Worst Defender In The Nrl

[Unknown Pleasures]

Luke Lewis surely. How many times has he raced in from the wing to let in a try? Also Lee Hookey almost single handedly, with a little help from Garth Wood, lost the game for Souths against Brisbane last Saturday.

 

[Billy Gunn]

Billy Slater!!!!!!!!!

 

[Earl]

Matt Gidley, followed closely by George Carmont

 

[Raider_69]

since signing with Souths, this title belongs to Ben Walker

 

[Rammo]

Chris Wanker/Justine Hodges.

 

[scottyeel]

Luke Covell

 

[Bernster]

George Carmont by a country mile.

 

[Fibroman]

Chris Walker.

You're joking about Lewis surely. I tell my young bloke to watch Lewis when he tackles. Straight out of the text book. He might read the occasional play poorly, but his tackling technique is amoungst the best in the NRL.

 

[Five Dock Bulldog]

The Walker brothers.

 

[Big Panther Cool]

Luke Covell

 

[God-King Dean]

For a fullback it'd have to be Hunt

 

[Bomber]

George Carmont

 

[lazza]

Kimmorley

 

[Johns Magic]

Carmont

Turnstile Chris Walker for me, then daylight, then maybe Preston Campbell

The fact the little fella got knocked out the other month due to his bad tackling technique, shows not only is he statistically bad, but technically bad too

 

[RABK]

George Carmont
Darren Lockyer
Chris Walker

All atrocious defenders.

Preston has a pretty big disadvantage when it comes to tackling. I'm sure if he was bigger he'd have a better success rate...as he does try... you've got to give him that. He's not a shirt grabber or anything.

Of the others, Ben and Chris Walker and George Carmont are pretty bad. And I almost had a heart attack every time Billy Slater had to defend on the wing for QLD last year.

He's not crash hot, but Peachey is a shocking defender for a fullback. Most of the time, even 1 on 1 Peachey will go for the "intercept" with no dummy required.
