I'll throw one in there, 2001 Matt Rua cut Barrett in half at fullspeed. Wish I could find footage as I doubt anyone remembers.

Jarryd Haynes hit on Lockyer in the World Cup was awesome, so was his hit on Shannon McDonnell 3 years ago.

SBW, Tahu, Hayne, Burgess, O'Meley and Morley are some of the best hitters I have ever seen. Great part of the game. Should be encourged.

LOL @ you taking the time to mention Hayne. Look at the players he's hit - Lockyer & McDonnell WOW...he must be so proud

Robbie Ross destroying Lam's world in I think 99 was the biggest I've seen. Lam at full pace, Ross completely blindsided him and the resulting error led to a try.

Was epic

Yep 100%

There is a highlights clip on Bigpond sport from 2007 (i think), and some of the hits from Tahu and Hayne are HUGE.

Sure, Hayne's hit on McDonnell wasn't overly courageous or a massive collision of bodies. But heck, it was a sweet shot. Was so eye catching that it looked scripted.

I agree. That whole play was just epic.

But alas, was last millennium. We got 90 years to go to decide this years one! The Burgess hit, while very, very good, wont even make the top 20!

Guttenbiel on Cadic i believe was one of the best hit ive seen. Even if he was like 5 metres offside

Another one that springs to mind is Asotasi putting a rock bottom on finch. Classic

The hit by Guttenbeil was easily the best hit I've seen, but as you say, it was a penalty so is void. ;-)

I was being a touch facetious by calling Sunday's one the hit of the milllenium, clearly. It was a beauty though and this thread has recanted some other beauties. Post them if they are available.

Many years ago , it was in a semi final I think, Brad Izzard for the Panthers cut old back door Ben Elais in half, huge tackle and could not have happened to a bigger grub!

SBW on Flannery is the best, and for Flannery holding on to the ball made it even better!
