It's been fun.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44480.jpg



Now i'm not on about players who dish it out, i'm on about players that could/can take an absolute pounding and always come back for more, i know people will say anyone who goes out there is a tough player but i mean the real hard cases that just get up and shrug things off, players like Morley, Monaghan and Peacock?

Who would you go with?

Sparred with Ricky Hatton when Ricky was in his prime, says it all really.

From todays game Brett Hodgson.

Out of all time hard men....Dean Bell. He was like Terminator.

Also Glenn Lazarus 'the brick with eyes'. One of my favourite all time clips was some Aussie forward giving Lazarus a brutal facial, slamming his forehead into the ground at the play the ball, Lazarus just played the ball and got up, didn't even bat an eyelid towards the perpetrator, it was as though he hadn't even noticed, his head just bounced off the ground.

Ellery Hanley, Andy Farrell and Shane Webcke also deserve mentions as does Greg Mackey, the fact he played for so long without missing games, and was only a halfback, says something about his durability.

But I think all players who play pro RL must have something about them for toughness look at Sam Tomkins, gets knocked out by Raynor and comes back in class form a week later.

Sam Tomkins - Can't deny that he is a tough cookie considering the way he gets thrown about.

But in the Morley/Westwood vein I'll go with Oliver Elima.

I don't suppose it makes him tough but I remember when i was a small lad and my grandad took me to watch widnes...... paul hulme, for reasons only know to himself, ran straight into a post. The klang noise echoed all the way round naughton park.... Hulme just stood there... shook his head and carried on like nothing had happened.

"Grandad that player just banged his head against the post"

"Dont worry lad.... where there's no sense there's no feeling"

Also another vote here for sam tomkins.... remember a few years ago when mitchell sargeant put the shoulder into his face nice and late... almost knocked him clean out.. after a few mins treatment tomkins got up off the floor and proceeded to put castleford to the sword with a brilliant hat-trick... we found out that day that you cant smash him up and put him off his game. if anything it seems to make him play better.
