| A little gargoyle of Shaun on each corner of the ground would be quite appropriate. Seriously though, Shaun Edwards, with his Wembley record, is the only choice.

| Shaun Edwards would be my second choice but in my opinion he is a Wigan legend whereas Alex Murphy is a rugby league legend.
I do acknowledge the bias in my opinion though...

Edwards has to be classed as a rugby legend (of both codes now) - his heydeys at Wigan coincided with their dominance at Wembley, who comes close to his Wembley record?

| the famous rugby league images of Wembley to me are
Offiahs Try V leeds.
Hanley running slightly sideways for the try against Halifax
and before my time Fox's missed conversion "the Poo-er lad"
Sean Edwards may have played there more than most but he isnt iconic in any way shape or form......
Hanley for me by a mile....(a slightly Camp hand on hips statue but Hanley never the Less)

kin jesus wept........I guess you never saw Hanley play then...
he won a World Club Championship,
4 Challenge Cup winners medals,
3 Championships,
1 Premiership,
4 John Player Trophy Winners medals
and 4 Lancashire Cup winners medals.
Ive not even mentioned his Man of Steel awards, lance todds or golden boot awards.
thats probably not far off Warrington's roll of honour for its whole history.....
but go on fill your boots and nominate Richard Henare or someone
Hanley was the best player I saw and was a whinging niggling get as well which adds bonus points

I imagine Mike Greg would have won exactly what the completely ordinary Billy Mcginty won when he left Wire for Wigan.............loads........!!
even you would have won something playing in that side...
as for Hanleys Bradford Career the first man to score more than 50 tries in a season since Billy Boston and the first non-winger to reach this figure for 70 years.
55 tries in 37 appearances,
he was awarded the Man of Steel award in 1984-85
as well as the First Division Player of the Year.
ps you dont know who Billy Mcginty is do you....

| A bronze statue of Ray French wearing a flat cap, holding a rugby ball in one hand and a whippet on a lead in the other. That should keep the stereotype going down sarf and keep the southerners happy.
