Who do you think the hardest player in the league to effectively tackle is?

You've got bulls like Dusty and Stringer who are super powerful and can break most tackles if they are moving, Pendles who looks like he is Neo in the Matrix and can evade anything and Franklin who is quick, string and agile.
 
In his prime I'd say GAJ. He was both evasive, had a low centre of gravity and could break multiple tackles in succession at times.

Right now Pendlebury is well up there because he has good size in addition to having amazing awareness so players rarely get to actually put much physical contact on him before he disposes of the ball.

Martin is another good choice, breaks tackles with pure strength and got to give some props to his fend off which is the best in the game.

Dangerfield as a combination of strength and pace means - he's really hard to tackle due to his strength and once he's running it will be bloody hard to catch him to even try. The other thing with him is he has elite acceleration and not just top end speed.

If I had to just nominate one - i'd give it to Dangerfield by a whisker.

In the old days Lethal was super evasive, could turn on a dime and slip tackles, then often kick a goal. Currently Pendlebury looks a rolls royce, last night he was very impressive.
