One of the worst I saw was Danny Peacock dislocating his hip in the early 1990s. After it happened, he was laying face down with one one knee facing up and one facing down. It looked unbelievably painful.
Danny Peacock's dislocated hip, Newcastle vs Gold Coast in 1991:
Go to around 2:05 in the video. I know it's in crappy 240p video filmed from the top of the grandstand, but look carefully after Peacock hit the ground....that must hurt like buggery. Wouldn't want to know how that felt like.
I was at that game (Newcastle vs Wests Tigers 2003) and stood nearly parallel to the incident in the last couple of minutes of the game. To this day, I still can't believe Robbie Beckett didn't get sent off, let alone suspended, despite the fact that Beckett clearly went in with excessive force and made contact with the head, as you can see in the middle of this video:
Absolute joke, considering Clint Newton was sent off and rubbed out for 12 matches the following year for a shoulder charge that went wrong and made contact with Ashton Sims' head. Inconsistent judiciary rulings with the NRL...some things never change.

Georgie Rose had a pretty bad one in 2007 against Melbourne.

Jody Rudd. His knee collapsed outwards
Jody Rudd? Never seen or heard of him.
Scott Prince's broken leg when he played for the Broncos. Similar to Tony Caine's. You could hear the bone snap on the tv mikes, and then they had to turn them down so you couldn;t hear the poor bugger screaming.
Yep, that was Broncos vs Bulldogs in 2001. I still remember watching the replay of the incident on Ch9. As Prince's leg moved backwards after kicking the ball and his leg hit the Broncos player, you could see Prince's leg bend and snap in slow-mo. That has never been shown since, as Fox edited out the incident when they replayed the (Ch9) game later that night.
