| Quote: citywolf "I think Nat Wood deserves a mention.
Not the biggest bloke but giving a certain James Lowes a battering at Bradford springs to mind.
Also having to jump up to throw a punch at Craig Smith at Wilderspool, but still going at him like a mad man.
Then there was the time he picked a fight with Neil Baynes.
So many good memories, the last of the Real biff.'"
we could always sign Paul Gallen ?

| I would have thought Dave Lyon would beat Penny out a full back
I'm sure we've had some 'aggressive' backs, but they're not leaping to mind .... the pack is another matter with Boyd, Tamati, Rathbone, Nicholas guaranteed places.
Les Davidson should make the bench at least - he may not have been here long but he sure left his mark (usually in the opposition). He spent the whole game battering John Cogger (who fancied himself as a hardcase) at Runcorn in the Cup - it was the only thing that made the match worth watching.
One player who hasn't had a mention, but played a significant role in some of the great battles of the 80's was Tony Humphries - sure he was sent off for butting Adrian Shelford who was making his Pie debut at Wilderspool.
He might not make the final side but he's streets ahead of Louis, Nutley and a few others getting a shout on here.
Lastly, one of my all time favourite Wires, Mark Roberts, he wasn't shy about getting stuck in, usually because he'd just been clotheslined. Quality player, but almost definitely outside the final 17.

| John Woods used to like a bit of biff, IIRC. And I'm fairly sure Brian Johnson wasn't shy of getting involved in punch-ups, either.

| Joe Price - He used to love to reminisce about his reputation
Sir Les
Nicko
Rathbone
Tamati
Ouch!!
Remember Dessie and Rathbone playing at Leigh for GB u24's v France and the scrum broke up in a fight. Dessie went to help his mates and the look on their faces as they walked away. Leaving numerous Frenchmen lying on the ground. Job done.
Anybody remember Rathbone getting sent off at the Zoo v Widnes and arguing with the ref? Tamati was on the bench and ran on to get him off.

Remember him punching Ian Potter during a free for all at Central Park while Potter and Carl Webb were whacking each other. Fordy spent the rest of the game trying to keep out of his way while Potter was pushing his centre out of the way so he could defend an area where he might be able get his hands on him. Even the Wigan speccies were loving it. Never see this in a game now , sadly.
(Must have been 82 or 83 can't think which.)

Good call Antro Big Tony did get sent off in that match he was the first one off never one to shy away from a scrap can remember him running in and causing many a fight.
