whilst its nice to see a good fight - discipine is key to winning rugby matches, and i would far rather have a set of forwards who dont need to dish it out to prove they are as tough as teak.
tommy, george, prescott, mossop, hoff, hansen - they can all handle themselves. however, its the discipline that helps us.
would you want 3 gaz hocks in your pack ????
it would be fun, but we wouldnt win much
just look at how much better a player cowie was when he learned to stop punching. and the ultimate role model for being tough but restrained is Faz.
