugby league and Wembley. (And not just because I'm a Wakefield fan.) |

This would be outstanding. Perhaps too 'recent' for it to be considered though. |

Don Fox
Iconic, but why a statue of a failure?

I think you maybe right when it comes to not picking a player who got in real deep with rugby union.
Clive Sullivan is a great shout! |

Not failure, just a mark that we are all human, even very fine sportsmen. Or something.
