Top 6 biggest hitters

[hybrid_tiger]

Matulino and Ellis should both be there.

 

[DoggiesBro]

Matulino, Pritchard and Edwards HAVE to be in there.

 

[Talons]

Robert Lui ?

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Oh wait, nah - Crockett's was 4 minutes in. Morley wins this round.

That is not a send off. Great hit although high, should have been ten in the bin.

 

[Glenn]

Idris WTF.

Obviously a mix up with the biggest turnstile list.

 

[Fibroman]

Where is Joel Edwards?

I wouldn't say Edwards is the biggest hitter in the NRL, but in my opionion he is the best hitter with the best technique.

 

[Special K]

Matulino should be on there as is Matai/idris above Taga

 

[Loudstrat]

What about the mighty Fui?

Freddy loved this hit against his old club. And as Joey said - cutie was in Tokyo after this one!

I'm not sure how Plum could be considered the biggest hitter in anyone's list. There's a difference between being a consistently strong tackler and destroying people. I don't know why people can't tell the difference between a very good tackler and a hit man. What do you know about hitting people so hard they levitate?

I'd go Masoe, Matai, Josh Miller, Tasi, Sims(Ashton), Matulino

6 is too low a number. Blokes like Gallen aren't big hitters, I almost spit my coffee out reading that. Gallen is a typical "let me hug" you type tackler. I'd rather get lined up by Segeyaro or Sandow.

Josh Miller > Everybody < Mose Masoe

Those 2 are highlights machines. Consider that neither of those 2 blokes post much in the way of minutes either.

[Moffo]

Are we talking on or off the field?

 

[Loudstrat]

Chamayne Pavlisi.

Seriously, if Fui hit any of the pretenders mentioned in the top 6, even their grandchildren would be rattled.

That's a lot of the reason why they are in this list. I'm sure there's more players that are capable of being considered a huge hitter - but it's not in their interests to go launching shots all game. They'd be knackered and unable to play the minutes they need to.

That's why I think Matulino is top of the tree. Plays reasonable minutes, doesn't exactly launch himself into his hits but gee they stick.

Josh Miller.........hmmm

Looking at your links;

1. head clash with Weyman
2. Miller comes off 2nd best
3. Miller comes off 2nd best
4. repeat of the Weyman head clash

Miller>everybody ........I don't think so.

You can say a lot of things about Matai, but he has put on some big hits over the years.

Put a good shot on Hannant in the prelim..........

 

[RHCP]

I wouldn't call Miller a big hitter, kamikaze would be more apt.

I disagree. I understand the rationale and considered it before my post, but I can't see someone becoming a hitman by having reduced minutes or vice versa. I think you need size and/or a complete disregard for your own health. Michael Luck for example is never going to be a hitman whether he plays 80 or 5 minutes.

In some cases or as a general rule it might be true to an extent obviously people get tired and hurt playing longer minutes and sometimes looking for hits can be a negative, but with a lunatic like Josh Miller and a sizable monster like Masoe I think you'd get the same thing no matter the minutes.

Matulino should launch himself into his hits. It's the one criticism I have of him. Right now he's a top 10 hitter and arguably number 1 for consistency, but he could be so much more savage if he fired up. Even hen he stands back and lets people run at him he gives them whiplash! He's a bit laid back at times. An evil and angry twin of Matulino would kill people :lol:

Seems to have a penchant for head clashes.

 

[Glen]

Fui Fui puts some brutal shots on.


I love when Krisnan Inu fires up too, puts on some massive hits. It's just a shame he doesn't fire up often enough

Chamayne Pavlisi.

An 18 year old sam burgess might disagree!
