pound for pound rob burrow is the hardest bloke in sl, its a no brainer, moz has said hes one of hardest opponents hes ever faced and that will do for me. Bobby goulding was another hard bstard, ask barry mac!

Has much as i dislike him Sean Long as been pummelled round quite a few Stadiums!!
Always seemed to get up for more as well.

You are kidding? That's not even the worst facial injury I've seen on a Saints player in the last 10 years. Did you not see Paul Wellens in the 2001 Grand Final, or Sean Long after a clocking of the late Terry Newton.

On that note, you ask modern day players, they will say Newton is the toughest they have come across.

Another that u admire the steel of is Petero Civoniceva. Runs all day, gets everything thrown at him, yet still wins the ruck and gets up smiling. Never seen him lose his rag or blow up at the referee, top class prop and a fantastic attitude

Unlike James Graham of course..

If that's the case then Stuart Fielden and Sam Burgess fall into this catergory.

Some players that ain't seen as hard like Shaun Edwards, Martin offiah and them types. Every time they get caught with the ball they had players wanting to rough them up and being dirty in the tackle but they just get up and play the ball with no fuss.

Dean Bell is right up there for me.

Suprised nobody has mentioned Alan Rathbone. I don't remember seeing him play but I'm sure there have been other threads where his 'toughness' has been praised.

Most if not all the old time hookers were 'ard buggers.

Dagnall, McIntyre, Sayer, Kemmel, the list just goes on...

I phrased it badly, I meant an injury and then played on. Wellens' and Long's were definitely worse but they went off the pitch.
