Some people have said Shaun Edwards but not for me, due mainly to his lengthy career in RU. I know it sounds bitter but I really don't care. Last thing we need is people walking past and saying 'oh look, isn't that the bloke who Coaches Wasps?'



And you want Jonathan Davies. He has spent far more time in Rugby Union than Shaun Edwards.






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

Should be Hanley, not even our biggest fan could argue with that.






The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea,
With a rollocking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boisterously.


His face is weather beaten.
He wears a hooded sash,
With a silver hat about his head,
And a bristling black mustache.


He growls as he storms the country,
A villain big and bold.
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,
As he robs them of their gold.


The Autumn Wind is a raider,
Pillaging just for fun.
He'll knock you 'round and upside down,
And laugh when he's conquered and won.

Didn't Hanley go to union though for a brief spell in the early 2000s?

If Edwards and Hanley are out because of their union links how about Phil Clarke? Wigan and GB captain and an instantly recognisable figure in RL that has not had any links with union.

How good would it be if when you were walking up Wembley way you were greeted with a bronze statue of Phil Clarke in heroic pose with a sword and shield, like the iconic statue of Achilles in Hyde Park:

Around the statue plinth at the bottom it could have an inscription like THOSE WHO COMMIT UNSPORTSMANLIKE PLAY SHALL RECEIVE THE PUNISHMENT OF THE RUGBY GODS, it would be an inspiring message that to me sums up what the greatest game is about.

Move the genitalia up, just above the eyes, and I'll back your idea!

Maybe they could get the sculptor to alter the shape of the genitalia if Wigan reached the Challenge Cup final.

Didn't say I wanted Jonathan Davies. Just one of my most memorable moments and a statue of it would look cool.

Things I learned on 11/08/12

Gareth Hock can't pass
Gareth Hock can't run
Gareth Hock can't fight

I'm assured he can snort a line of coke the size of a Mecca dauber though.
