Val ain’t as fast as people think
He gets run down where ado Carr would never.

Why did we let him go again?

They flashed up the max speed during the game. JAC had 36 (or 37) km/h and Val was next quickest at 1 km/h less. Both are very nippy.

Just found the speeds. JAC 36.3 (which is about as fast as any athlete other than a specialist sprinter ever runs - the guy is a freak) Val next fastest on park at 35.2 and Teddy just behind Val.

Read that JAC tops out at 37 and they can’t find anyone in any code who is quicker.

Holmes has good acceleration which is essential for making breaks in league. Addo-Carr is very quick off the mark and quicker at top speed. Holmes top speed is not as fast as Addo-Carr

No, Val is about 1 km/h off at top speed....but everyone that is super quick is about 1 km off JAC, including Roberts which surprised me.

But it doesn't go into who gets to top speed fastest / who changes direction fastest / etc.

That’s what sets Holmes apart from the others, his sideways movement at speed is second to none.

That long range try (I think last year) when he turned the chaser inside out to avoid him was special.

Stake, got video of that moment please.

Either way no merkin caught him and they had the length of the field to do it.

Even had enough speed to plant it under the posts.
