Hopoate on Keith Galloway which pretty much ended Hoppa's career. It was like a flying, backhand karate chop to the face on a bloke half a foot taller than him. He rightly got 15 weeks or something.

i'd rather have a karate chop than a finger up the bum...

You'd rather a karate chop up the bum than a finger? Each to his own.

Paul Harrogan on Ian Lucas. Career ender just when Lucas was threatening to be a true international quality prop.

A weird one was Villa Matautia against Chris Chester (when he was at Wigan), Villa even had the ball and basically dove into Chris legs and Chris went flying.



Possibly looked a lot worse than it was, no penalty came of it but it almost snapped him in half!

nigel vagana on paul deacon must rate pretty high at huddersfield in the test match.

Ron Wileman on Roger Millward Challenge Cup Final Hull V Hull KR 1980. Millward played on despite having his jaw broken, players were made of tougher stuff back then.

yeah but the 9th was the grand final. they made sure he was back for that one

David Hobbs on Greg Conescu?, last minute of the first ashes test 1984, teeth everywhere

Bobbie Goulding on Neil Cowie.



My favourite has to be Kidwell on Mason.

Paul Moriarty on Hugh Waddell in 1988/9 (I think). Moriart just came flying in from the side with his elbow raised, straight at Hugh's jaw, smashing it to pieces.

Hugh Waddell, boy I've not heard that name for a while...
