Manly have two nominations.

Geoff Toovey, and

Jake Trbojevic.

-You can google those two if you're not familiar (cough).

Nathan Hindmarsh is a clear leader at the moment. Is internet free 'out west'?

Remember michael speechley , what a classic legs defender. Always came up with the bootlaces.

 

[The Who]

Allan Thompson and Ima Martian were fantastic low tacklers, but Jake is the best currently playing.

I had to vote for Tooves, but Beaver is the best defender I have seen.

The the Hindmarsh comment fair dinkum???

There has never been anyone like Randall.

Comments about Ian Martin, Beaver and Jake are spot on.

Garry Larson was a favourite of mine through his sheer work rate.

Gillespie and Gillmeister were good.

 

[BOZO]

Pound for Pound Toovey is not only the best defender but the biggest hitter of all time

He was called The Lawn Mower for a reason, brilliant technique’

 

[maxta]

I reckon in todays game no particular order
Jake
Radley
Cam Murray

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Christopher Sandow

pound 4 pound with 50+ tackles per match, Matt Ballin was awesome

 

[castle eagle]

you've got to be fair when talking about hindmarsh, his numbers were pretty good.
back then all you needed to do was touch the tackled player to get credit for being in the tackle & he was the best at it
