Toughest 3 players : Sun Dec 01, 2019 10:54 am  

Bit of off season fun. Who are the toughest 3 players you’ve seen and why?

1) Mic Mac - never seen a small man terrorise an entire pack, like he used to do to us
2) Rob Burrow - probably not much need to be said. To be that small and that good in this game is incredible
3) Keith Senior- just a scarey man and presence. Never seen anyone call him out! Back or forward alike.

Bit of a mix from me as a Bratfud lad. Have to admit when I first saw Burrow I gave him two seasons at the most. He must be hard as nails. My 3 would be
1. Jamie Peacock. Never seen him take a backward step and for sitting Willie Mason on his booty.
2. Brian McDermott. Hard as iron and sent off in 1997 cup semi for attacking 3 players at same time. I personally thought he was defending himself against a gang attack.
3. Bernard Dwyer. When we had run out of subs he completed a game with not one but two torn biceps.

I agree with this one

1. Gaz Ellis and Peacock tie, absolute warriors. Hard as nails and will do any hard work.
2. Adrian Morley just a hard man and intimidating nothing else to say
3. Sam Burgess massive hitter all out bruiser

Great question and you must have been reading my mind as I was only discussing this topic only the other day but worded slightly differently

My question was:
If you had to take a hit up whilst camped on your own try line, which defenders would you hate in front of you waiting to clobber you?
1: Mozza
2: Gaz Ellis
3: Sam Burgess
(and in no particular order as they'd all smash you )

Of the overseas players that I have seen:
1: Sonny Bill Williams
2: Tonie Carroll
3: Gordon Tallis
