2020 Highs and Lows: Tackle of the Year
Every year, the readers of The Greenhouse vote on the highs and lows of the season just past. The Players of the Year are determined by the Fans' Choice voting, but all the other categories are determined by fan polls.
In this poll we are voting for the Canberra Raiders 2020 Try of the Year. We know who'll win this one, but there are actually some good nominations! You have one vote in this poll. If you would like to vote for a tackle that is not nominated... just specify your vote for the game in the thread!

The nominations are:
Round 3 V Storm George Williams - We knew that new English recruit, George Williams, could tackle after lifting and dumping Ryan Papenhuyzen on his back.
Round 6 V Sea Eagles Corey Horsburgh - A cruel big hit on Jack Gosiewski was one of the few highlights for the Green Machine in this "home" clash at Campbelltown. Listen to the thump!
Round 7 V Eels Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad - Maika Sivo was on the fly down the sideline, but CNK came across in cover and produced a brilliant try saver... with a little help from Jordan Rapana.
Round 11 V Rabbitohs Jordan Rapana - A great try saver from Jordan Rapana, as Rabbitohs half Adam Reynolds looked certain to score.
Round 15 V Titans Josh Papalii - Titans half Jamal Fogarty earned a quick 20 metre tap with his kick defusal in goal... and streaked away. Three players were chasing, Lui and Starling couldn't keep pace. But Josh Papalii never gave up, and felled Fogarty with a desperate lunge. It won the Dally M Tackle of the Year. It must be up there for Raiders' Tackle of the Century!
Round 18 V Dragons Josh Papalii - Big Papa was at it again at Wollongong, producing a huge hit on Cameron McInnes. Tom Starling made some initial contact, but this hit was all Papalii.
Finals Week 2 V Roosters Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad - Roosters centre Josh Morris was flying towards the try line, in the corner, but CNK pulled off a remarkable, desperate try saver.
Finals Week 3 V Storm Sia Soliola, Siliva Havili and Dunamis Lui - There weren't a lot of highlights for the Green Machine in the Preliminary Final, but from the kick off in the second half, this trio of Raiders forwards drove Dale Finucane back 10 metres... along with three or four other team mates, back into the in goal.

The CNK one on Morris was almost certainly the most important, but Papa's chase was top shelf effort.

Re: 2020 Highs and Lows: Tackle of the Year
There were some great hits, but if there's a tackle that stands out in the memory of years it's things like Papalli- Buhrer, Wighton-Soward, Wighton - Segeyaro, but this year it's Big Papa on the ankle tap chase. Even if you give him brownie points for making the chase he just had absolutely no right to make that ankle tap. We're 22-4 up, he's 10 mins into his 2nd stint already, it's a sprinty half on a break who'se already burnt off blokes like Bateman and Starling... but Papa is just 100% about giving 100%, and he still had 1% left, so he gave it.
It's the kind of thing we give Jordy Raps (rightly) huge wraps for, just those 1%ers. Great tackle, even if I usually love the big hits.

Re: 2020 Highs and Lows: Tackle of the Year
Papa's chase and ankle tap will always be a defensive highlight of the 2020 season. Jack makes so many clean hits its hard to remember them all but there was one in Round 19 against the Warriors on Murchie early in the match which has stayed with me. Maybe it's because Murchie was a former Raider, but Jack's hit was sweet as.

Re: 2020 Highs and Lows: Tackle of the Year
Yeah Papa's ankle tap will go down in NRL folklore. They'll write sonnets on his effort. Matter of fact, Im drafting one up now
I'll do it all,
Everything,
On my own.
I don't need,
Another break
Or any help
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and wonder what I did?
I don't quite know,
How on earth,
I made Jamahl.
Those ankles,
Just stared at me,
And time stood still.
If I reached out
If I just reached out
Could I do something that Bateman gave up on?
Forget what I'm told,
that Im too big and old
Show them that sprinter that's hiding inside me.
Let's waste time,
Chasing Halves
Around the grounds.
I need a rest,
To remind me,
That I can chase.
If I lay here,
If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and wonder what I did?
Forget what I'm told,
that I'm too big and old.
