Best fighters in rugby league?

[Hutty1986]

Some bloke called Johns i believe?

Not a bad player, that Johnsy

 

[McLovin]

I recall Phil Bailey landing a couple on Webcke in SOO aswell.
Tough as nails but is simply a hopeless fighter

:lol: I remember that. Webcke plays the ball and then proceeds to charge at Bailey who in return nails him with about 8 right jabs...

Witty was a junior boxing champ, and Marcus Perenara learned all about on Sunday. :lol:

they get into a blue?

witty would get tumbled in a fight by 75% of the nrl! oh he plays PL i forgot

 

[sooperdooper]

Jack Afamasanga for parra cna throw them as can alot of our lower graders...aks St George PL last year :0

 

[miccle]

Along with all the boxers and junior boxing champs who play the game, here's a name out of the blue... Mick De Vere.

Wouldn't know it from looking at him or watching him play, but apparently a very experienced black-belt in a form of martial arts (can't remember if it was karate or tae-kwon-do).

 

[gregstar]

'kandos" ryan was a champion boxer amongst other things.

he's probably had one of the most interesting lives one could hope to lead.

I don't think so mate. Witt can definately hold his own, and regularly finds himself in the thick of fights on the field. I've seen him sent to the bin twice in his career, both times involved throwing punches.

 

[Breadman]

I forgot about DeVere and I think it is Karate.
I wonder if many teams bring in martial arts specialists?
Something like Judo could be very beneficial in defense

 

[Bullrider]

Scott Prince. Bronocs trainer reackons he could make it in boxing if he wanted to.

witt may be able to 'box' but he certainly can not 'fight'
if witt came up against someone bigger and stronger in a fight on the league field he would get belted! just like he does in defence!

there is a difference, alot of people can throw a punch, its how you receive them as well

 

[sooperdooper]

alot of martial arts involve kicking and elbowing, and if someone who was trained eg de vere used those on a league field he would be belted!

not saying he wouldnt go well but theres a difference

 

[xstasy]

not luke burt in round 1 he was a absolut pussy couldnt even hurt johns haha

id say some of the maori fellas in the comp we are tough us maoris

Oooo. look at me I'm so tough! :lol:

 

[xstasy]

scott minto looks like hes bin pounded in the face a few times hahaha

look in the mirror for once before talking.

There ya go, like I said you can never pick them....

As for DeVere sooperdooper I agree martial arts bouts and footy punchups are completely different BUT if you have some sort of training it can only help.
As for elbows, they can be very effective on a football field, ask Darryl Brohman

 

[innsaneink]

Benny Elias is up there with current world champs.

 

[Bigfella]

Witty was a junior boxing champ, and Marcus Perenara learned all about on Sunday

Marcus Perenara got tackled when he had his back turned after the penalty had been blown. Witt threw two punches when Perenara gave back a flurry of his own.

Witt may have a background in boxing but put it this way: Rugby League was the career he chose of the two sports. That suggests he was an even worse boxer ...

 

[Ferocious Dogs]

Monty Betham is a mean bastard. Tallis could throw a couple.

 

[McLovin]

How does Mason go?? he one of those big for nothing nuffies or can he actually throw a few??

 

[Hari Kari]

Ask Lyons, Hoppa and Kosef. :lol:

When you can beat all of them together, on your own, you qualify as tough. :shock:
