| Quote: tugglesf78 "i always thought that Mick Cassidy was as tough as they come. Dont think i saw anyone ever get the better of him. Ian Robert hammered him with a monster hit in the Wigan v Aus game and Mick just jumped straight back up and played the ball. I could not believe that he just stood up as if nothing happened. You used to watch opposition forwards sucking it in when he was on the park because he would just beast them relentlessly.
Mean dean is an obvious one
Tallis, Paul Harrigan also
some may disagree, but in his pomp Stu Fielden knew how to put it about and i remember him leathering Jason Smith in the WCC for the Bulls. I also remember Barrie Mac coming a cropper after trying it on in one of there legendary scuffles. Brian Noble alluded to it in a post match interview saying somthing along the lines of "not mention anynames, but the master got shown up by the pupil today"'"
The video is on you tube. Fielden decks McDermott with a sweet uppercut. |

Im sure Brett Hodgson would also back that up ![]()
This tackle typified Tallis. Hodgson is hardly the biggest bloke but to just drag him like that and fling his into touch is something I'll never forget. He really was hard as nails.

Kevin Ward had the Aussies respect for being able to look after himself and them for that matter but my all time hero is
Mal Reilly- not only a REAL hard man - a fabulous footballer as well-

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.
Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king"
'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure'
'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it'

Even though I have gone for Brian McTigue, my Dad remembers another one from way back, who he reckons was one hard case who Wigan signed that came from Cumbria, his name was/is, Bill Hudson. There is a [i'caveat'[/i though, as my Dad reckons he was just plain mad !

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

My mam says exactly the same thing about Hudson, but she still reckons Mac was "the man" |
