My question was:
If you had to take a hit up whilst camped on your own try line, which defenders would you hate in front of you waiting to clobber you?
1: Mozza
2: Gaz Ellis
3: Sam Burgess
(and in no particular order as they'd all smash you :lol: )

Of the overseas players that I have seen:
1: Sonny Bill Williams
2: Tonie Carroll
3: Gordon Tallis


Jeez those three Brits would be like a brick wall!

With honourable mentions to a few of my favourites of the years who never took any shiyte Harvey Howard, Glanville, Senior, and finally, for different reasons, probably similar to Burrow, Danny Buderus - that bloke would put his head anywhere if he thought it was worthwhile for the team.

Edit.... missed off probably the toughest ever - Paul Dixon. He was old school cement!

I’m bored today , how about a hard British team, and why for each player ...

1) Hardaker (always puts his body on the line, tackles anyone who breaks the line)
2) Gaz Raynor (always just seemed pretty tough to me)
3) Chev walker ( was tougher than most blokes at 16!)
4) Senior
5) Dom Manfredi ( strong as an ox and amazing that he’s making another comeback )
6) Sinfield ( how did he play on and win us a Grand Final after being knocked out?
7) Burrow
8) Morley (bossed in NRL)
9) Micky Mac ( hardly flinched after fracture dislocation to ankle)
10) Peacock (warrior)
11) Gaz Ellis ( made of granite)
12) Andy Farrell ( monster of a man)
13) Lockers ( so so tough in defence)

Interchange
14) Fielden ( was untouchable at one time )
15) Sam Burgess ( again NRL hard man)
16) Cunningham ( an absolute beast)
17) Kylie ( don’t run at him)

Coach - Brian Mac

If we are doing teams of people you’ve actually seen play:

Hampson
Drummond
Carroll
Senior
Gill
Hanley
Cooper
Skerrett
McIlorum
Barrie Mac
Ellis
Morley
Sam Burgess






It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

I used to love watching Gaz Ellis tackle. When he hit someone, it was like they run full tilt into a brick wall.






Leeds Rhinos? 8 for you, Leeds Rhinos! You go, Leeds Rhinos.

And none for Castleford Tigers. Bye!

Its hard to say who's the toughest when only an observer but from the older ex pro's ive spoken to the name that usually most was mentioned is Malcolm Reilly.

Looking back, my memories of tough players would include

1. Derek Turner. You would just not cross that guy or he would make sure you ended up in the treatment room
2. Vince Karalius. A scrapyard owner who had no need for a car crusher.
3. Jim Mills. Tough, hard, skilful......a smiling assassin.






50 years a Rhino / Loiner...long may it go on!
