In one.
One of the best defenders in the world on his day, will never forget his Charge down on Sinfields drop goal in the 05 Challenge Cup.
Richie Barnett Snr is worth saying purely for the amount of power he'd put in his tackles. |

Steele Retchless was always a machine when it came down to tackling for us.

At Doncaster... Sean Leaf. He'd tackle a bus if it meant stopping it scoring.

51!!!
Was gonna say Mick. Otherwise, my memories are of Ian Gildart. Used to average around 40 tackles a game. Bloody useless running at the line though! 
Steele Retchless though was the one player I can remember from modern times for being truly renowned for his work in defence. |

Jimmy Taylor for Leigh at the moment. Tackles hard and consistantly and one against sheffield a few weeks ago was amazing!

Funny you mention that - I played a few times against Denis Betts and Ian Gildart when they played together at u15's & u17's - Gildart was the star of the show and was touted as the next big thing... then when they turned pro, he lost his running game completely and the coaches turned him into a workhorse
Betts of course went on to GB honours and NRL
You never know do you!

You've stolen my washing
From out my back garden
You've tarmacked my driveway
Even though I said no
You've nicked my lead flashing
And weighed it in at the scrappy
Oh St Helen's tatters
Come rob me again:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25852.jpg |

He holds the SL game record, doesn't he? 66 or something like.
In his relatively short Bulls career, Tahi Reihana did a bit. Langers (Jamie Langley) is a bit of a tackle machine as well.

Iolo. My mum is dead actually
Thanks for that
Scooter Nik. Yeah right. Of course she is, probably turned up her toes in disgust at having spawned a prat like you:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44411.png |

only our first season but has to be Ryan O'Hara, 627 so far not outstanding but about 100 more than anyone else

Many of these guys will inevitably be forwards. To mix it up a bit, how's about Alfie Langer. Was always bowled over with the way he'd pull down the biggest lads on the pitch time and time again.
Back to Wigan (sorry!) and an obvious one - Dean Bell was always immense in defence!

Still to this day don't know if I've seen another player who you might say suited the term workhorse quite like Gildart did. Don't think he was ever hero material, but I hope he reads this, as he was my favourite player as a kid cos I loved tackling. |

Ian Morrison was good for us in our national league days although our best tackler now is probably galea, briscoe or murrell although stats show murrell and galea also miss a few.
Jimmy Walker was great defender for us back in the dark days once doing 60+ tackles in one game and then being taken to hospital with a broken arm after the same game (plus the hit he put on carvell at the kc in a 'friendly' that knocked him out)
Richard Slater had a year at Rovers and was solid alongside Paul Fletcher in our back row.
The best tackler i've seen against us or live include Gary connolly and Richard Swain (as others have said).
