@dogmeat Was sure you were going to post Dick Fromont, but you are getting on.

If Frizell counts so does Jamie Joseph. He did stomp on Bracken's ankle. Squire with his high shots. Plenty of Highlanders' 6s.

@hooroo Joost van der Westhuizen was a big fan of throwing punches when he was behind a ruck.

I don't understand this bonus points system, surely this is a good thing? Wouldn't they lose points for it?

@bayimports He was definitely a bully, but he could foot it with the best of them, and consistently delivered on the field. Late career fades don't count.

@tim I saw him as a spectacular athelete with grid iron like passes his repertoire, but not really as hardman unless sexual harrassment in fiji counts

I think we need to define hardman for the purpose of this thread, but, in the early 90s he definitely brought a hard edge to the pack, plus you wouldn't want to get in a scrap with the three Brooke bros back in the day.

Brendon Cannon (I think) must be in the frame for his wuss punch on Kev.

agree hard edge - but Tim wants people that pciked on half backs etc, which like most locks he did in spades and I respected that, his brothers were what I would call hard (and you wouldnt take them on as a group) , at any rate it is all subjective at best

Wasn’t really a wuss punch, it just didn’t drop him that was all.

Wasn't he cop? He probably did bash a few heads in the job back in the day.
