This is Phillip Leuluai I'm hoping he takes on that role this year!

Rauhihi from the Cowboys is pretty handy,Wiki can go harder than most on his day....
SBW has a dangerous yet exciting technique I like watching him take out the opposing players by my/their supprise

Tonie Carroll for sure - and CONSISTENTLY two or three a game.
Is that his average tackle count per game you're talking about? Sounds about right. :lol: He comes up with some good hits.

Besides the obvious in SBW, a few others who can put players on their arse with authority are Frank Pritchard, Anthony Topou and Roy Asotasi

Leuluai Hands Down.

* Powerhouse prop Kylie Leuluai continues to throw the weights around in gym like they are foam rubber.Leuluai is fast making a reputation as the most feared front on tackler in the NRL.Ben Kennedy confirmed on his arrival at Manly that opposition teams were wary to cart the ball up on Kylie's side of the ruck.

He's just a coward, not really a big hitter.

I still reckon Wiki is the master at the big hit. He'll do it at exactly the right time and just belt the snot out of the player.

And those who mentioned Leuluai, His Uncle Phillip also has a bit of a reputation with hits so it'll be interesting to see how he goes.

I guess you watch basically no Manly matches last season....

Wiki has been smashing blokes for a decade and no one likes to run near him...
Agreed about Costigan also, he seems to have a lot of potential and could definitely be rated highly in the very near future.
SBW puts on great shoulder charges, but as said previous, he would want to be possibly more sparing with them, as would whoever signs him up for mega bucks next contract

Mick Vella in form can hold his own sometimes. Gets dominated by Webcke a lot.

Ask that to some of the Broncos boys what they think of Francis Meli. Coward? Yep, he's been involved in one altercation in his league career but if the shoe fits :roll:

Leuluai's cousin Thomas had a reputation of being a gun play maker. Doesn't always work out that way.
