I don't like foul play, I would dislike seeing any forward with a reputation as a head hunter in the squad. They give away needless penalties.
It's a tough enough game as it is without those sorts playing.
Notice how they never faze or get the better of good tough hard-working fair players?
Perhaps my language was a bit OTT. I think we're lacking a player in the mould of Alex Rowe or Richard Moore (good, tough, hard working and mostly fair). It's a tough game and these sort of players give a team an edge. They certainly have when they've played against us recently.
Aggression is part of the game. In fact I've seen "Be aggressive" written on many a changing room wall. So long as it's controlled it's fine. Some of our best players had a reputation for that. At the moment we still have a very young pack who would benefit from some experienced bruisers.
