Taking a thought from another thread what is people who have played this great game worst thing about it?

Mine has to be that after a 26 man battle royale on the pitch when we ever got a penalty it was normally my job to take the first drive up after the tap with a run straight at murderous faces (I guess it had been decided that I could take the best battering).

It always had me thinking 'This is gunna hurt' and it always did

people trying to gouge my eyes out, that really pi@@ed me off.

You have gotten your own thread for that.

I once tried to go through a gap that i thought i had developed between Mark Hilton and Andy Farrell. That ended up hurting..!

im bored of that now... i used to play when i had curtains ( a terrible hair cut ) and i played second row at the time and the amount of times the opposition had my hair in 1 hand whilst they punched me with the other in the scrum... lets just say that hair cut didnt last long.

i usually did that first hit up too. agree its a pap job.



on the subject of worst thing about playin, its gotta be nasty injuries (chev)

i personally snapped my patella tendon and leg bent wrong way (literally) and my knee cap ended up on my thigh. that was cac!!!

Snapped my ACL in my right knee.

pretty rubbish that

I walked off the pitch and actually went training after the swelling had gone down all went well till I stopped running in a straight line







It was at that point that I went to HRI

Worst thing is trying to keep a straight face when a dopey props trying to run a ball in trying to look hard after your teams just won an all in brawl

North West Counties? always ended up an the bad end of a 60 point game against them

Trying to look hard was never in my head, More like keeping my head on my shoulders



Infact I always wanted us to be the penalised side

My Yorkshire versus Lancashire debut at Headingly. Lost 10-8. If only they had taken that dummy!
