| Not too happy with that list. Too many players of the recent era, when British RL has been alot weaker than it was.
I can see it being Lance Todd - it would tie in nicely with the MOM Award.
Personally, I'd prefer something more evocative of the sport and its Wembley connection. In other words, rather than one man say Vince Karalius being chaired on his teammates shoulders whilst holding the CHALLENGE CUP aloft. Preferably, as captain of Widnes but I suppose it could be for Saints. Could then slip Alex in too. In fact, Murphy and his minder Karalius together would be great.
Jonathan Davies would be awaful. With due respect he had a few good seasons but was not a great. Yes, he scored a try at Wembely (because Mullins was out of position, having niggled at the previous tackle) but RL and Wembley are all to do with the Challenge Cup.
Edwards is now in the Union camp.
Has to be one of the slightly older stagers for me.

This may be a biased viewpoint but surely with all Wigan's success at Wembley, a Wigan player should be selected.

I did think about adding that. Boston or Offiah perhaps? Deal Bell - he's not British though.

Boston would be my choice but I'd like to see a few players involved. Maybe Boston with Offiah etc
