Don't forget Burrow did a pretty good job on Thackray as well.

My Gran could do a pretty good job on Thackray.

After reading this and the biggest hit thread i checked out some footage on the well known site, and was just wondering if Kelvin Skerrett ever landed a punch?? According to the footage on there he was involved in many but cant actually seem to find one where he connects.

Now Trevor Skerrett was one hard barsteward. Not particularly dirty, but hard as nails.

Sam Tomkins

How good was skerrett as a player? Was he one of the players that made Wigan great, or one that slotted in and did a proffessional job a la BJ Mather?

I certain don't think of him in the same league as Wigan props such as O'Connor or Platt, but what I saw would've been limited.

Good call on the Hanley vid! Holdsworth is a legend for that.

How bizarre that they were playing in America though.

Haven't read the full thread so apologies if mentioned but Paul Cullen was a dirty so and so and part of that very frisky late 80's early 90's wire side

Isn't there a story about him and Andy Goodway both getting sent off and carrying a fight on in the tunnel?

As soon as Les Boyd's name came up on here the ballot closed IMO.

Thankfully Jim Comans did us all a favour by taking the grub out of the game for as long as possible.

May not be the one you mean but the one I saw was this (Lanchashire Cup Final if I remember)...

Goodway had flattened Cullen and he was on the pitch being treated and Goodway was sent off

On his way past Cullen lying on the floor, Goodway 'accidently' trod on Cullen (hand I think) - Cullen got up and flew after Goodway and that was it... all hell broke loose

I cannot remember seeing anybody get the red mist like that on a field before or since - Cullen would have killed Goodway that day if he could

All good fun!!

I have to agree with anyone who has said Les Boyd.

There is 'dirty play' and then there are downright malicious disgusting acts that have no place in society let alone on a footy field.

Mods, i think you should lock his account as someone has obviously hacked into Barry's account as this is the most sensible thing ever posted by him!

The only Rugby League fight I have seen that I thought... 'now that's too much' is Steve Bowden on Mark Broadhurst, Newtown v Manly 1981 - shocking stuff

Searching for 'famous football brawl' will find a clip - not for the faint hearted!

Barry McKenzie has considered retirement from the forum, however my work here is not yet done.

When Barry McKenzie joined RLFans just over a year ago he had a very clear mission statement. I made a promise to myself... and Barry McKenzie does not break his promises.

I swore that I would improve the game of Rugby League in this country whilst also acting as an Oracle for people who had questions about the sport. I swore to educate the ignorant and guide those who required guidance. Barry McKenzies inbox is overflowing with questions from members of the Rugby League supporting public about how to improve things in this wonderful sport.

Now as a recently qualified 'Bronze member' Barry McKenzie appreciates that although he has made great strides in educating the masses his work is clearly a long way from completion as quite a few people still seem to think Adrian Moreley was a good player and they dont seem to understand Eliss and Burgess are playing in Australia ONLY because the NRL has a duty to help players from developing nations such as England, Fiji and PNG.

Dean Sampson

If you were to search Skerrett Superman on a certain website, you'd find one of the best punches known to man.

Exactly, and still no one has mentioned the TMFMISL yet. Obviously not a dirty player as most try and make out that he is.

Barry you posted two decent posts and now i see you are back to normal.

Who are you on about.

It always seemed to me that whenever Halifax played Bradford in the late 90's/early '00's, a few of their number seemed intent on performing every tackle above the throat, with Andy Hobson usually being the main culprit.

But Broadhurst, yeah, a proper hard man. Check out the Hull KR/Queensland match on that video site

Hmm, see who i quoted and try and work it out for yourself

Vila Matautia
Andy Hobson

I'll give you that Vila was dirty but he was also one hard bugger as well his legs were like bl00dy tree trunks.
