100 Biggest Hits Of All Time (NRL) - GGOA Clips #4

The ultimate NRL big hits compilation.
From Sonny Bill Willams to Jorge Taufua, we’ve found 100 of the BIGGEST hits of all time!
All hits are ONLY from the NRL competition, we did not consider Super League, State Of Origin or International matches.
The hits must be legal at the time the hit was placed (i.e: the hit can’t be penalised). FYI, the shoulder charge ban came in effect in 2012.
We aren’t considering attacking hits, so no barges or strong fends, all hits must be from the defensive team.

"Cmon Jorge ,that man has a family" that's gold😂

[@deadshot-yt4278]

legendary

[@feaolasalo3147]

Yooo that’s a crazy line 😹😹

[@craigl676]

Amen to that. Gold

[@LiamPorter2005]

10:27 what year is this happened

[@leekekwick4496]

The man learnt well from Matai. Steve for those who don’t know.

[@Owii13LeZane]

Steve Matai will always be the best hit man pound for pound that played Rugby League.

[@icekartel8665]

☝️ He got both Burgess brothers too. Punching well above his weight ✍️

[@amandstunts]

@@icekartel8665 Hohaia on Metro was better smallest vs biggest on field, Chanel Tavita Harris is also pretty lethal for a little skinny half

[@CG-ee5jd]

Jorge Taufua making 50 of the top 100 hits 🔥

[@s.91.a]

went the whole video thinking how’d they miss matai? Then to see him at #1!! absolutely nailed it!

[@markgregory983]

The harrigan / carrol hit is my most memorable ever. Its timing in the season, and the rivalry was massive. It was such a pivotal shot for so many reasons.

[@MCW710]

It’s beyond me how you only have 18k subscribers. This is the best NRL content on KZbin

[@gorohuganiga4268]

Steve Matai and George Taufua absolutely are absolute beasts taking out anything below and above their weight class...their shots are different

[@SuperchargedSauce]

It would be scary asf to play them when both of them were still playing and starting for manly

[@alldaydevo]

The commentators energy after a good clean shot is so good

[@Toast2005]

Massive hits are the best thing in the Rugby League. It's why Origin is so good

[@havensouljah]

solid list only one i can think missing that deserved to be mentioned was segeyaro (when he was with cowboys) launching himself torpedo style cant remember who he hit but it was awesome.. also honorable mention to Ben Matulino when he folded issac luke sam thaiday scott prince and chris houston (i think)

[@faronanderson2536]

Jorge Taufua, bloody hell !!! James Segeyaro's shots, wow !!!

[@paulkedward1788]

If this video doesn't prove that the shoulder charge is a legitimate great tackle and should be reintroduced to the game I don't know what is.

[@manmountain3205]

Steve matai hands down goes down as the greatest timed hit in history 💪💪💪💯💯💯💯

[@Toast2005]

I don't know what's more impressive, the tackles or the fact that most of these guys held onto the ball. Wow

[@marktaylor5671]

This is the best big hits compilation I have seen on KZbin . Definitely agree with #1

[@danrawcliffe87]

Only one thats criminal being left out is Crocker snapping Stewart in the GF. But this by far the best compilation on KZbin! Bloody brilliant!

[@manlydoos]

It was a forearm to the head! Not much of a hit there

[@tempted9208]

Can’t wait for future videos !!

[@gunmarra7866]

Awesome hits thanks for sharing 👍

[@MrWah79]

Great list, although i think you've included the same Jake Friend tackle twice. Great countdown and good to see a few in there from guys who aren't renowned for their defence. Good job!

[@winston.neville]

this might be the best and most important video on the internet

[@jordanscott9726]

These was the days with the hits n should bring em back in to all rugby

[@sweetsaltypeach224]

when NRL was actually fun to watch... will be missed.

[@s0m3rand0mb01]

one that’s been underrated was Olakau’atu and Aloiai’s shot on Olam this season

[@LiamPorter2005]

I agree favourite big hits are Olakau’tu and Aloiai shot on Justin Olam

[@Perkins_szn]

This is great thx so much for the upload

[@boggytrails]

Steve Matai had to be number one. 🎉 You missed at least 10 more of his but loved it

[@leekekwick4496]

Def could’ve had a few more from Steve Matai in there as for me some of his hits are unparalleled, but other than that was a very good video.

[@superkev-ls4kn]

Amazing complication - and thanks for not ruining it with some cheesy rap music

[@brodylocke7901]

Just what I needed, thank you

[@michaelbiggs1254]

He's hit him with everything. Including his birth certificate. This is why Aussie RL commentators are the best in the world.

[@nathanodwyer8336]

1. Matai on Tyrrell 2. Taufua on Munster The rest are honourable mentions

[@user-uv8yn9jh1v]

Good list and needs to include some more

[@Dickey1996]

Man the Warriors and Raiders have had some players who can snap people over the years 😂

[@troymomma]

Hohia"s is my favourite, timing and technique and a win for the smaller guys

[@amandstunts]

Chanel Tavita Harris back next year to serve up some nightmares

[@aidanszkutenko5093]

And manly

[@10rgv]

Love love LOVE this

[@Knightmair19]

This is objectively the best video on KZbin

[@andrewblack423]

Oh man that was bloody amazing

[@MrBoDiggety]

Wow! This video is FIRE!!! I must've winced in pain at least a dozen times.

[@caseyparslow5564]

I mean this is incredible 🤤👍

[@gabbyt98]

Absolutely underrated channel highlighting the greatest moments of our game. Love your work from Melbourne. Ps I live in an AFL state but hate AFL

[@gerardsearancke6357]

Petero Civoniceva! Get that into ya! Peak commentary 🙌

[@mazzakhan1807]

Video suggestion: Top Tries on 5th and last and/or the top game winners. Hazel el magic side line conversion to keep the doggies 16 game win streak alive against Newcastle, my all time game winner. Keep up the great content👍🏽

[@mrdjhex]

Awesome reel of hits!!!

[@amandstunts]

Kidwell on Mason, or Kidwell on anyone, and the reverse Wiki hitup on Solialo, Missing a few Francis Meli, and Vatuvai, and special mention Kevin Locke versus the goal post

[@jumboj]

best clips to watch

[@RainbowRarkz]

no music all commentary ... fucking love it

[@markaitken8996]

best big hits video on you tube ..take a bow sir well done !!!

[@seanolsen4678]

The best utube vid ive eva watched thx for making my churr

[@kirbsinoz]

Great video 🎆 thankyou 🤝🏼

[@rikkikelly2325]

Great list no arguments here 😂😂😂

[@shanebrady7647]

I’m new to this game (love it) been watching about 4 months. Half of these ‘great’ tackles are penalties & 10 in the bin in 2023

[@WordWizardOne]

quality edit...how are the sounds of some of these collisions.....sucks you can't lead with the shoulder..anymore....you can see why though from a concussion perspective...but having to wrap the arms makes it harder now for the tackler...and more likely to lead to head collisions...as they try to wrap their arms high and front on....bring back the biff..

[@kanedodd2125]

Over 50% of these would be a send off these days 😂😂😂

[@GoldBawls]

Most of them are from the last few years🙄

[@blowonthepie100]

Nigel Plum and Ben Matulino were 2 under rated hitters of their time

[@DrayDrayn]

Number 1 will always be the best. That technique was flawless.

[@manmountain3205]

Moses leota on latrell mitchell please include on your next video thanks

[@Damonicus1]

Great list. My faves were 83, 59, 30, 24, 19, 9 + 5.

[@Adam-oy4ix]

Needed more Steve Matai.....dude broke people in half for fun

[@JoshuaRoberts-kq9cs]

Not to mention he got paid to do it.What a job to have.

[@Fuzcapp]

I'm sitting here thinking, "Please please - the Craig Field hit."

[@solidostso8500]

Gotta love it

[@tmeister8870]

That's gold 🥇

[@LeagueMixtape]

More compilation videos please!!!

[@skankhunt_42_]

Nice work

[@kozadactyl660]

Matt Rua’s hit on Trent Barrett definitely needs to be in there. Same with Ruben Wiki on Adrian Lam

[@tasmancollier3530]

Well put together ,. a test match montage next pls ,.,

[@BeckhamStocks]

Hey man, you should do a video about grand final rematches I love to see it 😊

[@Fuzcapp]

There was a hit in the Manly v Melb game a few weeks ago that will go into future lists. It's a brutal game.

[@strittech8980]

Was it Olakau'atu on Olam?

[@fat.s9601]

love this but the Michael Jennings hit on Jake Turpin in the 2019 elimination final needed to be on here

[@cressida00]

Tahu awesome shot, lined him up from way out.Attacked from perfect line.

[@user-df8fs1td2z]

Only one that was missing was sam burgess on moi moi off a drop out. That was a shot!!!!

[@kylelouer4323]

I do appreciate a good hit job.

[@RenegadeRanga]

My favourite tackles are the good mid torso height that come in hard and fast. The tackles that resemble shoulder or chest charges are no good and result in bad concussions. Great compilation.

[@isaacewart107]

Expect this to have 1m plus views within the year

[@joshtaylor9774]

These hits would be a send off these days 😔

[@tigerwarsaw99]

'Unnecessary aggression' 🙄

[@stevvvvveperry]

Yeah 90% of these would be a penalty lol it's a shame.

[@oo7hashassin173]

Can’t wait for he kids growing up today who play and watch this as adults when it’s been out the game maybe 10-15yrs and they’ve not experienced it 😂😂😂

[@strittech8980]

Happy to see Matai is still No.1. The hit by Matai on George Burges should have been kn this list

[@oooooosh_2753]

The good days 💯

[@geraldashby3117]

Gonna take something special to take out that #1 hit of Steve ''shoulders' Matai!!

[@lastmohican9788]

It was only fit to have rhe hitman himself at number 1😊 plus, that was his one and only entry

[@oooooosh_2753]

1:30 been looking for the SBW Flannery hit for awhile. 🥇

[@saveit4last]

Some classic commentator one liners in this video

[@jimzo1985]

big hit and hospital pass compo all in 1

[@colinr1960]

Before everyone’s time, I guess, but in 1978 at Leichhardt Oval, The Big ‘O’, Olsen Filipaina (Balmain) cut Terry Fahey (South Sydney) in half with THE best tackle I have ever seen. Have never seen a better tackle, head on, one big man on another. That tackle turned over possession, lead to a try and changed the momentum of the game. Personal opinion but one I hold strongly.

[@troystaunton254]

Is it on video?

[@colinr1960]

@@troystaunton254 I’ve looked but can’t find it. Checked with my brother and pretty sure it was 1978 but we may be wrong. At Leichhardt Oval, southern end near the quarter line near the Grandstand side. Terry Fahey is running the ball out and The Big ‘O’ drives into his stomach with his shoulder, stops him dead and drives him back a couple of yards and puts him on his back. Ball is propelled forward as he is driven back. From that turnover, Tigers scored in the next set and the game swung to them. Pro tip: DON’T run at The Big ‘O’! 40 odd years later and I still remember it.

[@JoshuaRoberts-kq9cs]

Olsens coach said to him, I'll put you on twenty minutes before half time then I'll pull you off at half time.Olsen that's great because in NZ we only get oranges at half time.

[@Tom1Wills]

Get that into ya!

[@danielbate13]

My favourite is when Hetherington and Webcke absolutely flattened Mark Carroll in Origin, was it about 2000?

[@adamwaters9110]

I wouldn’t have picked the top 2 any differently. Great video. I feel like an honourable mention should go to Greg Inglis on Chris Sandow. It wasn’t a tackle because HE had the ball, but Sandow tried to put a shot on (and sometimes he would pull it off) and Inglis just absolutely bounced him.

[@carloreid3545]

Sandow went flying but you’re right he put on a lot of good hits for a little bloke

[@CrackDCat]

I played Prop/Second Row as a kid, so I could only imagine 4:22 is every Halfback's fear lol

[@buddyray69]

Half back moses on the Storm prop on his try line is missing.. 😉 But great video. We'll done..

[@CromwellMTG]

True blue aussie commentary at its finest

[@james27370]

Number 8 man after the hit he punched him like man tried to make it more personal

[@ovalefiapoko9958]

Nice video

[@ozmatt1222]

Marc Glanville on Craig Field will forever be number 1.

[@LiamPorter2005]

2:02 what year is that big hit from

[@morbidclash]

Where is the kidwell vs mason tackle??

[@scoobydoobydoo4880]

5:35 Rabs: Oh, Friend has been hit by the big blue fella. Gosh I miss Rab's commentary LOL. A couple of notable omissions: 2013: Sam Burgess on Sonny-Bill Williams 2008: Tonie Carroll on John Kite

[@arnzwestarmstrong9173]

Where’s the Reuben wiki shot on petero??

[@deltabrainwave69]

I miss Andy Raymond on comms. Anyone know why he lost his job at Fox?

[@NSDKumar_97]

evens on kasiano?

[@spangas5799]

Some absolutely pure tackling perfection in here...among some ruthless shit!

[@RRamUChilEloyd]

Bring on the new season. I can’t watch this and say put that one up higher , who cares . What a game and yeah the commentary is pretty funny too as I remember it .

[@bruisermb276]

At the start I said Idk how Issac Luke’s hit was 100, then as I got further through the video I was like maybe that’s the right spot for him.

[@viliame.]

You should do 5 interesting dacts about every state of origin
