| Quote Homer_J_Simpson="Homer_J_Simpson"I remember the Tim Slatter head butt, truly awful incident and I believe that previous posters are correct, he went completely unpunished, which is unfortunate.
For me though it's Adrian Morley 12 seconds or so into that GB game, wtf was he thinking?
Seen Kelvin Skerritt do some really nasty stuff too, also the Isaac Luke leg twist on your "man of steel" was horrible.'"
The difference for me with the Slatter/Johnson incident, similar to the recent Elima/Gaskell one (not in magnitude), was that the attacking player had let go/lost the ball & was entilted to relax his body/alertness & not expect the assault.

| Keith Hepworth on Colin Tyrer in the 1970 Challenge Cup Final. The little coward then took to being injured in subsequent games v Wigan until a night game at Leeds a few years later.
Justice and retribution all in one.

Probably the worst seen in a cup final but to call Hepworth - pound for pound the most fearless tackler of a brutal era - a coward beggars belief.

| Mainly due to the timing of it and how it probably cost them the game....Adrian Morley's effort to start the Ashes at the then named JJB Stadium.
Bai & Kearney's spear tackle on Jarrod McKracken too.

| David Bradbury on Lee Harland at Watersheddings in about 1994 was a bad one. Broke Harland's jaw and he was out for quite some time.

Wasn't that on Mal Reilly - got up & chased him round the pitch with a broken jaw?

Don't think anybody could ever call Heppy a coward.He was only little but he could take plenty.He used to frighten us to death when he came to the Boulevard with Cas, and his half back partner Hardisty.A good payer he was but never a coward.

Just checked that out and you're right. Seems I was confused by the rumours circulating at the time that Brian Hughes boarded the Widnes coach seeking retribution but Hogan's team mates managed to protect him.

| A few weeks ago some wigan fans were calling Chris Bridge's flop onto Ben jeffries against bradford one of the worst things they had seen on a rugby field.

| Is anyone old enough to remeber Tim Slatter vicious assault on Barry Johnson, Fev v Cas early mid 80's. he broke Johnson's jaw, he didnt get sent off. it ruined Johnson's career. Ten times worse than Rangi's. Not condoning Rangis tackle but Slatters a lot worse.
Rovers fans sang "It's there it's everywhere Johnson's jaw" for a couple of season after that.
