To be fair, the Wests-Roosters game on Sunday was awful for exactly the same reason - laughable defence from both teams.

I can recall one from Amor on Leuluai - but like most "big hits" made with the shoulder it failed to control the ball carrier who was able to bounce to his feet and get a quick play the ball. Give me a controlling, effective tackle that slows the play the ball down over players running around trying to be SBW any day of the week.

They should of course do that but a big hit is also nice to see once or twice a game. I'm going to miss Thomas Leuluai while he recovers from his injury.

Fereti Tuilagi was another former favourite.
