How far South do the Pennines extend, relatively speaking?

Doesn't matter in the sense of absolutes when we are talking about East West rather than North/South comparison with regard to the original statement. Hackney is farther East than where the Pennines lie geographically, if you'd care to counter that statement..crack on, it will make interesting reading

Its great news that there'll be a RL statue at Wembley. I think the decision to have the 5 players incorporated in the design to capture the spirit of Rugby League is perfect.

Might be 0.28 degrees East but Hackney is still South of the Pennines

Should have had Hanley I agree, so much more representative than Offiah.

Hanley was the better player, Offiah the bigger personality. Serves Hanley right for being miserable whenever on camera!

It is both South and East of the Pennines, see your geography aint all that is it fella

if you had bothered to read the original statement in absolute terms Offiah was born Eastwards of the Pennines as well as being more Southerly
Okay, just to make it easy for you to grasp, think of this, Warrington is geographically 'further' South than Leeds, Widnes even more so, they are both more Southerly AND Westwards geographically of Leeds. Comprenez?
You cannot change the lines of longitude & where towns lie just for your own convenience/arguement

Good job i dont sail a Boat for a Living

Neil Fox was an even better player. And pleasant with it. And a Lance Todd Trophy Winner (1962) I can't believe Offiah's included and Big Neil isn't.

isn't it just otherwise there would be real cause for alarm

sailing a boat doesn't give you any qualification for knowing where you are going or how the East/West thing works...just saying



All joking aside the slight Lancashire bias in the choosing of the players for the statue I don't agree with personally, not because any of the players don't deserve to be there (Offiah aside) but because I don't feel it can truly represents RL as a whole as there are far too many facets of the game to cover.
As I said up thread, a statue of 2 players (or more) in contact/action as it were would be better, something that grabs an essence of what the game is about rather than showing actual players.
that way it appeals to all fans no matter where you come from or who you support.

Like if they decided to erect a statue outside Twickenham of a winger stood looking bored, and a spectator eating a prawn sandwich?

Have a rep from each club. HKR can have an Aussie

They couldn't have anything other unless they want the kit man as their rep?
