There's been a few threads about nasty pieces of work recently, so I was wondering what the consensus of opinion on here would be for the dirtiest and/or meanest and/or nastiest team of players currently playing in SL. If there's enough responses I'll add them up. reading the boards, looks like for current obvious shoo-ins are McGoldrick and Hock, but maybe you know different? Post any from a single player up to a whole team, just nominate them for a position by number, 1-13.

Starting team:

1. Ryan McGoldrick

11. Gareth Hock

[size=50The league table is purely for fun, and no aspersions are intended against any individual, as in reality all are accepted as paragons of virtue.[/size

8. Jeff lima has to be in there with his hair pulling and his chicken wings.

Samantha would have to be added.

Ryan Bailey

The 2 vampires

Joel Tomkins - Cheap Shot Merchant

David Ferriol - Cheap Shot Bully

Oliver Elima
Lee Smith
Keith Mason

Few more names to consider.

David Howell of Harlequins might give the team a bit of bite!!

Oh, this should be fun. Did this once before, compared it to real stats and was pleasantly surprised at how accurate I actually was.

Full Back - Very few dirty full backs in the game... Only choices would be Ben Cockayne and Brent Webb. I'd go for Webb.

Wings - Very VERY difficult to pick. The only one who's actually guilty of a bad infringement that I can remember is Gareth Raynor, but that's a bit unfair because he's not really a dirty player.

Centres - Paul Sykes and Keith Senior.

Stand Off - Danny McGuire by a country mile, and that's saying a lot given the competition in this position... Leon Pryce & Lee Briers for example.

Scrum Half - Simply because McGoldrick was listed at Scrum Half for Saturday, I'm putting him here.

Props - Pretty easy this one... Any 2 out of Ryan Bailey, Keith Mason and Adrian Morley.

Second Row - Pretty easy this one... Gareth Hock and Jon Wilkin.

Loose Foward - Wow.. I'm really struggling here.

And before anyone points out I missed out Hookers... I retired the position in honour of SL's all-time dirtiest player, Keiron Cunningham.

OK, not really. I forgot.

Despite his talent for getting sent off for clumsy high tackles, I don’t think Morley is a particularly dirty player – for me Lima and Bailey are the genuine dirty cheap shot merchants in the front row

I'm not.. O'Loughlin.

So, you pick Wilkin out, despite him never doing anything bar the odd high shot yet fail to pick O'Loughlin who tackles above the shoulders all the time.

FALSEHOOD.

O'Loughlin's about as dirty as Kevin Sinfield.

i.e. not very.

A quick check of stats confirms Gregory Mounis as the dirtiest Loose Forward.

Statistically, how is Mounis SL's dirtiest loose forward?

Penalties conceded? Yellow cards?

Not the most accurate method, but yes, both of those. I'm well aware there's lies, damn lies and statistics.

But unless you've got anything else to go on... The RFL Disciplinary search isn't working at the moment.

It's impossible to be certain when you think you can't physically see EVERY single game and EVERY single incident.

So how on earth have you come up with Danny Mcguire as the dirtiest stand off? He has been sin-binned once in his career and this season conceded a massive total of a whole 9 penalties.

Last season Mcguire conceded 10 penalties in the entire season. The season before he also conceded 10.

As a reference In his two seasons in SL, Trent Barrett conceded 16 and 17 penalties. Brett Finch this season has conceded 12 penalties. Sam Tomkins last year conceded 18.

mathers used to be everyones pick at fullback but to be fair he's cleaned up his act in the last couple of years

Lima has to be in it....Hair pulling, chicken wings, cannonball tackles, cheap shots.... he has it all.

Because Danny McGuire is a petulant thug who cheats and picks fights when he gets frustrated, as he did in the CC Final, as he has whenever he's been playing and Leeds have been losing. He's just lucky he doesn't get pulled up for it more often, much like Cunningham was.

He tried to head-butt Tommy Leuluai at the end of the Challenge Cup Final, yet did he get penalised or banned as he should have.

I couldn't think of a particularly dirty Loose Forward, so I checked the stats, I never said I went off stats for the whole list I'd picked out.

1. Ryan McGolderick
2. Lee Smith
3. David Howell
4. Keith Senior
5. Gareth Raynor
6. Leon Pryce
7. Danny McGuire
8. Ryan Bailey
9.Scott Moore
10. Keith Mason
11. Gaz Hock
12. Epalahame Lauaki
13. Jon Wilkin

Hang on ... am I reading this right? Are you suggesting that Keiron Cunningham was a dirty player? Seriously?!

Lance Todd, Cup Winner's medal, etc..
