It made my morning thinking of Kevin Ryan, Barrister, Ex MP firstly tearing CSmith apart with his razor wit and cutting words and then belting the crap out of him on the field.

Cam is a fucken skidmark bro, hate the piece of shit.
What specific timeframes are we looking at? Blokes from say 2000 onwards who would have held their own in the 70's/80's? Or earlier when it was just anything goes on the field?
Webcke and Civinoceva would've held up to pretty much anyone from the 80's era IMO. Chief Harragon also. Cheap shot merchants like JWH would've got sorted out with plenty of get-squares, not sure how well he can take it when he's on the receiving end.
Does it burn even more that he will go down as one off the greatest to have ever played the game ahahha

Nasheed here,
LoLo wouldn't have made it in the game up until the super league war.
The only one we know of today that could would be Cam Smith because he was virtually around then. Since he debuted in 2002.

Other players who could make it back then for me include;
Nathan Brown
JWH
Tavita Pangai jr
Tristan Sailor
Jarrod Wallace
Jai arrow
Josh McGuire

Our own Lachlan Lewis
Lachlan Lewis wouldnt have played FG in our side in the 80s/90s with the halves we had back then. Arrow lately is made of glass, they would have smashed him.

Gal to me seems an obvious one, he was an old style fearless battering ram (with no ball skills) like forwards back then

Napa's self-stimulating of his anal gland mightn't of been held in too high esteem by Roach, Davidson, Les Boyd, Peter Kelly etc!
Lol like those guys didn't get up to any shady shenanigans, not to mention there were no smart phones back then.. Papi thrives on the collision, he would have loved it

Also think Bird would have made the cut. Hard as nails even thought he had his issue off the field.

Cameron Smith would of been bashed out of the game- fuck I would've loved to have seen it unfold. The grubby, whiny c*** would've been held up in a scrum and beaten mercilessly, and his whinging to the ref would've gone unnoticed with a quick "shut your mouth and get on with it" from a ref with balls: unlike today's hermaphrodites parading as whistleblowers.
Smith avoids being tackled because he knows plenty of opposition players would be chomping at the bit to give him a working over. Back in the "hardman era" he wouldn't of had the luxury of not getting hit, he would of got splattered with late, high shots and vicious elbows, spear tackles and the like. It would of been glorious to watch.
please cam smith is a dirty **** and he would of been giving it to the other players

Of course they got up to mischief: more likely getting on the piss and throwing some other pub patron through a window or giving them a hiding. Probably not doing a Miley Cyrus and fingering their own bunghole though I'd reckon!

He's a dirty **** in the cheap-shot cowardly way though, plenty of blokes would have beaten the piss out of the prick for that. He would've got flogged week after week. Would've loved to watch it.

Doesn't burn at all. IMO he's not in the same class as Johns and Thurston as a player. By a bit of a margin too. He'd be on par maybe with Fittler, Langer, Lockyer etc

I agree but if he is as injured back then without the physio's as he is now, we would never see him on the field.

Maybe but a few beers and a few bungers at half time like they used to do would have sorted that out for him.

Pretty sure he meant Greg Bird, not Jack Bird. Jack Bird isn't durable enough to withstand a full season of OzTag let alone the hardcore 80's version of league.

You betcha. He would've copped a pummeling. Cats didn't last long on the field back then.
