There were a lot of players who played the game hard and fair and with enormous skill, but there were also those that went out to deliberately injure an opponent. Not so sure I would want to go back to the days of watching your best player carried off with a broken jaw. This aussie site also has some good stories from both sides of the pond http://www.eraofthebiff.com/ and is well worth a read. I don't mind a bit of biff as long as its fair. If you type in "Terry O'Connor v Gorden Tallis fight" on a well known video site you'll see a beauty. Its also interesting what Tallis has to say afterwards

We had a couple of the hardest here at Keighley in Big Brendon and Smokin' Joe Grima. Sometimes you can't beat a bit of biff. Shame you don't see it as much nowadays there was a decent scrap at Leigh though last season. The atmosphere went up about 10 fold afterwards. Both cracking websites mentioned here, well worth a read. I'd recommend this blog as well www.propforwardsunion.blogspot.com Might have to report Shick to them for sidestepping the full back last Sunday.
