Who is the current top dog in superleague?

On current reputation in my opinion it's Luke oDonnell at Giants, it's an area which we do not really have, hopefully Mr Hock can legally provide the biff were applicable

Our only real enforcers I fan recall in recent memory are below in no particular order

Super Kel
Tez o C
Quentin pongia
Jerry Seu Sue ( one good biff versus Halifax I recall at home)
Terry Newton

Anyone got anyone else

Graeme West

In his own way, Dean Bell

Current, hard to be one in this day and age IMO but Morley is a long standing one. Graham has the capability. Coley IMO showed up well v St George and I cannot remember anybody taking him on etc but he doesn't go looking for it either. Bailey of Leeds likes to think he is. Cashmere/Salford? Some of the French lads?

Hock is a natural agressor, no backward step player. He probably fits the role for Wigan.

Superkell without a doubt and Barry Mac, wild man prop with one eye and a sure nose for a fight. I also recall Fleary and Farrell at Leeds who used to hunt in pairs and smash opposition noses, you felt your bones rattle every time you saw them :craz: :craz: also Sonny Nickle

When I first started following the team, Bob Blackwood and Brian Hogan were the hard men of the team. Different game in those days! :D

Currently i can only say Morley, but if Hull continue to rise then Fitzgibbon may make the mark.

In the super league era then fielden and peacock at bradford.

Then from earlier times, Jim Mills at Widnes.

Moving away from props, then Dean Bell was someone nobody messed with and someone who really looked after his team mates.

For me it has to be the player Wigan had, then gave away. Kurt Sorensen to Widnes when he was only seventeen.

Coley Hits harder than he looks
