It's interesting to see pretty much entirely forwards in the list of "toughest" players. Forgetting of course that backs had to play against these thugs usually with a massive size disadvantage. It's why I included Drummond. Nobody f******d with him, despite him playing in "less enlightened" times. I could also include Kevin Dick, Sid Hynes, Alan Smith, George Fairbairn, Daryl Powell, etc.

Led Boyd was a disgrace. He may have been tough but he rightfully got banned out of the game here in Aus. Unbelievable how some Wire fans saw him as a cult figure but were seemingly horrified by Bailey signing for them.

That he was. Shame because he could have been a great player had he just played rugby. Fast, great ball skills and a destructive wide running second row.
