Greatest Tackle Ever?

Morley put a huge shot on King about 5 years back that sent King airbourne. The next play Matai dropped the ball scared Morley was going to belt him, so Morley hammered him after he dropped it.
 
The one that comes to my mind was a hit put on next seasons recruit Bell. Cant remember who the defender was. Maybe SBW?

SBW certainly put a big shoulder on Joel Clinton a few years back, sent sweat and water flying on the super slow-mo.
 
What a great Topic! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only old bugger on this Forum. Well done Spearby to bring up Les Johns. Now there was a fullback, I really think that he's the best I've seen - including Langlands and Eadie. I believe that he's Joey's and Matty's uncle.
As for huge tackles, I remember a City v Country match in the late 50's (50's?) when Brian Clay destroyed the wonderfully elusive Darcy Henry (Pace, Wests supporters) and another one of Clay's which absolutely annihilated Lewis Jones in the World Cup. I think that Clay was the hardest tackler that I've seen including the modern blokes. He could play centre, five eighth or lock and terrorised everybody that he came up against. Johnny Raper was far and away the best tackler that I've ever seen, and the best footballer, but he didn't injure opponents, just cut their legs from under them - and he never missed!
Here endeth the Ancient History Lesson - sorry.

Saw Ron Coote do some beauties but one sticks in my mind was Andrew Ettingshausen running down and taking out Martin Offiah in a test match at the SCG.
The whole crowd was on their feet not believing he could get to him.
 
hard to pick one, so many different types of tackles, Scotty Sattler was a cracker and my personal favourite given the moment.

The best tackle I ever saw was actually in a Shute Shield match and Scott Gourlay returning to rugby(which he is much more suited to) smashed a halfback who had shot down a blind side, he hit him so hard he knocked him into the fence, a good 3-4 m past the side line, he didn't pick him up and drive him, he just belted him so hard he flew than slid that far. Interestingly the bloke he tackled reckoned it didn't hurt him at all. Was an incredible tackle.

i wish someone would do that to archer or shayne hayne
 
Dwyer on hargeaves hands down…..
But in 06 I remember Gibbs trying to tackle mark o meley's shoulder with his head and dropped straight down. He smashed into him at full stride, just caught the wrong part of o meley
 
Have to agree with the Sattler and Dwyer tackles already mentioned. Another tackle that comes to mind is the hit byt Geoff Robinson playing for Canterbury on Peter Sterling. From memory, Sterling was poleaxed taking part in one of the Jack Gibson inspired 'wall' tap kick moves.
 
Hahahaha cunno I saw a clip of that not long ago. Maybe thats what took off all those golden locks of his, he got bloody nailed. The bloke just lined em up like Dominos
