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.

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.

Dale Fritz.......100% machine

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).

For my club David Watkinson, Gavin Miller, Len Casey, Gordon Smith.....

Nathan Hindmarsh , Ray Price , Peter Sterling are best i have seen otherwise (honourable mention for Ian Potter..)

Chris 'Bus Stop' Burton

Ian's still involved in the game - My lad's coach at Town Team, and a good one at that!

That's good news - I didn't know Ian socially but he seemed like a good bloke

This one.
