Try looking at the records and tell me that they would be poor choices..

| I've no issue with Hanley in the slightest even though my choice would be Murphy, Edwards though, no thank you, build one outside the Millennium Stadium for him.

not a matter of dragging it up....more a matter of pointing out to a few people what kind of bloke Shaun is.
i still dont think it should be him though.

Perhaps, as a student of the game, you should look at Jim Sullivans story.'"
I can assure you, I have nothing against shaun edwards. As I say, he is a rugby union coach to me; nothing more. I didn't get my heart broken during the wigan run. I see that as a great acheivement, if cheapened by the circumstances. Edwards- good player in a team of stars! Honest, that is my view.
The only rugby player I don't like is bailey.
If there should be a statue of edwards there are two (maybe 3) places it should be. The first is outside central park. The other is outside the millenium stadium (maybe the DW) seen as only one of those is possible (Mill), I would wite to them. It would be more appropiate.
My view seems to have lined up with yed. Hanley and murphy are both good shouts
Who would you suggest, who isn't a former wigan player?
We must remember there are a thousand rugby league stories at wembley that don't involve wigan (and many are better).

Murohy winning three with three different teams (-ncluding a mediocre leigh side against the leeds)
Fox missing that kick
Winng the world cup
There you go four off the top of my head. Still doubt it?'"

| Fox missing a kick? Failure over triumph?
Only in England, get a grip.

| Never said it was a heart warming story but it beats 'only pro team buys best players and shockingly wins loads of stuff'
Face it the Murphy story sums up the spirit of rugby league far more than almost anything else.

But Leeds didn't win any major trophies at all when they were the only full-time team, never mind at Wembley.

| It has to be a Wigan player and that Wigan player is Shaun Edwards.
