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

[@ab3z611]

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.

[@thor4572]

This is peak NRL content

[@Hate_Untamed]

I agree, NRL is getting too soft. I miss the days of big hits and "biffs"

[@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

[@williamspen8909]

Hardout.. That shot that Adrian Morley gave Matai straight after smashing king was pretty out the gates though

[@s.91.a]

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

[@CG-ee5jd]

Jorge Taufua making 50 of the top 100 hits 🔥

[@gorohuganiga4268]

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

[@DaquaviousFriggleton]

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

[@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

[@faronanderson2536]

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

[@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

[@user-ht9mh4cm3f]

outside of the singular dipshit saying every tackle was "tackle of the year" like an American would overdo the call

[@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

[@marktaylor5671]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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)

[@winston.neville]

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

[@MrBoDiggety]

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

[@Knightmair19]

This is objectively the best video on KZbin

[@rikkikelly2325]

Great list no arguments here 😂😂😂

[@tempted9208]

Can’t wait for future videos !!

[@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.

[@nathanodwyer8336]

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

[@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.

[@nixon823]

It's not allowed in nro

[@pooddly9637]

this just proves NRL "fans" should never be allowed to influence the game

[@Toast2005]

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

[@gunmarra7866]

Awesome hits thanks for sharing 👍

[@markaitken8996]

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

[@michaelbiggs1254]

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

[@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.

[@manmountain3205]

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

[@brodylocke7901]

Just what I needed, thank you

[@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👍🏽

[@andrewblack423]

Oh man that was bloody amazing

[@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

[@sweetsaltypeach224]

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

[@gerardsearancke6357]

Petero Civoniceva! Get that into ya! Peak commentary 🙌

[@boggytrails]

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

[@RainbowRarkz]

no music all commentary ... fucking love it

[@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..

[@JosephNader-gw8ek]

Bro you have the best edits I have ever seen. Can you make a state of origin edit with the nsw players pls

[@Damonicus1]

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

[@superkev-ls4kn]

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

[@LeagueMixtape]

More compilation videos please!!!

[@manmountain3205]

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

[@isaacewart107]

Expect this to have 1m plus views within the year

[@DrayDrayn]

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

[@SekinoloSawala-o9j]

Good list and needs to include some more

[@10rgv]

Love love LOVE this

[@seanolsen4678]

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

[@mrdjhex]

Awesome reel of hits!!!

[@tasmancollier3530]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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?

[@Aka_Luthy]

Some classic commentator one liners in this video

[@kozadactyl660]

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

[@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 😂😂😂

[@jumboj]

best clips to watch

[@jordanscott9726]

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

[@jermainedavis1909]

GET THAT INTO YA!!

[@jonathanflavell465]

Steve Matai and George Taufua were elite shoulder droppers with good timing. They could chop up anyone

[@Fuzcapp]

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

[@Perkins_szn]

This is great thx so much for the upload

[@Ticklemehomo9]

These hits would be a send off these days 😔

[@PossumMagic99]

'Unnecessary aggression' 🙄

[@Pool-h5w]

none of these would be send offs, don't try to spin a bs narrative

[@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.

[@caseyparslow5564]

I mean this is incredible 🤤👍

[@americanwelder9865]

That one announcer sounds like an Australian Diddy. “GET THAT INTO YA!” 😂

[@PopCultureCollage]

The commentators say Get that into you! for a tackle leading with the elbow. Classic. Times have changed.

[@geraldashby3117]

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

[@BeckhamStocks]

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

[@CrackDCat]

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

[@Max_m]

I assume given the video qualities that, like in every other contact sport now, the majority of these hits would be nonsense penalties or whatever rugby equivalent?

[@caledunsmore]

Yeah shoulder charges are illegal now. Most of the tackles in this are shoulder charges. Can't have that anymore.. someone might get hurt.

[@Pool-h5w]

@@caledunsmore me when I make shit up:

[@caledunsmore]

@@Pool-h5w Shoulder charges aren't illegal?

[@ovalefiapoko9958]

Nice video

[@buddyray69]

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

[@kirbsinoz]

Great video 🎆 thankyou 🤝🏼

[@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

[@kanedodd2125]

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

[@GoldBawls]

Most of them are from the last few years🙄

[@Pool-h5w]

don't even try to spread this sort of misinformation

[@strittech8980]

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

[@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.

[@Giveme1goodreason]

Is it on video?

[@colinr1960]

@@Giveme1goodreason 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.

[@CromwellMTG]

True blue aussie commentary at its finest

[@ChrisavelliOCE]

I love bit hits.

[@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

[@AaronGraham-w9j]

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

[@cressida00]

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

[@ridervierling2266]

Watching this in 2x speed😂😂

[@kathyhurley1094]

Wow you play a tough game

[@lastmohican9788]

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

[@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

[@felisbuka3633]

1:55 #84 ⚡️🇵🇬 Will be recommending this video to Americans to react 👌🏾

[@michaelallen3918]

There was a great hit by Kane Evans on Sam Kasiano which I didn't see here, great hit which was definitely worthy of being in this list....

[@kylelouer4323]

I do appreciate a good hit job.

[@aidanmchutchison567]

Great video, 9.5/10, but umm… Where is Justin Olam getting folded like origami??

[@oooooosh_2753]

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

[@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 .

[@viliame.]

You should do 5 interesting dacts about every state of origin

[@Jesser1121]

My take away is bring back the shoulder charge! Every forward uses their shoulder when taking a hit up so why not allow the defenders as long as there’s no contact with the head. This was peak NRL!

[@DavidPola1961]

Beats European Rugby these guys are real hard arses shame you have to go to Australia to watch it live the hits vibrate throughout the stands

[@tmeister8870]

That's gold 🥇

[@fat.s9601]

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

[@arnzwestarmstrong9173]

Where’s the Reuben wiki shot on petero??

[@midgetman1075]

2:56 watching this one, i thought that could be considered shoulder charge, because he didn't even try to put his arm around him it was all for the force. correct me if im wrong but i would consider that a shoulder charge (even if it is a light one)

[@JoshuaRoberts-kq9cs]

You sound like another bloody whinging do-gooder.Why don't you join a knitting class.
