Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. - Graham Lowe:26316.jpg



Bobby Goulding, anyone? No? How's about Barry Jon Mather?!

Seriously, for those who've said it; why does the fact Edwards is now coaching Union mean we couldn't have a statue of him? Did everything he achieved at Wembley in our game get written from history the minute he took on a job outside of our game? Edwards all the way for me.

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing. We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in. But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg

Just been pointed out to me on the Wigan board. As I said on there, maybe his were the first 2 at Wembley which is where the error has occurred, but I still stand by Greg as my pick simply for being unbeaten in 9 appearances.

If money were no object, and we are allowed a space/plinth big enough, I'd think big, I'd go with 13 players lined up as in a cup final team photo, front row of 6 down on one knee, back row of 7 standing, with the players having their arms accross each others shoulders. Then we could pick players from across the whole history of the game at wembley and show them standing side by side with the trophy in front of them.

With the plinth probably being massive we could use it to write the team winners and lance todd trophy winners for each final on it in an NHL stanley cup style, which could then be added to each year in a PR style.

(everyone would be happy with at least one player then!)

As I said before Don Fox is THE RL image or Wembley. In fact, aside from 1966 and the white horse FA cup final I would say it is THE image of Wembley.

Edwards to me was the most consistently very good player ever but not a great player like some of the players who used to thrash the Aussies in the 50s and early 60s.

Aside from Don Fox, I would say Karalius and Murphy (plus nmaybe Van Vollenhoven) would be great images. Never has a man looked more like what one would imagine an RL player to look like than Vince. He played the game very tough but fair and wan't too bad with his hands. He was Murphy's protector and, of course, Alex was the one of the greatest British RL players ever.

Someone mentioned respect by Australians in the context of one suggestion - Reilly I think. Vince was feared and respected. Nurphy too in a different way. Good player that Mal Reilly was, having seen both him and Vince play the game, Mal was simply nowhere near the class of Vince. Sorry Mal!

Neil Fox is a good nominee - great plyer. Maybe allied to Don if it could be done in a way that worked. I think Karalius and Murhpy could be done in a way that works - in action.

Having said all that, the easy and good image would be a smiling captain lifting the iconic challenge cup. Now which skipper? Vince for Widnes? Murphy for Leigh? Featherstone?

These won't be popular choices perhaps but deserve some consideration:

John Kear dancing on the touchline - was certainly an iconic scene, both with Sheffield and Hull.

Leroy Rivett's four try celebration - can't think of another player whose career was defined by a CC final performance.
