Wollo Wollo Wayoo Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Thinking of rogues as opposed to thugs. I guess Rangi Chase at Cas and Ben Cockayne at Hull KR would be two in recent times. Both would love going over the top and baiting the crowd at Wakefield. Good laugh though. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

Oxford Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I've sifted and sampled through this thread and have yet to find the lovable bit! All a bit Sky commentary for mine: " Not a mean bone in his body!" after someone's head's been knocked off! 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cottrell at Leigh was a Lovable Rogue because he just hated everyone and laughed with it. Off the field - Gentleman, but would have a go at any Nutter of the opposition and absolutely detested Henderson Gill !! Les Boyd - Nutter , but I spoke to Les a few years ago at a Sportsmans dinner about Tony Cottrell and he was fully aware of him !! Lovely bloke and when he wanted to play Rugby, was one of the best. Tamati - Hard ! as was Kurt Sorenson. Them Kiwis don't mess about. I wouldnt say there are really any dirty players in todays game. The most recent enforcers are probably Gorden Tallis and Ron Gibbs in Australia and who would mess with Peacock and Sculthorpe, both of whom are just hard lads without being dirty. Tim Street in his younger days was just a lunatic. Lost Leigh plenty of games, but showed his quality when matured. Always the first to drive it in after a Melee. Loved the biff. I do wish the niggle was brought back into the game along with a good old shoulder charge. All this wrestling lark isnt good viewing at times. Lets hope we get some packed houses back soon this season. We all need a break ! The modern game just doesn't allow for the "enforcers" as you call them anymore. It really doesn't take much to get sent off these days, and then you've pretty much cost your team the game and got a few match ban to boot. Make no mistake though, there are still plenty of hard as nails lads playing these days who could have looked after themselves in any era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentoffagain2 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The game needs characters,but downright thuggery should be heavily enforced.Spectators at Ice Hockey matches expect two or three flare ups in a game.How often has a match been sparked into life by an incident between players.It gets the crowd going and usally for the next 10 min the tempo increases dramatically.I would rather see a tight game with a bit of niggle than watch a 42_30 scoreline.But that is my choice i like it gritty.

Father Ted Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Remember Jack Fairbank getting sent off in a C Cup replay at Central Park after a punch up with Eric Ashton. A long time ago, mid week replay with 3pm kick off as there were no floodlights then. We were allowed out of school early so we could go. Or more likely so the teachers could go.

Wilderspoolmemories Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 As a wire fan I remember Mike nicko, another man who was a real nutter on the pitch but a really friendly gent off it. 2009 Warrington 25 Hudderfield 16 2010 Warrington 30 Leeds 6 2011 League Leaders Shield Winners 2012 Warrington 35 Leeds 18 Challenge cups and league leaders shields everywhere!
