Close second - Karl Pryce.

Sam, or Wendy.

[deluded pom?]

I wouldn't call anyone who crosses the whitewash soft.

Silverwood, Child, Ganson, Bentham, etc?

[hindle xiii]

Agreed, although I would say 'some fellas aren't as tough as others'!

[deluded pom?]

Silverwood, Child, Ganson, Bentham, etc?

All of 'em would have you stood in a corner of the room cowering.

Having had the pleasure of sharing a room with three of the aforementioned I seriously doubt it.

[NEIL FOX IS GOD]

McGuire no contest

[giwildgo]

I saw it on Crimestoppers.

Stoppers?!? How do you think I was there in the first place?

[widnesvikings]

wouldnt say any was soft,but they are not as tough as they were in the 70,s 80,s

Silverwood, Child, Ganson, Bentham, etc?

NAIL.ON.HEAD!

[Dave T]

McGuire no contest

No chance! I have so much respect for the little blokes who get knocked around week in week out by players 4 and 5 stone heavier than them.

[terrywebbisgod]

The young Gleeson kid at Wakey, no bottle whatsoever.

[widnesvikings]

Give over. It's impossible to compare eras and I don't think anyone who plays RL is soft, at all.

didnt say they were soft these forwards might be fitter now but none could live with the boyds tamatis mills sorensons,nicholases etc

[HappyDave]

How do you know? You don't...it's all supposition. We know there were hard cases in RL then, just as there is now.

Apparently the likes of Morley & Senior are pussycats compared to 70s & 80s RL players... Yeah, right!

There may be less biff or dirty players as there used to be but the physicallity of top level/elite Rugby League these days is brutal. Some people say the hits in the NRL are much bigger that SL but I don't think any of us would last 20 minutes in an SL game.

No one i have the highest amount of respect possible for everyone who plays RL no matter who they are,who they play for and what level.

Softest player in SL nobody because they play the game.

couldn't agree more, playing rugby league these days is a very brave thing to do. with regards to some players from yester year being a thug doesn't make somone tough or hard (not saying some weren't)

[Wiltshire Rhino]

I don't think the average person would last 5 minutes. Seriously.

Happy Dave isn't your average person!

Tamati - Warrington

Mills - Widnes

Sorensen - Widnes

Nicholas - Warrington

Is it me or is there a bit of a theme here? Is it the water in Cheshire that makes players 'ard?

3 of those players were imports so I doubt the water had much to do with it.
