| Enforcers for me would be nickle, scully, both mcdermotts, Farrell could do it at times. But basically. Guy who will front up. Then there are the cheap shots. Davidson springs to mind, newton, I would say Bailey but I don't think he is dangerous.
There are others.
I've never been a fan of a dirty player. Push the rules fine. Be aggressive fine. But psycho does not do it for me. From the minute Davidson used take the field my only tthought was what damage will he do.

| Quote: Judder Man "There is a fine line between enforcers and thugs, historically the goons do encourage the stepping over of the line on a regular basis.
Newton for example could have broken the jaws of Gardener, Gilmour and Long in just one match, luckily he only managed to do it with the one player who now has facial problems for life.
Smith the forward was another example who was warned in the NRL about his raising of the knees, goons came along and signed him so he could carry on his thuggery, the end result was a career ending injury to the shoulder sockets of John Stankevitch had to stop plaing the game 5 years before his time.
Finally we had the goons signing up Madge for his dirty techniques campaign, up to then we never heard of the "chicken wing" and "cannon ball" tackles which can put a player out for a season or career.'"
Spear tackle on John Gallagher, or did that slip your mind?

I think we also had the infectious Pongia incident which the Wigan club kept quiet until a certain player leaked it out by accident and the player was shipped out to another club.

Pongia played for three months after being found to have Hep B.
Didn't play again after it was revealed, Luke Rob allegedly got shifted on for disclosing the condition.

| I remembered the Hep B, it was in regards to the spear tackle where I've lost track of the conversation.
Just seemed a weird tangent?

| Enforcers: Paul Sculthorpe, Andy Farrell, Brian & Barrie McDermott, Jamie Peacock, Adrian Morley
Thugs: Michael McIllorum, Ryan Bailey, Terry Newton, Leon Pryce (Younger days with Bradford & Saints)
There's a big difference between those two sets of players.

| Kevin McCormack's Rugby Career was finished by the Dirty action of a so called enforcer who played for Wigan.

No, he did his shoulder tackling Craig Smith.
