When I was watching Ryan McGoldrick kick Sam Tomkins in the face then getting shouted at for the rest of the game it got me thinking, who would make rugby league's most hated team? There are a couple of weak entries but here's my attempt and reasons:

1. Ryan McGoldrick - Always kicking off with someone after the tackle, kicking out when being tackled and yet never showing any real talent or actually getting into a fight. Even Castleford fans don't like him.

2. Leon Pryce - Off the field he got community service for bottling someone, then again escaped prison after a forced entry/assault incident at Stuart Reardon's wife's house. On the field he got banned for squeezing Sam Burgess' balls and injured Brian Carney with a horrible tackle in the '03 final. Possibly the most hated player going right now.

3. Lee Smith - Stamped on Bailey's head and celebrated on a wall in front of us after he knocked us out of the cup.

4. Keith Senior - Remembered for flooring Barrie Jon-Mather, cheating on his girlfriend in Australia, selling his World Cup medals and generally being a dirty player, gets into a lot of fights too.

5. Ben Cockayne - On a night out he battered a man who was already on the floor, and it's all over the internet.

6. Lee Briers - Very cocky scouser who Warrington fans hail like a God yet he was never good enough to get a game for GB. Biggest moaner in the game and rumoured dodgy off field antics too.

7. Sean Long - A very cocky player, apparently left Wigan under murky circumstances to join our arch rivals, got banned for betting against his own side and walked out on his country mid-tour. Very dodgy off field antics too.

8. Ryan Bailey - Got sent to a young offenders institute for battering someone in Leeds town centre, played with a tag, and always looking for a fight.

9. Keiron Cunningham - He's fat, walked out on his country, failed a drugs test but didn't get banned and took a big cheque to stay in league. Very cocky too.

10. Nick Fozzard - Always leads with the forearm and never gets called on it. Ugly bugger as well!

11. Terry Newton - Fouled and injured three saints players in one game and stayed on the pitch, which pretty much screwed their chances of winning the final that year. Currently banned for taking performance enhancing drugs. He gets into lots of fights too.

12. Keith Mason - I think he's been involved in a fight pretty much every time I've seen him play. How likely he is to fight you depends precisely upon how small you are and whether you're expecting it at the time. Dirty, dirty bugger.

13. Paul Cooke - His transfer saga from one side of Hull to the other really didn't make him any friends amongst F.C fans, he then played pretty badly for Rovers and ended up getting sent out to Wakefield so I doubt even their fans like him. Off the field he's got assault and drink driving convictions, he looks like a tramp too.

Who would make your team?

Lee Smith has to be in there.

KFC as well- Zero class, failed a drugs test and walked out on his country and still got paid for it!!!

Julian O'Neil was bit of an idiot as well.

thought Lee Smith might get in. Not liked this player since he kicked out in the tackle in the play off at leeds a few years back. Think it was against Fielden but cant really remember.

If we are talking current players id go for the following 5

Ben Cockayne - How hes not serving a long time behind bars is beyond me

Leon Pryce - that awful tackle on brian carney in the grand final says it all about him really, people who have met him say he is an extremely distasteful person

Terry Newton - Newton commited GBH on the field of play, as much as i liked him as a player for Wigan he one of the dirtiest players ive ever seen when he wanted to be.

Ryan Bailey - a cheap shot merchant who leads with the elbow, also keen to pick on the smaller players whenever possible

Adrian Morley - same as OP

Stood on Bailey's head IIRC

I didn't even know Lee Smith was disliked to be honest. I'll put him in at full back and move Cockayne to the wing so I can remove Stuart Reardon. Cunningham can get a spot too with Newton moving to second row and Morley dropping out, he's respected rather than hated these days.

Where the f**k is Lee Briers?

oh yea he is now because he stood on a wall and celebrated....

care to expand...?must of got mixed up with sam tompkins...

Who the fook is he?

Bailey, I think.

Naw ... Sam is in the list of little guys who have laughed at supposed tough guys for trying, and failing, to take his head off.

Well were including our players aswel it would be fair to say Sam and Lockers would be in that team

Lee Briers must be able to fit in somewhere

1. Wellens - constant moaning plus the fact hes slower than my Grandad and is one of thee ugliest players to grace SL.

2. Lee Smith - well no one likes a Union plus this mon is a real cocky arrogant git. Another who likes making a meal out of a perfectly good challenge.

3. Ryan McGoldrick - See my thread yesterday.

4. Leon Pryce - On and off the field record is horrible, could and maybe should have been locked up.

5. Ben Cockayne - Lovely chap... honest! See the video on the internet for proof this man is a thug.

6. Lee Briers - He plays for Warrington, he'll never play for Britain as he simply isnt good enough. Good for the occasional cheap shot and backchat to the ref.

7. Sean Long - I dont think we need much explanation for Longy, except from walking out on his country, betting against his own team, playing for Saints and.. well read his book for more evidence.

8. Ryan Bailey - where are your rings Ryan? and I dont mean the one which could well have been overused in the youth offenders. Couldnt of happened to a nicer person - cocky arrogant - will have a pop with Phelps, Sam or any other small player, but once Joel wants a go or OLoughlin its a different matter.

9. KFC - A fantastic player but someone who I have grew up hating - I remember a terrible swinging arm against Bails/Richards one year at KR.

10. James Graham - All because of when he spat his dummy out because Feka put a good hit in - take it aswell of giving it out James. (Great player though)

11. JJB - Horrible little bugger with daft beards/sideburns. Have a word.

12. David Solomona - Another who is a dirty little git and just happens to be playing down the road these days.

13. Jon Wilkin - Moaning little scouser wannabe. Another who doesnt like it when the going gets tough.

I'm going to add Lee Briers in, he never really hurt anybody which is why I left him out but he is a cocky git. I'm thinking to get rid of either Raynor or McGoldrick, Raynor is the only one of the team in jail but I think McGoldrick gets more venom, standing out with daft hairstyles and big tattoos doesn't help him.

If they were still going they would have definitely been in there, Hooper always used to take the kicker out.

I just realised I only have one international selection (McGoldrick, born in Aus and has represented USA) and they all have GB/England caps apart from McGoldrick, Cooke and possibly Briers (we always sing 'You'll never play for Britain' to him but his wikipedia says he played 1 game for GB in 2001)

You must know a different Paul Cooke story to all the Hull and Rovers fans

ahh bugger I've mixed the names up. You must admit he is very hated though, even if he did kick that CC final winning drop goal.

The Hull fans hate him, the Rovers fans are very much of split opinion on boy wonder himself

Wellens
Gardner
Talau
Mcgoldrick
Pryce
Briers
Long
Bailey
KFC
Graham
Wilkin
Solomona
Sinfield

Out of interest why are people picking Solomona so regularly? He's not someone I'd want to play against but I've never seen any cockyness or dirty play from him.
