i need to start a new thread cause my nerves are in bits re gateshead situation.
my idea of a truly hard rugby league player is not an hatchett man or a short fused brawler but more like someone who did the hard yards and never took a backward step.
for that reason my two would be dennis boyd and jeff clarke.
my dad says charlie pausey and stan owen from his days.
what do others think

Peter Smethurst comes immediately to mind.
Fits you definition perfectly. Very tough but not dirty

Smethurst for me, Timmy Street from the 'new era' but to be honest no-one who plays RL can be called 'soft'

I always thought Kenny Green for his size was a hard player.

Jeff Clarke is a good one from living memory, whilst Tony Cotteril is also up there for me.
