| Quote: The Chair Maker "Chris "Tosh" Arkwright of Saints was and is a man not to be messed with.
Vila Matautia is another assasin
Sonny Nickle another one not afraid to let loose. Calmed down though after became a dad.
Leeds fans will never forgive him for the shocking challenge on Robbie Mears. Nickle incurred a 9 match ban as a result and Mears also won damages off Nickle in court.'"
Fortunately I know you are a troll, otherwise that would have been quite funny. |

| Quote: Pie minister "One great story I was told was about the 2nd row pairing of Nick du toit and Andy goodway.
Du toit would hit you all day where as goodway would hit you once and you would stay hit.
'"
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. |

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.

| Quote: Last Son of Wigan "Meaning?'" 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. |

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 |

There was a story doing the rounds not long ago about a Wigan player acting the fool!!!!! on Standishgate.
Shaun Wane happened to be on the other side of the street and saw what was happening. It appears Waney went across to the player and had a word in his ear. Things I believe quietened down.

You are right there about Drummond, he is also a black belt at karate as well i believe. |
