Alex Murphy. The greatest player produced by this country. Had many memorable moments at Wembley and revered around the RL world.

Actually after actually really thinking about this i'm going to go for Mal Reilly, winner of the Lance Todd, played and coached GB, won a world cup, did well in Oz. Mal deserves a statue and he's well known on both sides of the world.

This, by a country mile. Plaque underneath simply reads 'Poor lad!' |

A two-sided statue, one side Don Fox on his knees, the other Martin Offiah on his knees.

The Davies try was a great moment and Edwards would be a good shout but for me neither as like it or not they are associated with Union now and I dont think its good to have people looking at the statue and then saying 'oh thats the rugby union player/coach/pundit' or for the media to say 'new statue of ex Wigan legend Shaun Edwards and now Wasps and Wales Rugby Union coach'

I'm not actually sure if you're on a wind-up.
The key word here is Wembley. Before you think "iconic RL players and/or moments", narrow your selection to "at Wembley".
Remember now, "Wembley".
