Neil was top of the list on the original closing date, then voting date was extended.

Dare I say the vote should only have been treated as "advisory" and a reflection of the populous of the bigger clubs, not the history of the game. An independent panel should have decided the personalities on the statue based on achievements in the game. But nah, let's have a popular vote and clubs with 10k+ fan bases influence that vote, that won't be controversial will it!

Ha ha! Well played!

This was my vague recollection too. I tried looking online, but couldn't find anything. I think they were published in league express.
Keep repeating the vote until you get the answer you want.
It'll never catch on.

Could well be why some of the Cas greats aren't amongst them as well.

We’ve had some greats, but no immortals Chiss. Fox should have had a statue - no vote or debate required.

Wouldn't you class Hardisty as an immortal (rugby wise)?

Edited...... I was talking crap.

At times like this I like to think I can take my own club specs off & be impartial.
It’s difficult to judge without seeing players play week in week out (& im a realist) so you have to weigh up a few factors such as; stats & the opinions of fans, those who cheered for the player & those who didn’t and whilst I’ve never heard anyone bag Hardisty, he doesn’t get the same attention in the media nor from any set of fans as Neil Fox does - he’s in a league of his own stats wise too. Phrases like world class & a true great are bandied about far too easily in my opinion & there are very few who deserve the tag immortal, but from what I’ve read & heard; Neil Fox does & a statue at Wembley is the least of the honours the sport should bestow on him.

Sorry Jinj; I could have just said that whilst Hardisty is a Cas immortal, he’s probably not a RL one!

I hope he has one in a Wakefield stadium one day.
