Toughest Player In The NRL

[Western Saint]

Beau Scott is underrated as well, I hope he lands one of Thaiday's chin during origin.

Hed have to wait till the 20th man in arrived

 

[stormbati]

I'll go with Darren Lockyer, Petero Civoniceva, Dallas Johnson, Cameron Smith and Paul Gallen.

 

[Jimmy Smooth]

Gallen, Johnson, Luck, Crocker

 

[Noname36]

I remember a game in 1998 where buderus kept dislocating his shoulder, yet kept putting it back in himself before going in for the next tackle. Crazy stuff!

[/thread]

Freaking hell. :crazy:

 

[league]

Surprised there has only been one mention of Dean Young.

But I'll probably go with Gallen.

 

[snoozer]

was impressed with foran last night.some of those hits would've killed a regular human but he bounced up and got back into it.

as far as toughest goes - gallen or dallas johnston

toovey for years gone by vote.

Tell me that isn't tough...

 

[Constraint]

Foran, Gallen, Luck, Civoniceva, Smith to name a few. O'Meley was one of my favs. Still jizz over that clip of him running straight over Gibbs.

[Didgi]

Matty Bowen, 50kg wringing wet, and never takes a dive.

:sarcasm:

 

[Penrose Warrior]

I was going to say Marty Lang, but was he tough throwing himself at the line like that all the time or just brain dead?

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Pound for Pound DJ would probably be at the top of the list. Forans effort last night is definately a decent step forward to claiming the top spot. Some of Gallens efforts in the last few seasons have been superhuman, yes there are blokes who often tip the 40 tackle mark and beyond but they also don't make 200m in the same game. Remember Luck racking up 71 tackles a few years ago, be interesting to see how these blokes actually rank in the side in the fitness tests compared to their efforts on the field.

 

[Parra Pride]

Matai.

 

[goosie]

nigel plum

 

[HowHigh]

Mitchell Pearce. Has steel wall defence for a halfback along with a quality kicking/passing game and he never avoids contact.

:lol:

On a serious note, Paul Gallen.

 

[The Joker]

Buderus was another I heard several similar stories about from various Knights sources.

Speaking of crazy former knights players playing injured:

[Big Pete]

I'll add Kevin Campion to the list.

Must have required over 200 stitches through out his career and would turn up every week and would get into fights with Bennett and the medical staff over his availability and more often than not win and be one of the best contributors on the field.

Unlike Webcke, the guy could also fight. Especially when he had his side-kick Marsh around.

These days, I think just about every player is 'tough' in how they play on with these really painful injuries. However, I couldn't honestly think of too many players I'd want in a bar fight with me - especially not at the Broncos where Hannant, Parker and Thaiday are our forward leaders.

 

[Avenger]

Gallen, Hindmarsh, Dallas Johnson.

 

[Raider_69]

I agree with Foran, big big fan of the kid, probably the first manly player ive liked 15 years
he gets absolutely belted and gets back up time and time again and not only does he get up but when someone runs at him, he does a bit of belting himself. Love his tenacity.

 

[SoftSydney]

Paul Gallen

by leaps and bounds the best forward on the planet
