NRL’s Fastest Man

[Thirteen]

Now that we are getting our first genuine speedster for a very long time it’s got me wondering who the fastest man in the competition is. Who do you think?

[mattyh]

jac, weeks, Saab or tabuai

[A Country Member]

0-40
or
0-100
?

[dice]

50m - JAC
100m - Saab

[Bates]

The Fox over 30/40 metres
Saab over 100 meters.

The eastern suburbs was full of Saab Turbos back in the day

How about the slowest?

[Thirteen]

0-40
or
0-100
?

Over 100.

[HunchoRooster]

Koula would be up there.

[Roosterfarian]

Hutch would surely be up there?

[Qld Chook]

Koula would be up there.

Good call, the Hammer & Sloan have some wheels too

[Inflictor]

Have we got anyone in the Top 20 ffs?

[Easts75]

Hutch would surely be up there?

Corey Allen the slowest outside back.
Hutch the slowest back of all

[Tommy Smith]

The Hammer makes the Fox look pedestrian. Footy wise he'd be the fastest. Second for me would be Khan Periera who is absolutely electric.

Over 100m Saab would be a good bet and also Young with those long legs.

Difficult to know... also are we talking in a straight line or in practice?

As an ex-sprinter my only caveat to all these discussions is that I dunno if straight line speed is THAT important in the NRL. I know the Fox is an exception but when I think about 'footy speed' I picture guys like the Cheese, Teddy, Grant, Munster, Ponga...etc. Teddy would be up there. Him or Grant maybe?

I know he's outta favour with lotsa fans but IMO Cheese would have our fastest, most evasive ball players. He's shown this 2 or 3 times this year and is unstoppable when he catches you sleeping. He'll lure you in with all his funny faces too. Has just had horrible luck with injuries.

That Titans winger has them covered over 100 i reckon. Saab looks a bit slower since acl. Young was only the 3rd player to reach 38kmh after Fox reqxhed it again this year and Saab who hasnt got near 38 this year.

As far as footy speed goes Rhys Walsh is Billy Slateresque. Ponga and Hammer are also very footy fast with the ball.
0 to 20 Walsh or Hammer
0 to 40.Hammer Walsh or Fox
0 to 100 Fox Saab, Khan or Young.

Cheese lol, pretty quick but those guys would smoke him over the 20 or 40 changjng directions but cheese is quick with ball in hand, fuucking slow based on his lateral movements in defense though....

Corey Allen the slowest outside back.
Hutch the slowest back of all

I have a mate who goes for the Tigers, he said Wakeham would give those 2 a run for their money in the slow stakes.....
