Brett Dallas, the hits he took and the way he'd run it up the middle, a joy to watch!

i always thought that Mick Cassidy was as tough as they come. Dont think i saw anyone ever get the better of him. Ian Robert hammered him with a monster hit in the Wigan v Aus game and Mick just jumped straight back up and played the ball. I could not believe that he just stood up as if nothing happened. You used to watch opposition forwards sucking it in when he was on the park because he would just beast them relentlessly.

Mean dean is an obvious one

Tallis, Paul Harrigan also

some may disagree, but in his pomp Stu Fielden knew how to put it about and i remember him leathering Jason Smith in the WCC for the Bulls. I also remember Barrie Mac coming a cropper after trying it on in one of there legendary scuffles. Brian Noble alluded to it in a post match interview saying somthing along the lines of "not mention anynames, but the master got shown up by the pupil today"






What's the rumpus, Tom?

The fight between Gorden Tallis and Terry O'Connor in '97 was a beauty.

What about Alan Prescott playing for about an hour against Australia in a test match with a BROKEN ARM because no subs in those days. Also a Gentleman by the name of William John Boston was no slouch if the occasion arose. :CLAP:

How about hardest half-backs - Andy Gregory would be a good candidate. He was more than happy to trade punches with the biggest forwards....
