I just couldnt see how he would be so close to Drummond's time over 100 meters with a pair of boots on.

Why, what does it say to you Dave. I'm sure if we'd had someone in the race and they'd pulled up lame, the majority of the board would have been jumping up and down asking what were we doing letting a player take part in a meaningless race at such an important stage in the season.
People should try and be less cynical (not just you, BTW and that's only my opinion). :roll:
I am sure that if Wigan had a player fast enough to be thereabouts he would have been racing.
Exactly.
As you say Sutty, pointless at this stage of the season though.
At pre-season or after the season IMO, would be a better time.
It would be better then but there is a 9's competition gong on somewhere (it counts towards Tickle two match ban) so clearly some people see it as OK to organise things at this time of rear which does seem odd.

That was my initial thought Pedro, thanks for confirming it.
As I understand, Workington Towns pitch, try line to try line is only 85 metres.
Must be some variation between stadia.

Might be because of yards.

90 metres = 98-99 yards so its close to 100 :)

I think some Wigan fans are the fastest in SL getting to their cars after (or during) a match
