Tackle of the Week: Round 16 - Man of steal defends his line
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 do you value more, a mid-field bone rattler or a last ditch effort try saver?
