Marc Glanvilles hit of the 90's

[suburbanknight]

Can anyone help me out on the details of one of the most ferocious tackles seen in the 90's by my ex Leeds hero Marc Glanville? Its been the winner in several polls I've seen on the net over the years but I cant for the life of me remember who he hit and in what game?

Cheers

I think that would be the tackle in which he absolutely smashed Craig Field at Brookvale oval 1997 i believe ? Is that the tackle you mean?

There are so many great Glanville smashes to choose from but your right....Thats the one. Thanks very much matt

Yeah that was a cracker. It was a manly home game. It happened off a scrum from memory.

I'm still amazed Field got up from that, he folded like a piece of paper when Glanville hit him. They've replayed it several times on Boots n All. He was a devastating tackler at the best of times, but that one was perfect.

My favourite tackle glandville made was in 96. It was at ANZ. He ran from the back of the scrum, all the way across to the other side of the field to tackle handcock into touch after he had made a break. He showed great pace and commitment.

As fatty said, it was either glandville or 6 points.

Hehehe.. I remember that one.

It was a bell-ringer.

I also remmeber thinking how much a tool fatty was.

Nothing's changed.

Little fellows should stick to playing halfback.

I didn't realise it was so popular and indeed well-known. I've been proclaiming that for years as one of the best I've seen. Glandville is a pretty chunky bloke, a lot of power in his chest and middle-section. He ran hard at him and drove so hard at him that he almost came out the other side leaving an exit wound the size of Tasmania. :shock:

You sure did, and he's still got it, made our boys pay a few times in that game, scored a try too if I remember correctly

I'd say the hit on Craig Field is the biggest hit I've ever seen in RL.
