We have numbered the figures left to right. The plaque on the front names the 5 players but does not say which is which. Offiah and Boston can be identified by comparison with photographs on the web, but Ashton, Murphy and Risman - we could not tell them apart. We shared the problem with friends (hoping to find a closet Rugby League supporter) and one gave the problem to AI. This named all 5 and presented its findings with utter confidence. However, it said no 4 was Gus Risman and that no 5 was Billy Boston, neither of which was believable, so we could not trust any of its findings.

The solution came when we contacted the where Andy Wilson, Head of Media, put us in contact with Professor Tony Collins. Tony gave us definitive identifications for all 5 statues. So grateful thanks to Andy and Tony.

The statue was commissioned by the charity Rugby League Cares and unveiled three hours before the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup final between Hull KR and Leeds on the 120th anniversary to the day (29 August 1895) on which the sport, , was founded.
