As its the 'Off Season' I thought I'd start with what players that you would consider to be in the 'Top 6' Grubbiest / Dirtiest Players in the N.R.L. Mine are:
1) Russell Packer
2) Nate Myles
3) Cameron Smith
4) Billy Slater
5) Josh McGuire
6) Nelson Asofa Solomona

It's incredible how those players are either Queenslanders or Melbourne players LOL
Yes, I forgot about Micheal Ennis. He wasnt to popular with Nathan Hindmarsh.
John Hopoate
On a side note did anyone else notice how dirty the Panthers players became after being down by a big margin last night?
I thought Luai, Martin and Korosau in particular got very dirty especially the number 6. I know they are young but when times are good they are over the top excited and happy. Almost gloating! But when times are tough these guys resort to dirty tactics.
defiine dirty players... what is teh category for dirty player. For example Cam Smith is pretty good at getting is team finish the line...
A dirty player is a broad statement. So it could include numerous points such as:
1)Physically using inappropriate tactics to injure the opposition players in the hope of not getting caught.
2) Manipulating referees and disrespecting them / arguing
3) Rascist, sexist, religious comments to opposing players to get them off their game or to retaliate physically
I mean the list is endless and can vary in peoples interpretation.
Les Boyd also comes to mind but he was before the NRL period. I would also consider him more aggressive and tough than dirty.
In no particular order:
Nate Myles, Justin Hodges, Josh McGuire, Michael Ennis, Adam Blair, Cameron Smith
Forgot about Hodges and Blair
Yeah, I don't watch many Canberra games, but this year I noticed how bad Rapana is. He rarely gets panalised for it too.
