Who would you say was the hardest man that you have seen in rugby league.? As I have been watching rugby league since the 60s,I have seen plenty come and go but for me nobody could match the cumbrian frank foster,not the biggest of men but seemed to be feared by all he played against,and never took a backward step.!

I remember Frank Foster,but just as hard in my opinion was Brian Mctigue of Wigan. Who was the hardest of the two would debatable,because most of the very hard men seldom started the Biff but they could certainly finish it if provoked.
Bill Ashurst of Wigan was certainly tough,but he sometimes started it as well as finished it.
