The impressive thing about Radders was never the number of tackles he made, it's his tackle completion rate. I remember reading one year he completed 97% of the tackles he went in for compated to 85% of his nearest rival. Saved the other defenders a huge amount of work. It has also been fedback to him that he hurts people when he tackles them. Stats dont quantify the amount it takes out of the opposition.
