I think it should be the guy who captained Wigan when they won the first ever RL final at Wembley in 1929.

Ged Byrne? Maybe not.

Richie Eyres got 2 medals when he played for Widnes against Wigan in the 90's. He got a losers medal and got an extra medal for putting 'Offiah' out!! He got sent off remember for snotting poor Martin!

Realistically no contest. Edwards all the way.

Sam Tomkins doing the hand gesture

Andy Greg never lost at Wembley for Widnes, Wigan OR Great Britain.

He was the first player to win two lance todds (ok Longy has done 3 but none at Wembley), first to win 5 challenge cups and first to play in 8 finals. Greg all the way for me.

This shouldn't even be a debate - there's dozens of winners/try scorers from Wembley finals, but the most iconic moment is Don Fox on his hands and knees. The plaque should simply read 'Poor lad'.

I hope a heritage panel is appointed to put forward a list of candidates and then have an input on the result.the only problem I have with Edwards is when he is mentioned on thr media people listening think RU .I think it will be a wigan player ,my two choices would be Jim sullivan or Ellery Hanley,still the games most well known player.Please dont mention poor Don Fox he never recovered from that and his family say it contributed to his condition and carried it to his grave,but his brother Neil would be a fine candidate the games point scoring record holder

If it's a Wigan player it's Hanley, not erm errr erm offiah and not Edwards the unionite, Hanley played for GB too so his Wembley ties are strong.

It's not Shaun Edwards fault that the RFL were (are) incompetent and couldn't see his value to the game so more or less forced him into RU.

I like the idea of Offiah on his knee's (

) with his head in his hands, being immortalized as a statue.

Having had a think about it, probably the least contentious and most appropriate statue would be this one:

Edwards.

Ask Bradley Clyde if he'd pick Edwards?

WRONG... It was Gerry Helme!

Not according to an article I read, but OK

What has it got to do with him?

Quote ="Conroy"Not according to an article I read, but OK'" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerry_Helme

Absolute tosh!

No matter how you 'spin' it, Edwars didn't just turn his back on RL, he took up ranks with an organisation intent on killing it!

For that reason alone, it would be an absolute travesty if he was even considered for this once-in-generation honour.

Hanley would be an iconic and fitting choice, but blotted his copy book with Union dalliances, so it's Andy Gregory for me in view of his astonishing Wembley record!

Most statues are of people who has died (unless you are from St Helens).
My choice would be Mike Gregory.

Were his at Wembley though? Maybe that is where the error has occurred?

You're seriously basing your 'facts' on something from wikipedia? You may be right but it's the least credible source you can ever back anything up with, mainly due to the fact that any moron can contribute to it.

For me it has to be Mike Gregory.

This statue will cause plenty of arguments and petty rows with many opposing fans, but who could argue against Mike.
Great player, fantastic man, great coach and former Great Britain captain.

Mike Gregory and Wembley don't go hand in hand though. Edwards, Hanley, Offiah.... Yes.

...........surrounded by 4 Saints players grasping at thin air.

What about a few statues of The various knock ons that Roy Haggerty did in the '89 final.

Edwards is only famous as a player though and took the buck at union, it has to be someone timeless, Alex Murphy won it 3 times with 3 clubs picked up the LT trophy, something i'm told Edwards didn't regardless of the amount of times he played, Murphy also played for GB when they used to actually beat the Aussies with ease, has a world cup to his name as well.
