Ouch.

Paul Sironen's big hit on Paul Dixon in 1988 at the SFS was shocking. All legal - but the hardest hit I've ever seen - and heard!!

Ouch again.

I was quite near to the challenge and the noise was a proper loud thud. The fact that the noise of the tackle has been picked up by the camera up in the gantry indicates just how loud it was. Leuluai doesn't look the biggest but he doesn't half know how to put the hits in.

Do you call a late hit a tackle?

Clearly committed just good quick hands!

He was blatently committed to tackle, only Wilkin's superior ball handling skills enabled him to get the pass away just in time.

He seems to be putting in these big hits in nearly every game. If he keeps this up he’ll soon be a big favourite of the fans.
