Given that Wembley became associated with Wigan's glory run in the 1980s and 1990s, due to the 8 in a row, I think it would be appropriate to have one of the Wigan players from that era made into a statue, so Ellery Hanley or Shaun Edwards for me.

Eleven Challenge Cup finals, nine times winner.

Edwards has to be favourite. It's the bloody RLs fault he is no longer involved with RL, not Shauns.

Exactly why is it the RFL's fault that Edwards is no longer involved in the sport?

Did they impose a ban?

The truth is, he - like a multitude of others with Wigan connections - turned his back on the sport to take up ranks with the enemy.

I, and I suspect many other RL fans, would be absolutely outraged if this once-in-a-generation honour was bestowed on him, no matter how good a player he was.

He shouldn't even be considered.
