Move over Wally, Locky and Arty. There could soon be a statue of Mal Meninga at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.
Premier Campbell Newman says he thinks it would be a great idea to have a lasting tribute to Test and Queensland great Meninga, who has coached Queensland to a record eight straight State of Origin series wins.
Suncorp Stadium is already home to statues of fellow rugby league legends Wally Lewis, Darren Lockyer and Arthur Beetson.
“If there’s a strong move, if people are really going to give us the feedback that they want it, if the QRL are saying yep, this is something we want to see happen … I think it’s a great idea,” Newman told B105 radio in Brisbane.
