Yeah because Bradley Clyde, Steve Menzies, Jason Smith, Tonie Carroll, Morley, Gareth Ellis, Petero, Webcke, Asotasi, Price, Mason, Shrek etc would all have no chance of keeping up in the modern game or couldn't condition themselves to do so.. C'mon man.. Give them the credit they deserve.. Players were as fit back then than they are now as the game in the 90s-00's was end to end and physical plus there was more skill on display.Generation gap showing in this thread.. shows how unsettled the old boys get hate to say yeh those guys looked tough cause they could throw a few.

Hey guy ,
Typo. Latrell Mitchell. He plays for the South's Sydney rabbitoes.

It starts with our "leaders", the politicians, who have the protection of parliament to get in each others faces. That level of disrespect "trickles down" to the public.The problem is not restricted to footballers. The whole society these days show no respect. Recall Kennedy when he said “ask not what your country can do for me but what I can do for my country”? That sentiment is totally lost in the me now society that has developed.
Yup, if you could still line some smug prick up and put one on the beak there would be none of thisWatched footy for 40 years and the level of disrespect floating around these days is amazing. The head pats, laughing and clapping in players faces and the latest, dragging an opposition player in for a try celebration. Getting to the point where it sh!ts me up the wall....
Per Ivan Cleary, "I don't see what the problem is." “Our team is young. I don’t think people see the niggle that comes from the opposition towards our team.” Yeah, blame the other team for your own bullshit.
The problem is no biff. Back in the day if you didn't show some respect, you were sent to the dentist.
As a thought exercise, though I'd try list who I thought were the biggest flogs I could think of.
Cody Walker, Latrine Mitchell, Jarred Croker, Jordan Rapana, Stephen Crichton, Jarome Luai are a good start.
Sure there is plenty I've missed (yeah I took some of the low hanging fruit there). Would be interesting after a good list is put together to put a poll up and find out who's the King....
He's a typical south's grub closely followed by cody wankerOn the field... that’ll do me
Yeah, the game was a lot dirtier in the 70’s and 80’s ...cheap shots etc. I’m sure these young fellas today could hold their own but the game doesn’t allow it anymore.. therefore they can only provoke with a push or shove. Maybe that’s why we now see bigger hits in tackles and far more concussions ...how else can you vent your aggression!?...Generation gap showing in this thread.. shows how unsettled the old boys get hate to say yeh those guys looked tough cause they could throw a few.

100%. what an absolute flog. Cant stand him. Cheap shot king and cocky , ok if you have the skills to match but he cant tackle and throws one good pass out of a 100Can't take the list serious without Joey Leilua at the top
Not true at all true old street fighters would get in close where big punches couldnt be thrown from a better reach and they did know how to wrestle but if all else failed they'd bite your ear or nose off and spit it in your fkn face young fuck heads have no ideaGeneration gap showing in this thread.. shows how unsettled the old boys get hate to say yeh those guys looked tough cause they could throw a few.

I couldn’t agree more. Allowing players to self-regulate disrespect works wonders in baseball. You show somebody up, especially basking in your own glory, you get plonked the next time you bat. That’s why there is close to zero sledging in baseball.The problem is no biff. Back in the day if you didn't show some respect, you were sent to the dentist.
The entire roster of the Roosters, Storm, Broncos... plenty more.Sure there is plenty I've missed
Ah yes, the trickle down theory, but accurately applied in this caseIt starts with our "leaders", the politicians, who have the protection of parliament to get in each others faces. That level of disrespect "trickles down" to the public.
