Absolutely!

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

Yep. That's one way of describing it

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.

For Northern...Jimmy Thompson and Karl Fairbanks...they hit you..and you'd know it!!!

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

I'll give you that one, still effective though

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).

Talking of Dean Bell ........... how about Jarrod McCracken

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.

brendan tuuta was an awsome tackler both for us and fev,you dont get the name baby faced assasin for nothing.

also id give a mention to tony morrison from that cas era and from before then beefy england would tackle all day for you.

my opinion.from wakey and in my time

richard slater as many others have mentioned
nigel bell

and that one great season with ray price was a masterclass.

Larson and Billy Moore were an incredible back row combo. Tackling machines.

the one and only brian sammy hughes when he was at cas.

i never saw him play play but im a good friend of his nephew,unfortunatly brian hasnt been very well for a few years and is a shadow of his former self,his son darren who played for leeds and fev wasnt a bad player either before turning his back on the game to concentrate on work.

George Fairbairn is the best I've seen playing for HKR.

Agree with Naylor, never got the recognition this part of his game deserved.

For me, pre super league has to be Sir Keith Mumby. Super league years I'd go with Stuart Spruce, the way he would just put his body on the line to stop someone at all cost was unreal, as was his reading of the game to be in the right spot to make the hit.

I'd agree with that.

Also scot Gibbs and Gary connerly was top.

Gary Senior for me.

I wish my club was soooooooo good that I could pick out just one good tackler in its entire history!

Just watching Asa and Eddie tackle hurt me.

Kevin Ward told me that Keith England was the best tackler he had ever played with in oz or England so i will take is word for that others are
Dale Friz Machine and here is one for now and future Joe Westerman with his many skills Joe tackling for me his is best part of his game he is 40 a match man.

still waiting then......

Technique wise, James Roby. No one comes close.
