Throughout the tournament, the League of Giants will make a huge impact on fans as you get up close and personal with these legends in Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane.
This is a mighty celebration of the courage, honour and strength of our players - get amongst ‘em!

Is the statue modelled from a person?
Yes! The player used was Patrice Siolo, who works for NRL Central in Sydney. He currently plays for the North Sydney Bears. Patrice has played for South Sydney Rabbitohs and Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks. He plays at second-row and lock. He was required to hold the pose for 3 minutes while a scanning device captured the detail required to create the print file.
