West Country Eagle Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 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?

West Country Eagle Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Keith Mumby in his later years as a Bradford player was statuesque. Worringly, he played for Sheffield after that as well!

thirteenthman Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Who's the statue of outside the Hallywell Jones? It was on the BBC today. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Baptiste Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/reg...i-1225902798750 There is another ex rugby league player amongst those statues.Trevor Allan was a union great who went to rugby in the 1950's. He signed for Leigh for 5,000 pounds and played for four years.He also represented Other Nationalities against England.He returned to Australia to play for North Sydney Bears and afer retiring was a commontater on both Rugby and union. Ex Wallaby coach Rod MacQueen stated that Allan was easily the best centre in Rugby Union,yet despite Allan being honoured with a statue he is still to be honoured with induction to th Australian Rugby Union Hall of Fame. I wonder why,any ideas anyone? I can speak Esperanto like a native. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I know that Leeds are talking to a sculptor at moment about an actual moving one, one idea is of Ryan Bailey, where if anybody over 4ft 5" walks towards him, he does a Jacko moon walk backwards.
