Best defensive technique

[Vee]

Victor Radley hits well above his size.

Jake Granville goes alright but Jake Trb-manly is probably better.

Others?

Jake Trbojevic for me....Radley is great along with Cam Murray and also Matt Gillette....good to see him back.

 

[SBD82]

De Belin. Has been doing it a long time too.

 

[Life's Good]

Not sure about the best but Dale Finucane is a very good defender.
I’ll also add in Josh Jackson(about the only part of his game Peter Sterling can rightly froth over).

 

[Bazal]

Definitely Cheteshwar Pujara

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Aubusson massively underrated

 

[BranVan3000]

As much as I hate the bloke... Cameron Smith by far

I was going to say this. Never misses a tackle and always wraps up the ball. And defends far above his weight most of the time as well.

If you take into consideration the wrestle as well which I consider even more important that smith is right up there.

Fair call.

My question was about "pure" technique rather than wrestle but smith is among the best at both.

TBH, he differs from the first few because he wrestles from the start and is very effective at it before his grubby wrestling after the tackle is complete that we all hate.

Yeh apart from missing a tackle for the first broncos try on Thursday

Head first.

 

[TheDMC]

Simon Mannerking...limpet like

 

[AJB1102]

Ben Pomeroy

 

[some11]

Head first.

I think we know now why Napa did this, it's impolite to touch people when you're into fisting your own arse.

 

[Iafeta]

Jake Granville? For real? There’s a turnstile to run through for the ages.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

In terms of effective tackling instead of hard hitting Michael luck was just robotic.

 

[Someguy]

This won’t be popular but early in his career Thaiday had great technique. Probably best in the game if he remains in the game is de Belin
