[morri (cWo)]

Luke Covell, Travis Burns, TC

 

[lockyno1]

Johnson easily

 

[VictorTheViking]

Are we talking about technique, hard hitting, or all round defensive capability?

Are we talking about technique, hard hitting, or all round defensive capability?

If so then i would have to say Dallas Johnson

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

Alan Tongue...derr

 

[Join The Bandwagon]

Ben Smith

 

[Iafeta]

The Knight Ryder, Roy Bell and Joven Clarke, great names from the past with a zest to put on a big hit. Many great defensive memories there, their NRL careers gone, but never forgotten.

 

[MKEB...]

In terms of hard hitting, Sam Rapira is going great for us, but in terms of defensive consistency and getting the 1%ers right in defence, Micheal Luck.

Evarn Tuimavae is hitting the occasional bugger for six as well this season...but youare right with Luck tacklin ,tackling and tackling some more.

From the Knights;

Hardest hitter - Steve Simpson
Hardest worker - Danny Buderus
Surest tackler - Kurt Gidley

 

[VictorTheViking]

I could pick a number of guys that have put on some great shots this year, but 3 really stick out

The obvious Alan Tongue, Lincoln Withers, and Scott Logan

 

[MKEB...]

Three tackling machines that will always stick out for me...Glary Larson,Richard Swain and Mike McLean

 

[Where Eagles Dare]

Beaver. Has only played 2 full games this season but jeez he's good.

 

[Dutchy]

pound for pound - Travis Burns
Hard + technique - Dallas Johnson
Technique + workload - Tongue and Williamson

 

[DeeJ]

Dallas Johnson has been awesome this year. Not only does he top the count often he can pull off a few big hits.

 

[Mr Saab]

Tonie Carroll is an absolute axe. He just lines guys up and monsters them.

f**k I'd hate to run at him.

Yep, he is a supreme hitter.
Broke the ribs of both Josh Perry and Brent Webb in last 2006.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Slammin' Sammy Rapira, woot

 

[Charlie124]

Hard/good/clean hitter - Menzies/Johnson
Perfect technique - Johnson
Workhorse - Tongue/Johnson
Big Hitter but often goes wrong - Southern/Mattai/Carroll

 

[Stonecutter]

Greg Bird.

Just ask Josh Morris.

 

[Inferno]

Isaac De Gois has put more than a couple of much bigger guys on their ass, although all round his defence is good, not great.

The Knight Ryder, Roy Bell and Joven Clarke, great names from the past with a zest to put on a big hit. Many great defensive memories there, their NRL careers gone, but never forgotten.

Best thing about those guys, they were so quick, they could go for the big hit, miss and then run back and have another go before someone else could get a crack;-)

 

[Dazzat]

Greg Eastwood is the apprentice, Carroll is the master.
