In fact, you can narrow that to Wigan, St Helens, Widnes and to a lesser extent Warrington. |

Hackney is 0.28 degrees further EAST than the centre of Hull, so relatively speaking yes Offiah was born quite a few miles East of the Pennines. You might want to give your Geography teacher a slap as they clearly taught you nowt, relatively speaking of course

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. |

NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

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 |

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. |

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 |
