| i need to start a new thread cause my nerves are in bits re gateshead situation.
my idea of a truly hard rugby league player is not an hatchett man or a short fused brawler but more like someone who did the hard yards and never took a backward step.
for that reason my two would be dennis boyd and jeff clarke.
my dad says charlie pausey and stan owen from his days.
what do others think

Fits you definition perfectly. Very tough but not dirty

| Smethurst for me, Timmy Street from the 'new era' but to be honest no-one who plays RL can be called 'soft'

simpsons/simp048.gif I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!
Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

| Can't comment on anyone pre 1980 but since then Tim Street has to be up there. Never took a backward step and later in his career when he had learned to control his temper he was awesome at winding the opposition up then knocking 'em down. God, what would we give for another Tim Street right now.

Totally agree with that GKR, he was a battering ram that wore his heart on his sleeve and always gave his all....(sometimes a bit too much ).
I am sure there are others who can equal/better him but from my memory Timmy gets the vote.
