On a memorable day for the Warriors in Tamworth their inspirational skipper Roger Tuivasa-Sheck was scoring tries at one end and stopping them at the other with last-ditch goal line defence.

RTS's effort to deny rival skipper Mitchell Pearce a try summed up the Warriors' desperation and got him the fans' vote as Youi Tackle of the Week for round 16.

Coming in a close second in the voting was a trysaver from Panthers winger Brian To'o on Tiger Tommy Talau while Moses Mbye and a Cowboys double team against the Sharks were also strong contenders but it was RTS who got the nod.

What is the Youi Tackle of the Week?

With such a banquet of rugby league action on offer every single week, it’s only fitting that fans should get to have a say on who they think delivers when it comes to the big hits and tough defensive plays, across the 2020 season.

The Youi Tackle of the Week has the experts at NRL.com scouring the footage from each game of the round to offer up 4 nominations for you, the fans, to vote on.

What do you value more, a mid-field bone rattler or a last ditch effort try saver?

Is an epic hit to end a line break sprint better than a copybook tackle within inches of the line?

Get Caught Up: Round 16

Don’t keep those thoughts to yourself. Now is your chance to make your opinion known.

At the conclusion of the round the winning nomination will be named the Youi Tackle of the Week and the results of the week’s vote will be published on NRL.com on Tuesday afternoon.

At the end of the season, the NRL.com experts will cast their eyes over the winning tackle from each round and, through careful analysis, will declare one to be the Youi Tackle of the Year for season 2020.

The winner will be presented with the Youi Tackle of the Year award at the 2020 Dally Ms where they will receive the official trophy, but more importantly, the acknowledgment from the fans.
