Yeah, but one brilliant try hardly compares to 11 finals and 9 wins.

Thank God I'm not the only one who thinks that about Bobby Moore. Think the group rep statue would be more suiting.

You cant say that, in your opinion maybe, but there are lots of other great tries scored at Wembley, its all subjective.

I know it may not go down well with other clubs, but considering our Wembley record, and his repute in the game it would be Billy B. for me, but the full group would be ace.





Rock 'n' Roll.

I recall him walking over the pitch from the dougie stand to the players tunnel when with saints, and some 'card' tried to throw ale over him.

Murphy just laughed !

I like Murphy, a great player and character.

I have a memory of someone throwing a pie at him. Wonder if I;m confused and it's the same incident or something different.

Why is 'group representation' in with a chance?
IIRC that [uwas not a choice[/u when voting, so how come it has appeared now? I bet this is the way they go now.

We are out with Alex and Alice next Wednesday for a meal, he's always good craic.

Without biase I think the group statue should be that of some of the Wigan players from 88 to 95, it's got to be, that feat will never be matched. Picture Edwards, Offiah, Bell, Robinson etc maybe 5 or 6 players holding the challenge cup.

Other fans won't be happy but tough, the records and achievement is there to see and should be rightly acknowledged.

I hope they do. A group one would look brilliant and would probably gather more attention.

It also gives a rare chance to acknowledge some of the greatest players to grace our game outside of the small media boundaries that we unfortunately have.



Murphy might be arrogant, but if I was considered by many of my peers to be the best of all time at what I do, I'd be arrogant too. I've always said, it's not arrogant if you can back it up.

If it's group rep then it should show some iconic Wembley images:

Wasn't it voted the greatest Wembley try?

Yeah but Rangi Chase and James Roby were voted Man of Steel and I bet you don't agree with that.

Course I do. Rangi Chase was by far and away the best player last season and even the most one-eyed Wigan fan can see that.

Who by ?, if we had a vote on here for Wigan's greatest ever player and only 50 people bothered to vote and 45 of them said Denis Ramsdale would he be our greatest player ?, of course not, its not possible to say any try was the 'greatest' ever, or which player was the 'greatest' ever, all you will get is different peoples opinions.




p.s. Which was Latics greatest ever goal ?...............................in your opinion !!!!!

That's hardly a fair comparison, we've had far more great players than they've scored goals...

True, maybe I should have asked which was their greatest ever throw in !!!!

Anyway, I want that 101 greatest throw ins (and a corner) DVD back that I lent you.

Can't you let him keep it for a couple more days?
It's working wonders as part of his Insomnia Therapy Treatment!

After watching in several times, I don't think it was a corner, the ball definitely comes of Harry Lyon's shin !!!

Chip paper mate. Corner was given and it was a cracker

Why not a statue of Lance Todd with the names of the trophy winners over the years on the plinth. Although Lance Todd was a Wigan player, this is less of an issue than his role in establishing Rugby League in New Zealand and his contribution to the game here in England. The "Lance Todd Trophy" is synonymous with rugby league and very much so with Wembley. It covers a large part of rugby league history and by including the winners, it encompasses the family of rugby league and does not show bias to any club. Reading this back it sounds far too in depth - so it looks like we have a big mouth from Thatto Heath, who, yes was a genius, yes did have his moments at Wembley, but he was also a controversial player and coach who was well able to bend the rules when needed.

I disagree with having Lance Todd, it's a cop out to not offend anyone who supports another club after all Lance Todd has the MOM named after him.

Had a look on Super league’s web site, seems it’s going to be Alex Murphy!
