In the TV commentary yesterday, Dave Woods mentioned Keiron Cunningham;s statue at Saints (which, I'm guessing, will be at the new stadium).
That got me thinking about other RL-related statues. I know of a few, but how many are there?
I'll get the ball rolling
Dally Messenger - Sydney Football Stadium (there may also be one of Victor Trumper around the corner by the cricket ground as well - can't remember)
Wally Lewis (looking like he's wearing a big nappy) - Suncorp Stadium
Brian Bevan - that roundabout near the ground in Warrington
Any others?

Worringly, he played for Sheffield after that as well!

But not, as some thought, shoddy rugby
Perhaps you could have a statue of Stevo. Proper Dewsbury legend.

Brian Bevan. The main stand at Wilderspool used to be named after him as well.
Watching the Roosters v Dragons game from the SCG on TV yesterday, they were unveiling a statue of Reg Gasnier. There's also a statue of Dally Messenger right outside the SFS.
