Quote: silver2 "An old friend of mine reckoned that the dirtiest/ hardest man ever to play RL was Charlie Pawdsey of Leigh in the 1950s. Apparently he used to train with a double decker bus strapped to his back and burst pigs under his arm!!!'"

Charlie Pawsey was universally acknowledged as a hard man in an era which was far more vicious than today when the game is far more sanitised.
He was captain of GB playing NSW and the game was so brutal that play was abandoned when the ref walked off the pitch and never refereed another game. This is what happens when dirty play is not dealt with and players have to take the law in to their own hands.
I only saw him a few times and he did not do anything memorable but, as a kid, I remember that people spoke his name in awe.

Didn't Haggerty once head butt a goat after it had hit him?

Quote: lefty goldblatt "Brendan Tuuta'"



i hated tuuta at cas, i was mortified when it was revealed that we'd signed in him in 98.

that said for the first part of the season, i couldn't fault him he played quite well, then we went to the stoop and kicked out of mark carroll, legally and illegally, it was hilarious listen to carroll crying to the referee trying to get him sent off.

Then he became a penalty giving liability icon_sad.gif

Packs Win Games Great Packs Make All Backs Look Class #onceawirealwaysawire:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_38352.jpg



Quote: Oxford Exile "Paul Hulme & Shaun Edwards- both dirty little to$$ers on the pitch.

As other have said Andy Greg had moved on to Wigan before Roach and Davidson played in our pack. Phil Blake and John Woods were the half backs in that team. Davidson and Blake refused to come back and play in the semi v Wigan at Maine Road. They were both rewarded for their loyalties and given lucrative contracts by Wigan a year later. No conspiracy theories there...no sir.'"

Not completely correct, Blake was refused by the club but promised a release if we made the final. Perhaps it was different for Davidson?
It was following that decision Higham said we will no longer buy a player on a short term contract.
So the next season we raided RU (welsh)

Quote: BrianBradyHandOff "Haggerty took it as a personal affront every time he was tackled...He'd want to fight the tackler. He's near the top of the list of dirty players...He wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer...When asked by an Australian journalist where he was from he said *Link Avenue just off Chain Lane, Blackbrook.'"


The story actually is that he was asked where he was from and said "Thatto Heath". The Australian journo said "Where's that?" and Haggerty replied "Top of Elephant Lane."

There's also the famous wages story.
Haggerty never had a bank account, so was told to open one.
He got a cheque book and a bank card to withdraw money.

Haggerty said "what the #### do I do with this card", to which one of the players told him to get money, he had to go the machine outside the bank, put his card in, and tell the machine his PIN

So Roy walks upto said machine, puts card in, and shouts
