Big Ben Matulino all the way. He doesn't just smash little dudes either. Here's a tiny sampling of hits from this year: http://www.nrl.com/the-warriors-best-hits-of-2011/tabid/10874/newsid/65035/default.aspx (well, 3 out of 5 are him, anyway)

That one on Ryles was awesome. Even the ref had a smile on his face after that one.

The one on Prince was great too. Dummy. Dummy. Smash.

Will always rate props/second rowers who can hit above guys like Idris who may be big hitters but rely more on blindsiding guys than delivering genuine front on hits.

And the fact Idris is usually hitting a much smaller man out wide, Matulino, Edwards, Pritchard etc all hitting much bigger men usually.

Not in the NRL anymore but Sia Soliola is the best I have seen.

In the Nigel Plum mould with his technique, but man he could hurt them. Alot of big hitters look great, but don't really "hurt" their victims.

Soliola was a killer. Not sure if they're on you tube but there were a couple of hits he did in 2009 on Shannon McPherson and Josh Perry that were just colossal.

Never seen a couple of more stunned footballers.

People have already said that which needs to be said....the bloke that wrote this clearly hasn't looked hard enough.... Matulino is no.1 by a long way....

Edwards for sure. Costigan when he's fit is a ferocious defender.

Idris? Please. He;s a big hit with the kids, McDonalds owners and Phil Gould.

Classic. He's a legend lmao.. Even though it was bad I guess, look how hard he was running from the kick off to put a big hit on
