2026 NRL Halfback Ineffective Tackles leaders

A tackle that makes contact but does not stop the ball carrier, who then offloads or gets the ball away. Ineffective tackles sit between completed and missed: they show effort without control, and the offload they allow can be as costly as a miss. This page ranks Halfback players for the 2026 season. Current leaders include Jamal Fogarty, Sandon Smith, Nathan Cleary.
