Who was that Cas thuggish second rower (I think) who Received a dose of rough justice from Ray Price and spent about ten minutes reeling all over the ground in a daze as though he'd just spent a night in the Graziers? The image is still strong in my mind, but I can't recall the Cas player's name. He didn't try it on again though.

It was Ron Gibbs, and it wasnt Price it was Eden, thats the only thing i remember

Gibbs head bounced off Eden's knee in a tackle and got concussed. Wishing on a star!!!!!!!!

For my money Graham Idle by a country mile with Nigel Bell and John Burke also worth a mention

It is a funny one this, best workrate Idle, Hardest Skerrett, copybook Slater IMHO Toppo once told me at a Dinner that Trevor was the hardest Tackler he had ever seen in UK and down under.

Jamie Rooney

Kevin Henderson

When he went on tour down under he was in the mid week team, one game, which is online somewhere, the Aussie commentators were raving about him, questioning why he wasn't playing in the starting line up and that he would go well down under.
He did a big tackle and they all cheered it.

Think we must be thinking of different incidents Cyclone.

I rember the incident cyclone mentions, I think it was shown on Scrumdown.

Gary "exorcet"hegarty

They are the unsung hero's, the tackling machines.
Nigel Bell is a gimme but John Glancy alongside him was a good portion of the engine room late 80's early 90's
In later years I thought Mortimer and Demetrieu went the extra mile to make a tackle.
Ray Price had proper damaging technique.
I would also mention Paul Mallinder, but we don't really count a knockout punch as a tackle these days...lol

Do remember Hegarty putting in an amazing tackle on wing at Batley but also remember some big hits by Aussie Geoff Gerrard in his spell at Wakefield. Pound for pound there cant be many better tacklers than Danny Brough but overall would go for Trever Skerett.

Surprised that nobody has mentioned Bob Haigh !Thought some of the "oldies" would remember him.
