Hardest Player to tackle

Who in your opinion is the hardest player to tackle in the NRL? I might be completely biased but for mine its hard to go past Taniela Tuiaki at the moment. No one seems to get a clean shot and he is regularly making a line break a game from nothing. Another who seems to always bust the first first tackle is Greg Eastwood.

Mase is extremely hard to stop close to the line - proof in the pudding was last night early with his try.

I always thought Wade MacKinnon appears hard to tackle...he just has that running style.

Over the last 4 years, CLinton Schifcofske was one I always thought made plenty of defenders work...he was really difficult.

My CLub - Michael Gordon....I think he beats the first tackle nearly every time. He for a little guy...just has incredible leg drive.

i Can believe SBW hasnt been mentioned... he would prob be the hardest to tackle and contain. Always seem to be able to get the ball away. Mckinnon is another one that always beat the 1st tackle

SBW is easy to tackle. Get on his back and around the legs and he's out for the count.

last half of last year Corey Parker seemed like he couldnt be tackled.

Utai, McKinnon, Steve Bell, Moimoi, Mason, Tuiaki, Grothe.

Then if Minichiello gets back to form, he is basically king of breaking tackles.
