Darren Lockyer statue unveiled at Suncorp Stadium

[gUt]

Barry Gommersall should get a run. Did more than any other individual to help Queensland's cause...

With a statue of Paul Gallen whinging at it.

The amount of NSW butthurt in this thread is staggering.

I couldn't think of a more deserving player to be cast in Bronze.

Darren Mapp?

Good to see Q'land showing top respect for RL players. What statues are there outside the SFS of NSW RL players?

No statues. Quite a few former Australian, NSW and QLD greats on the walk of Honour though.

Arthur Beetson for a start

Sam Backo with a sheepish look on his face and hand over his mouth mid interview needs to be cast into bronze...................

Sorry there's no statues outside the SFS? You mean like Dally Messenger statue that's in the middle of th walkway as you enter the gate?

There's a statue of Reg Gasnier outside of the SCG as well.

I'll be at shark park Sunday, I'd like a statue of ET to be placed in front of the new stand there.

Still one of my favored venues to watch rl, except when the mossies are up.

Been a few years since I've been to the SFS (06). Last time I went it wasn't there. Great to hear he's got a statue. Wouldn't mind a Artie andFittler one.

Still more statues of RL legends then in Perth......

Columns of Golden Heroes.

Might need to relocate Wally to the top of the Stadium.

Well the following have grandstands named after them at current NRL grounds.


Johns
Ettingshausen
Cronin
Thornett
Arthurson
Fulton
Menzies
Meninga
Daley

A little more prestigious then a statue...

No doubt have missed out some too.

Ray Price apparently has a statue at Parra Stadium too.

:lol: @ the more prestigious.

Going by that logic, what would you say about Lockyer having a highway named after him?

 

[East Coast Tiger]

And a valley. He's such a legend they even named it 100 years before he was born.

 

[beave]

I think this little fella needs a statue built at Suncorp, preferably in this pose

Let's not speak of his handling errors though.......

 

[Chip Bayless]

From the picture's I've seen the Lockyer statue is a beauty! I look forward to seeing it up close at State of Origin in 2012.

p.s. I am still a little miffed as to why Allan Langer never got one. Alfie was great for Brisbane, Queensland and Australia and in the early 90's had as much fanfare as player past of present. He literally was the King of Brisbane.

The finishing touches are being put on The Dugan's statue.

 

[Jason Maher]

Alfie is still playing...
