Personally I would have liked to see just either Billy Boston or Clive Sullivan. Clive Sullivan was the 1st black captain of GB/England in any major sport and by putting either him or Boston up there would show how forward thinking and diverse RL is.

I think that colour should not be a factor in deciding. It is meant to be a celebration of RL not of racial breakthroughs.



Whilst it is great that RL has been so forward thinking in such subjects, the statue is to celebrate the importance of RL at Wembley, not the significance of RL in racial equality for sport.

Who created the shortlist in the first place?

Why do people keep saying Billy Boston should have been on it? He's on it!



Great choice, Yorkshire's contribution to RL's history is comparable to that of London and there's no point just picking a Yorkshire player in the name of 'equality and diversity'.

Maurice Lindsay, George Formby, Uncle Joe and Andy Farrell.

Joke of a shortlist, joke of a final decision.



I was hoping that this statue would be something for the RL community to be proud of, a fantastic opportunity to lay a permanent reminder of the great sport of RL.



Instead we have a group of our souls.

Indeed, everything would have been so much better if the George Hotel was somewhere in Lancashire.

Saw the Super League show with Ray French putting the case forward for the group statue and totally agreed with it. A good decision.



Complaining about an anti-Yorkshire bias is laughable really.

I am surprised that they chose to not honour anyone from Wigan as well as Yorkshire.



1 cockney, a couple from Wales and 2 from St Helens seems like a good representation to me.

If the statue had comprised of only Yorkshire based players, would that still be your opinion?



Some true greats of the game to be honoured, oh & Offiah

.

No Yorkshire team has won at Wembley since 1999. Long may the streak continue!

Pah. Paltry effort.





I'm sure you know which Fox brother I'm referring to, and it's not the one you brought up, nor is it Peter.
