there's talk of erecting a statue along side Bobby Moore at Wembley to represent rugby league
who would you chose as the greatest player ever and why ?

Alan Prescott after THAT test match.

1958 - Great Britain defeat Australia 25-18 in the second test match at Brisbane with only eight fit players on the pitch. Captain Alan Prescott plays for 77 minutes with a broken arm and match becomes known as ‘Prescott’s Match’

Sean Long = 3 Lance Todds simples

Kieron Cunningham

How many did he win at Wembley?

or even more simples, Lance Todd

That's like giving Osama Bin Laden a Nobel peace prize.

Ridiculous idea, but hopefully it was tongue in cheek.

It would have to be either Shaun Edwards or Andy Gregory.

Probably Edwards for his 11 Challenge cup Final appearances.

If he comes back to league (even as your coach) i'd accept that

What about Eric Ashton.

A one club man as a player and the first man ever to captain a side to two consecutive Wembley Cup Final wins.

(Personally I'd still go with Edwards)

Don Fox on his knees was mentioned on the Wigan board I think and would be a good idea, one of the most iconic images of the Challenge Cup Final.

I hate him as much as the next man but could deny that this is one of the most enduring images too and would make an inspirational statue:


Beyond that I don't feel it should be a 'great player' from history like Edwards, Gregory, Long etc. because they just polarise opinion too greatly between rival fans. It should be a statue that all RL fans can be proud of - even if it is a generic, faceless team or player celebrating with the Cup.

i agree with the earlier poster ALAN PRESCOT for the test wins in Australia
[ as for Martin offiah PLEASE ???????????????????????????????????
