Who the hell is Geoff Bowden. I know a Geoff Bugden, a Geoff Robinson and a Steve Bowden, all of which were pretty tough but i have no idea wich one you are talking about.

20-30 years ago, every game used to be like that, not just one a year. The players of today would be eaten alive and frightened to play the game if they had to face the likes of Les Boyd and co.

LOL give me a break. 20-30 years ago the high-shot merchants and biffo exponents couldn't dream of playing a game like that. They were smaller, weaker and slower than todays players and wouldn't last 5 minutes.

sorry i thought it was geoff bowden ....my appology

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I heard there were plenty of hard men up Oxford St way the other weekend.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Where have all the hard men gone? Look inside an Easts scrum.

Easts? They stopped calling them that a long time ago.

Gower was the inaugrial winner of the John Sattler award for toughness. Ryan Girdler once told me that Gowie is the toughest bloke he has ever played with or against.

You started with the insults dipsh1t.

 

[melon....]

you may smash them in round 4 but calling one of the hardest men thats ever played the game a cat shows you are a spastic at best.Your all the same you easts f*ckwits and you melon are the king of f*ckwits.I cant wait until the salary cap rorters from bondi meet my Raiders then you will get smashed

Woot Woot!!! Idiot alert.....!!! You would have to be the softest cat of the lot, behind Geyer that is.

 

[Sir Don]

Ah sorry f*ckhead ...Morley is the real deal is he ....your c*ck must be up rorter cockburns arse...morley couldnt even knock out martin lang....Morley is the new king of the soft cocks.....Melon when your next making love to Rorter Cockburn please stop thinking about me.

 

[Fibroman]

I know why you call yourself melon. It's because your melon is unspoilt by not having a brain inside it. MG was the most feared forward in the game 15 years ago. He had more influence on a game than Morley ever does. Morley is a pretender. MG was the real deal I wish MG would make a comeback for round four. It would only take him about 5 minutes to tear apart the goosters pack of pretty boys.

The majority of rorters forwards would have trouble knocking the skin off a custard. They have about as much pump as an asthma spray.

 

[Sir Don]

I think they are awfull who pick on you Fibro.they do it all the time

Hahahahahahaha! Mark Geyer was on the verge of getting smashed by King Wal! so imagine what Morley would do to him. It's a good job someone stepped in between them because the big cat who started the fight was about to get the crap kicked out of him by Wally.

You say MG was the most feared forward in the game 15 years ago, yet judging by your posts i doubt you were even alive then to make that judgement.

Face facts fibro boy, MG is the game's number one halfwit. Not only did he say that Bradford would win the spoon out here even though they flogged your mob, he also called Steve Price a powderpuff. Newsflash MG! Steve Price is tougher than you ever were. Why? Because he takes punishment and gives it, like morley, for nearly 80 minutes every game unlike MG who had a few hit-ups and did nothing for half an hour.

 

[dontmakemeangry]

Poor Tommy Smith.
The poor lad has obviously never laced on a boot.
Steve Price tougher than MG............."I'd like to see that"
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Price is that far up the medias arse that he only had to play 45 minutes last week to get Dally M points.
PLEEEEASE!

 

[Fibroman]

Tommy, you should lay off the poppy seed buns mate, because the opium has dead set scrambled your brains like a double yolker. Price is pedestrian at best. Morley goes o.k, but he would possibly and probably urinate his shorts if he had to square up against MG. Just admit it Tommy. The western suburbs produces the best footballers because people out here have got some pump.

 

[Raider_69]

Croker, Wiki and Cross from canberra are all hard bastards

 

[simon says]

I hate to agree with Raiders fans,and god knows they love plugging their own players,but Rubin Wiki is one tough so and so.Attack or defense its all 100 percent and he stings with both.

You would have to say that guys like Webcke,Skandalis,Bailey,Nutley and co are as hard as any man of any era.

Cheers. ;-)

I do agree with the statement in some ways. There are no real enforcers left in the NRL. Tallis used to be before his neck. Beattie once was, but has gone soft in recent years. Morley is tough, but borderline dangerous and reckless.

Look back at the older days and you'd find a handful in every team. Randall, Gilmeister, Sargent, Harragon, Miles, Roberts, Davidson etc.

I don't think you'd find any player in today's modern game as tough as Les Davidson.

That bloke was one of, if not the toughest bloke to ever lace on a boot for Cronulla. That says alot, because we had blokes like the Sorenson bros, Danny Lee, Beattie, John McMartin and Cliff Watson.

He would flatten you with a perfectly legal tackle. Not like Morley who is very careless. Davo could take anything the opposition could give him and still get back up. As tough as an old piece of Leather.

Tallis mentions him in his Autobio, and says how he once saw Davidson knock out 2 Saints players with the one punch. :lol: :lol:

The only person today who deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as him would be Ruben Wiki. He belts blokes in perfectly legal tackles, and is as hard as nails. Wiki is the modern day Davidson I think.

Webcke, Luke Bailey and Nutley deserve a mention too - nut none are in the same league as Wiki.

Steve Price tougher than MG

M.G wasn't that tough. He was all bark and no bite.

Exactly. It depends what you consider as tough. Powderpuff Geyer had a hit-up and then did nothing for half an hour. Price on the other hand will play for 80 minutes, making 20 odd hit-ups and 25 or so tackles. That to me is a tough player, just like Webcke.
