| Dessie Drummond. The shear strength of how he put his shoulder in and lifted the player of the ground.
Class player not just for his tackling

Absolutely!
For someone different at Cas, Brad Hepi had an awesome tackling technique, was always amazing when he came on the field

| Shane Millard for Widnes stands out in my memory for my own club, but Gary Larson (Norths) in the 90's NRL was a tackle-bot and takes the prize for me.

| A while back, but Peter Smith of Featherstone Rovers was the best I've ever seen - he quietly and efficiently put down anyone he needed to; and he always seemed to be there for the really important ones. And a little further back, for those who can remember, Keith Cotton should have a mention on this thread. Those who were tackled by him will certainly remember him.

| The Hardest Tacklers ive seen for Donny are Vila Matautia, Asa Amone, and Peter Edwards. A mean bunch.

| Ones that stand out to me from Bulls in recent years include Scott Naylor (consistently kept the likes of Newlove, Senior and Renouf quiet). Danny Gartner and Sir Bernard Dwyer. I'm sure I'll add a good few more if I think about it. But you tend not to notice the hard-graft tacklers as much as the attacking players, do you?
For other clubs, a couple that stood out that immediately spring to mind are Steele Retchless (amazing) and Marc Glanville (under-rated by many I often thought).

| Adrian Vowles was an animal, remember him cleaning a fair few out over his time at Cas.
Fritz was a tackling machine.
Tuuta put some good ones on, and could even hit below the head at times.
