As a club we have in the past had lots of signings from union. That avenue is no closed but the closed season boredom has made me think of the three hardest not best from that source.
Mine are.
1. Mantle
2. Gibbs
3. Evans.

Our club has a rich history of bringing in Union players.
It's a shame we won't see that again, although I can't believe we don't Scout in places like Samoa

How do you define a 'hard man' ?
Kevin Ward or Jim Mills for example ?
Then you have the so called 'hard men' who in truth are cowardly & sly ,such as Ryan Bailley or Paul Davidson.
In recent times I would say Chris Joynt & James Graham are true 'hard men' ,gave their all on the field for 80 minutes ,never took a a backward step & played the game as gentlemen.
In terms of never taking a backward step from the opposition and leading from the front.
Mantle
Warlow

In no particular order
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.
