This is ridiculous - so many different votes been conducted, then changed, then added to..... They clearly haven't got the result they wanted in the first place! 
Ask the RFL about their evaluation of junior development - and the changing of the goal posts whilst you're at it!  |

Also the home of the Challenge Cup final since 1929? just a short amount of time to celebrate all the great rugby players that have played there?

| Actually the "Home" of the challenge cup is Headiingley 
And was only first contested at wembley in 1929 some 24 years after the first final 
Plus It think you'll find that since 1929 the CC final has been played at 11 different venues Hardley the "Home" of Rugby League
Wembley is the home of English Football not rugby |

So that makes the Kennington Oval the home of the FA Cup Final, seeing as the first final was played there and not played at Wembley until nearly 50 years after that first one...(of course, when the FA Cup and Challenge Cups were first played for, Wembley was a long way from being planned and built.)

Since 1945 the only break in wembley hosting the final was due to the stadium being rebuilt, over 65 years to me certainly warrants being the home of the challenge cup if not RL, then I suppose it's also whatever suits your argument.

Wembley was titled as the 'National Stadium for Football and Rugby League' (or words to that effect.
It is part ours and our heritage does indeed belong there - and so should.
It is only since the SL started that the cup final, at Wembley, was seen as the pinnacle of our sport.
I cannot believe anyone would not see that it would be right to be commemorated by a venture such as this and my only gripe is the mess the RL are making of the selection process.
Don Fox for me - bitter-sweet memories and THE iconic Wembley moment for RL!

I take your point and will re-iterate my belief that Wembley is not the home of RL in this country and will concede to agree that it can be seen as the home of the CC, however to have 1 competition game of RL played a year (admittedly there were a couple of internationals played there last year) hardly makes it HOME
BTW there have been as many RU games played at the "New" Wembley since re-opening than there has been RL, so should there be a statue of JPR Williams there as well
As I said in my previous post, I do not see the relevance of a RL tribute statue there |
