Do we have a sprinter?

[Matthew]

Let's hope he avoids the wooden spoon...

[highland convert]

Did a bit of surfing,
12/1 might be a good bet
Quickest- Leon Bott or Scott Donald

Slowest- Tronc (i aggree) or piggy riddell

Strongest- Roy Asotasi or Hutch Maiava

The strongest is Kylie LeuLeui from Manyl... he can benchpress 200kg
The closest to him is carl webb with 165 kgs
Riddell can play more then 20 mins, its just Parramatta have 2 other hookers in PJ Marsh and John Morris...

I believe its too hard to pick the fastest player in the nrl. In a football game there are rarely 100m trys scored. Most would be over 40m - 50m max. And over that distance who know who is the fastest. But the MOST CONSISTANTLY FAST PLAYERS over long distances on the footy field would be
- Rhys Wesser
- Brett Stewart
- Amos Roberts

And im sure that one of these 3 is the fastest player in the nrl (that is until Darren Albert joins the sharks then who knows).

Left the top one in as well cos another player gets a mention

A sprint challenge to find the fastest man in rugby league is to take place at the Carnegie Floodlit Nines at Headingley on August 26.

The competitors will race against each other in full playing kit over a 90-metre course.

Warrington winger Kevin Penny, who is currently on loan to Widnes, has been made the 2-1 favourite by the bookies, following by Scott Donald (Leeds), Dave Halley (Bradford) and Peter Fox (Hull KR).

Who's our quickest over 90 metres? I'd back Ainsy over a shorter distance, but not for that far.

personnaly i do not think we have anyone capable of sprinting over the full length of the pitch

Who would be the nearest to be sprinting the length of the field. Ainscough perhaps?

No Turf

Ainscough is a short distant sprinter explosive over 40-50m may be at best

What about when he gets older? Or is that where he will stop at? 40 - 50m? I thought he was quicker that that.

I apologise if I am wrong.

[cherrywarrior]

Didnt I read somewhere that Amos was representing us?

[cpwigan]

He is Cherry

Turf, Ainscough is very muscle bound. His body has been developed in such a way that he is very strong for his size and very fast over the first 10 metres. As the distance increases he fatigues very quickly and his pace after 40 metres drops dramatically. He has very little endurance. He could not for instance run 5000 metres and feel fresh as a daisy afterwards. He would be physically exhausted.

[GeoffN]

Difficult to tell just how quick Roberts is, because he never makes a break; we've never seen him in a footrace, all his (4) tries have been short range ones. Having seen him fail to finish off half breaks, though, I'm not confident. I don't think he's even attempted to take on an opposing winger for pace.
