A Nathan Hindmarsh statue would not be complete without a little bum crack showing. 

This is the overwhelming response from Parramatta greats, officials and fans as the Hindy Farewell Tour officially kicks into gear on Saturday night at the ground where a bronze statue - complete with bronze butt - would be situated, Parramatta Stadium.

Stadium Trust officials will consider immortalising the Eels skipper to stand alongside another club legend, Ray Price, who was given the same honour in 2009.

"And if Hindy gets a statue, there has to be bum crack," Eels great Brett Kenny laughed.

"You know that appearance Hindy has at the back end of games - exhausted, pants slipping down . . . mate, that's him."

Retired Eels skipper Nathan Cayless, a close friend of Hindmarsh, agreed.

"I'm 100 per cent supportive of the statue because when people think Parramatta Eels, they think of Nathan Hindmarsh," he said. "The bloke's been the heart and soul of this club for 15 years."

As for the Hindmarsh bike rack being included .

"Well, that's the pose isn't it," Cayless said. "His face too with that look of utter exhaustion. A statue could never do it justice but I can't think of anyone more deserving."

Hindmarsh will retire at the end of the season having displayed integrity, invincibility and more crack than a Pakistani pitch on day five.

As a result, several club insiders last night confirmed they would "have a crack at bronzing the crack", while Pricey urged club and Trust officials to "listen to the fans" when considering the issue.

"There have been many great Parramatta players over the year," Price said.

"And Nathan Hindmarsh is certainly among them
