List isn't long enough. Out of those, I would go for Risman.

Complete joke that Clive Sullivan isn't on the shortlist.
I'll vote for the 'group representation' thing. Hopefully their 'artistic interpretation' could be a broze kangaroo, arms folded with it's foot on a flattened Lion? That would be quite apt.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

Has to be the group for me, preferably Offiah and Fox side by side with head in hands for very different reasons

obvious player is missing from list, only player to appear in and win 8 finals in a row and also in every round of those 8 campaigns...
Shaun Edwards.........
the RFL missed a big opportunity by not making him an offer to coach England.........

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

He was also a winner in the 1985 final and lost the 84 and 99 finals.
9 wins in finals a Wembley, 11 appearances, he also captained GB there. How on earth is he not on the list? |

I understand that the RFL have issued yet another statement, saying that it is pure coincidence that the selection panel for the Wembley Statue are also all on the Committee of the same Working Mens Club in Wigan?

He's a union guy now bud. No place for him on a statue of British rugby league. Put one up in your hometown by all means but let's not desecrate our great sport by celebrating a guy who never won a Lance Todd trophy, despite playing in more winning sides than anybody else, during his teams' greatest period of dominance.
Besides this statue is going to be in a public place so think of the children. |

How world record points scorer,member of RL Hall of Fame, Neil Fox can be omitted is beyond belief.
Also unbelievable no player from Yorkshire.

Outrageous that Edwards isn't there! No point in even voting, without prejudice we all know who it SHOULD be!

Not sure how I feel about a statue of a rugby union coach to represent RL at Wembley . . . . . |

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!: |
|

Edwards may have won those final BUT that was at a time when Wigan were effectively the only professional RL club. No problem with him not being there. Offiah was a one trick pony..flat out speed. Put a decent defense in front of him and he got rid of the ball quicker than anything. Of the individuals listed I'd go with Murphy BUT think out of the options listed a general one is best.
Personally I still think it should have been Don Fox. Lance Todd winner and THAT miss all in the same game. Now that sums up the challenge cup final..... Ecstacy and heartache.

Definitely Murphy, as a player AND a coach.
Offiah as good as he was, is a gobe.
