This was the day Toa really perfected the clothes line tackle technique. Renouf really copped a beaut from him.

My favourite bit of biff in that particular game (and there was a lot) was Danny Nutley battering Francis Stevenson.. He was getting hit that many times he couldn't throw anything back ..

He copped two. Toa clothes lined him and should have been sent off but Ganson was lenient, so he then went and clothes lined him again a couple of minutes later and this time did get sent off.
There was a difference between this infamous Wire-Wigan brawl of 2001 and the fights of the late 80s. In the late 80s both teams had tough powerhouse forwards who respected each other and although Wigan had the edge over us there weren't a million miles between the teams. No quarter was given or asked for and the physicality boiled over like it does in State of Origin.
In 2001, we were a vastly inferior side who got frustrated because we were fed up of being bossed about by Wigan. They had realised that Nikau in particular was frustrated with the way his career had gone downhill since joining us and were baiting him and he was an easy target to wind up. Farrell was doing the "mullet hair" gestures to him.

| Warrington Widnes cup match late 1970's
Mudbath. Mike Nicolas and Doug Laughton knocking bells out each other on the half way line. Both off. Kicked off again in tunnel. Paul Woods off (?) Then Eric Hughes stiff armed Ian Potter.
Four off. We won 6-0.
Happy days.

I actually think the one he ended up seeing red for was a legitimate big hit, it was just the fact he had already mullered him 2 min earlier.

| Have a look at the Milwaukee game again if you get chance. Fantastic hits in that plus some great biff.

| Maybe not the best but two of my favorites both involve Chris bridge.
1) When Bridgey dragged Rangi Chase out of play into the advertising board, threw him on the floor, got on top of him and went to town on his face.
2) Huddersfield away bit of an altercation, three Huddersfield forwards stood in front of him. He threw two punches, dropped one, dropped the other and before the third had time to react he had him by the shirt and then everyone else ran in.
Also... It may not be a fight but Moz surely deserves a nomination for THAT hit on Harrison Hansen. everything about it was perfect. Even the way Tony Smith walked don the stair grinning his had of. Pure gold.
