Im thinking Johns, Orford, Gower, Cronk, Morgan and Fittler. Who else?

Who is better at defending out of Lockyer and Thurston?

Peter Wallace was solid.

I certainly wouldn't call Thurston a good defender, though not many halves are

Thurston has had at least 400 missed tackles on Hayne in State of Origin and NRL games so either Hayne is a beast or Thurston can't tackle.

People point in down to lack of quality tackling technique but to me it comes down to body structure. From my observation, halves that are good at defending tend to have broader shoulders, something Thurston, Sandow and Lockyer don't have.
