Who really is the biggest coward in RL?

Tbh, I think last weekends events shows that anybody at any level who is willing to go out there and face the dangers associated with playing is pretty brave really!

Eddie Hemmings.

He's not a coward he's a clown!!

Very True

Subjective.

Leon Pryce or Lee Briers

Gary Hetherington

There aren't any.

Anyone who is prepared to get their boots on and play RL has my respect.

That includes Leon Pryce no matter what he does off the field.

I don't know, he married Kath. I'd have legged it, myself.

Stuart Cummins and the RFL disciplinary.

It's still Terry Newton. He is the only player I've seen that actually tried to kill someone, not once but several times in the same game. Almost every time he does something naughty, the player he does it to has a St Helens shirt on his back, yet the RFL don't see the link.

Terry Newton is far from being a coward.

Anyone prepared to pull on a pair of boots and face up to guys like Fozzard, Peacock etc running at them full tilt cannot possibly be called a coward.

He may have taken some cheap shots at people in the past, and he might do so again. That doesn't make him a coward.

Quite right, end of thread really.

And that applies right down to grassroots rugby.

What about a player 'choosing' their targets and the manner in which it is done?

Could a cheap shot be defined as an act of cowardice.
