Over the last 50 years my vote goes to Brian McTigue. Wasn't a dirty player but even frightened the Ozzie pack on his own.

You've some idea........

Fortunately I know you are a troll, otherwise that would have been quite funny.

probably my favourite 2nd row pairing - loved watching du toit try and and smash the opposition every time he had the ball or went into a tackle - there was no casually running in and taking the tackle for him.

He wasn't the most rounded rl player but he was hard and just loved knocking players into the ground - which is to be fair , one of the main attractions of watching rl. I think he used to be an ice hockey player in SA so he was used to playing with a bit of aggro in the game.

Watching him play against some of the wire players in the 80's was usually a highlight as they had quite a few hard men in their pack.

Pound for pound though, mean dean has to be one of the hardest players.

Sonny Nickle?

He was nothing but a coward.

I was watching Wigan under 15s years ago. Sean Wane was dishing it out and Jackie Edwards, standing at the side of me, said that he was the hardest player he had ever seen at any level of rugby league.He was a pretty good judge.

As brawlers who liked to mix it up it would be Tallis, Drummond, Roberts, Cullen, Boyd but as some one to play through the tough stuff Bob Jackson, Farrell, Craig Smith, Jamie Peacock, Mike Greg

Supre Kel
Connolly
Bell
Edwards
Goodway
Pongia
Newton
Radlinski (tough but nice fella). Remember the injection in his foot before the final. Ouch

In fact might try and make a nutter 13.

Outside of Wigan and excluding all the usual props I would have to say i would never fancy trying to deal with Keith Senior.

Probably meaning you can't have seen drummond play if you are questioning his inclusion in this thread. In fact i once saw skerret (whilst playing for bradford) actually back off when des squared up to him in a game at wilderspool. Nobody would ever pick a fight with drummond.
