Ha ha, you're talking about [iAlex Murphy[/i and Martin Offiah and you label Offiah as the gobe!?

Murphy was just a rugby gobe unlike Offiah who is an everyday gobe.

to be fair to Offiah...he's a first class agent. Look at the gigs he got worrency

Course it's your opinion and he's not that well known in Aus. If you'd said Mal Reilly, who really is well known down under and considered a great of the game, then you'd have a case but Murphy was one of the best in his era but not the best/cleverest etc of all time, unless that happens to be your opinion. Anyhow, he doesn't deserve a statue to himself. He's got enough of them at home.

Love it, the best thing for RL would be Group Rep.

Sounds like a compromise is needed. I'd settle for a statue of Syd Hynes smacking Alex Murphy. That way the wishes of those who love/loathe Murphy would both be satisfied.

He also lost in 1987 to the mighty Fax

Amazed that even the myopic Pies think that Offiah is in the same class as AJM.
Totally clueless...

Alex Murphy was a rugby genius. That he's not so well known outside RL circles matters not a jot. He's RL through-and-through to this day and represents the sport in a way that no Union convert ( pre or post League ) can ever do. In the build-up to the millennium The Guardian ( national ) ran a readers' poll for the greatest rugby player of all time and Murphy won it, deservedly.

Alex Murphy in his prime best scrum half since Jonty Parkin.
I thought Neil Fox broke Jim Sullivans records.

I was referring to his total length of service to the game. About 40 years at the top level as player, captain and coach.

The fact he captained the first team to win at Wembley in 1929.. He scored the first points at the first Wembley CC final in 1929.

Sullivan still holds the record for the number of kicks in one match - 22 goals.

When Sullivan played we used to beat the Ozzies almost for fun.

Well , it is ridiculous that both Fox and Sullivan are not on the shortlist.
Neil played for 23 years 56 to 79 amassing over 6000 points.
He scored 4448 points for Wakefield.
3 Wembley winners medals, man of match in 62, and two championship winners medals.
He also played in successful GB teams scoring 228 points in 29 tests.
It would of been more as he was selected as captain of the 68 Lions , but a groin injury kept him out of that as well as 68 Challenge cup final.
Would he have of kicked the goal brother Don missed ?
Both Jim and Neil are legends of the Greatest Game
