Congratulations to jamie on his MBE good to see players been recognised in our game.

and Bev Risman

Congrats to both

well deserved a true legend of the sport and a great role model

Im all for RL getting the respect it deserves in a wider audience and good luck to Jamie Peacock comes across as a nice bloke....but leg end and role model....mmm NO....

JP sums up what I love about old school British props. Just batter in there, and there is no such thing as a backward step.

He's been leading by example for a good number of years now, never takes a backward step, never gives less than 100%, and is looked up to by all his fellow pro's, sorry but this man is a legend.

Not knocking the bloke as a player...depends on what you call legend ?...Wally Lewis, Darren Lockyer, Ellery Hanley, Alex Murphy, Neil Fox yes.....I respect any player who is good enough to get paid for playing RL...the blokes a good honest trier no world beater no legend just a good honest pro.

The players you mention are all legends I agree who were all blessed with great skill, kicking handling speed ect. but rugby league is a team game and you need players who can do the hard yards. Every time I see Jamie Peacock he invariably makes some great yards for his team when their backs are against the wall and to do this year after year at the top level puts him in legendary status.
