Dirtiest player in Super League? : Tue Apr 14, 2009 11:37 am  

I've decided to raise this issue after watching, who i think is the dirtiest player in SL which is Ben Westwood. Although a very good player, not one of his tackles yesterday was below the neck and Ganson let him get away with it. Does he know how to bend his back?

I wouldn't say he's the dirtiest player in SL. But he certainly likes to get the opposition riled up.

Unless my eyes deceive me he's not in the top 25 for giving penalties away.

Maybe Benny is just good at not getting caught

Or maybe he's just come back from a lengthy ban so hasn't played as much as the others

Has to be ryan bailey.....the dirtiest player in RL

In terms of niggly stuff in the tackle - McGoldrick by some distance, even players think he's the dirtiest player in the league.

In terms of high tackles etc, Newton, Westwood, Hock or O'Loughlin.

His five match suspension would suggest otherwise.............
