It's impossible to compare players from different eras as so much changes so quickly these days. People will rightly point out people like Artie and Mal R as tough players but you just don't know how they would have fared in the modern game where players are so much fitter and TV cameras etc.. are everywhere.'"
Take your point and for that reason I wouldn't include the likes of Kelvin Skerrett or Les Boyd. Reilly was a different animal though. Could and would dish out the dark stuff when needed but when unprovoked just played the game with unremitting but fair physicality. Would have excelled both then and now. I'd rate Adrian Morley and Gaz Ellis too in terms of hardness.

| Hmmm well I would say
Andy Gregory
Ellery Hanley
Brendon Tuuta
All performed in an era where you protected yourself and your other team mates without compromise!
I remember watching Brendon Tuuta at featherstone against Halifax and BT made a body check tackle as the ball arrived ie man and ball at same time. I cannot remember who he tackled but he went down like a sack of poo and was taken off pitch with tweety pie flying round his noddle, whilst the crowd chanted “You’ve been Tuuta’d” but off the pitch thoroughly nice guy

I recall Syzmala from around 1980 to 1982 ish
He was a seriously dedicated body builder at that time and he was certainly ripped
He certainly stood out as an athletic and fit guy,especially at that time when training wasn't taken all that seriously with regards to gym sessions and especially from the clubs whose normal training sessions were 3 laps round the pitch and a game of touch and pass followed by all of the boys having 8 pints down the pub.

Always seemed to hide behind others when it kicked off.I remember Lee Radford offering him a charity boxing gig against him but he declined
