I think Luke Covell is taking votes away from the Spud.

Ziggy the God said:Who remembers when Spud (playing for Souths), laid out one of the Warriors on the opening tackle of the match? The match stopped for a few minutes as he was stretchered off, and didn't return. IIRC I think it was Lomax.
The following week Souths played North Qld. In the week leading up to the game, Lomax's older brother was quoted in the press saying that he was going to take revenge on Spud.
Souths kicked off, Lomax took the first hitup, and Spud knocked him out. Lomax came on later in the second half, but couldn't continue.

there were many occasions where these 2 men had great clashes. The most remembered is the game in 1995. In the first couple of minutes harragaon and carroll got into "a punch up". Harragon won the fight hands down!
Later there was the tackle where chief got knocked out. In the scrum before the kickoff, carroll headbutted harragon when harragon had his back turned. Carroll than told chief to run at him. From that massive clash, carroll ended up with 2 broken ribs and harragon was concussed, although he did continue playing after he was knocked out.
In the 1997 semi final, harragon brought the ball off his try line and carroll try tackling him. carroll was run over and fell to the ground a couple of times trying to get back onside as he was knocked out.
In the grand final carroll did a hitup off a tap and harragon SMASHED him! carroll played the poor in a terrible way and the knights got the penalty.
I can't think of any other time carroll did anything major to get one back up on harragon.

If the poll is about pure ability then the chief bolts in,but if it is based on clashes between the pair then spud by a badly bruised nose.macavity said:a Novocastrian is your superior.
I cant believe this is even close - Spud was good, but Chief was a great.
