I hope a heritage panel is appointed to put forward a list of candidates and then have an input on the result.the only problem I have with Edwards is when he is mentioned on thr media people listening think RU .I think it will be a wigan player ,my two choices would be Jim sullivan or Ellery Hanley,still the games most well known player.Please dont mention poor Don Fox he never recovered from that and his family say it contributed to his condition and carried it to his grave,but his brother Neil would be a fine candidate the games point scoring record holder

If it's a Wigan player it's Hanley, not erm errr erm offiah and not Edwards the unionite, Hanley played for GB too so his Wembley ties are strong.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

It's not Shaun Edwards fault that the RFL were (are) incompetent and couldn't see his value to the game so more or less forced him into RU. |

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

| I like the idea of Offiah on his knee's (  ) with his head in his hands, being immortalized as a statue. |

Having had a think about it, probably the least contentious and most appropriate statue would be this onehttp://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b8/Jimbo70/Sullivan.gif" >

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

Ask Bradley Clyde if he'd pick Edwards?

He was the first player to win two lance todds (ok Longy has done 3 but none at Wembley), first to win 5 challenge cups and first to play in 8 finals. Greg all the way for me.'"
WRONG... It was Gerry Helme! |

Absolute tosh!
No matter how you 'spin' it, Edwars didn't just turn his back on RL, he took up ranks with an organisation intent on killing it!
For that reason alone, it would be an absolute travesty if he was even considered for this once-in-generation honour.
Hanley would be an iconic and fitting choice, but blotted his copy book with Union dalliances, so it's Andy Gregory for me in view of his astonishing Wembley record! |

Most statues are of people who has died (unless you are from St Helens).
My choice would be Mike Gregory.

Were his at Wembley though? Maybe that is where the error has occurred? |

You're seriously basing your 'facts' on something from wikipedia? You may be right but it's the least credible source you can ever back anything up with, mainly due to the fact that any moron can contribute to it. |
