The 'Hard Nut' Roosters Team

[Kingbilly]

The only thing Terry Hill was every hard on in his whole career was his team mates, he used to get right up them when they missed tackles, the tackles he was supposed to make

Steve Hardy deserves a spot.

I'll say this ....if by the end of his career Mitchell is'nt rated the toughest 1/2 back ever ...I'll become a souths supporter

Pearce is tough but will never be tougher than Tommy Raudonikis, the toughest yet most moronic man I can remember.

Tommy has some ridiculous advert on BSB about Origin - "I hate Queenslanders" or some bullshit like that. You can hear him dribbling while he speaks.

An AVV that Tim Bailey would be proud to call his own.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!

Terry Hill a Rooster hard nut...
The stuttering sook took us to court to get out of his contract.
He belongs in the soft cock team...

Didnt actually see Hill play for easts but he was a pretty good player for Manly. Couldnt think of another centre.
I'll chuck Ryan Cross in there even though he was injury prone.

Robert 'the truck" Simpkins

He demolished entire packs on his own on occassions in 2007

one tough mother-farker.

... but after decades of tireless Chook devotion ...

no Rooster player for me comes even close to being our toughest than Horrie Hastings. Just simply one of a kind.

There is no denying Hasting's durability and longevity but I would rate John Mayes as a tougher nut than Hastings.

I also recall John Brass finished a game on a broken ankle once. That alone makes him tougher than Ryan Cross in my book.

I would also add Royce Ayliffe and John Harvey somewhere in that group. Finally, lest you should forget, Big Jack Gibson was no shrinking violet as a player either.

In fact any footballer that played in the 60's and 70's would only have to say Boo to a modern footballer to send him into the psyche ward. The modern footballer is a far more accomplished athlete but in no way do they play with the same type of pain as they played with in the old days.
