Toughest Player In The NRL

[to_ddeath]

Bob Lidner 1989.

'nuff said.

Don't bother mentioning Lindner, RP doesn't remember anything prior to roughly 1995-96. If it was pre-Stupid league era, it never existed....

Gallen is crazy tough, agreed.

But bias aside, when you consider that Lockyer is 85kg's, has played something like 430 games of NRL/SOO/Test footy, and is constantly faced with the biggest backrowers in the game running at him ... he is pretty tough.

Honorable mentions to Jeremy Smith and Neville Costigan. Jacob Lillyman by all reports is pretty tough also.

Oink !

4 votes Gallen... I wonder how long kmav23 will take to weigh in on this one

Gallen.

 

[get amongst it]

segeyaro is paying $1.10 to be the toughest player by 2015

 

[coolsteve]

terry randall, could dish out some punishment and take it as well .(terry who?)

 

[Liddell]

Gallen, Hindmarsh, Dallas Johnson.

How?

Lockyer, thats funny. He is resiliant but thats it. Tough absolutely no way, he always some pig standing next to him protecting him taking the brunt of the action.

So Gower played with injury (just like most players), but he took dives alot more than most. not a tough nut in my books

 

[RHCP]

The Dugan.

Boils usually take months to get over, but he only missed one game!

 

[fresh_mayo]

Geoff Toovey, no comparison.

Current player - Dallas Johnson

Karmichael Hunt was a tough customer, obviously too tough for the NRL of course....

Yeah I think there should be a distinction between being tough like Webcke and Lockyer. Webcke was tough because he played a position that required a lot of physical application and played on despite the extreme pain he must have been feeling and still making in-roads in the defence. Lockyer on the other hand could play on with a broken rib but he mainly played the role of ball dispenser.

I also think of guys who are bloody tough to tackle and you want with you if you ever got in trouble. Players such as Sika Manu and Fui Fui Moi Moi come to mind.

I reckon Moi Moi goes missing when it counts. He may be physically tough but mentally no way

 

[petetheileet]

I'd go for J Smith, gallen is powerful and strong, wouldn't rate him as the toughest,

I'd like to throw nightingales name out there. A winger doesn't get that many chances to show how tough they are, but u could put him in the front row and he still wouldn't let u down. Never seen him shy away from anything and his last run has as much behind it as his first.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Peter Wallace.

Not the most talented player around, but in the toughness stakes?

Anyone who plays half a game with ruptured balls has to be tough as nails...

 

[to_ddeath]

And be a ranga at the same time, man that is tough....
Toovey?? - more like biggest whinger of the 90s....

For New Zealand, sure. For Parramatta, no way.

FFMM makes all his impact with the ball. Times are toughest when you have no ball. The rest is self explanitory to anyone who isn't a moron.

Times are toughest when you have no ball

Yeah just asked Peter Wallace he played half a game with no ball. Wally's pretty tough for a halfback. Always fully commits himself in defence.

 

[seaeagle sam]

Has anybody mentioned John Sutton, he's tougher than even Dugan
