Fastest man in rugby league

[Albert Rosenfeld]

The three fastest men were showcased in the Titans vs Eels match last weekend.

They are:

1. James Roberts
2. Kevin Gordon
3. Jarryd Hayne

Roberts outpaced Hayne to score his try
Gordon caught Hayne as Hayne beat everyone else to score.
That is why I have ranked them this way.

Other major speedsters:

Shaun Johnson
Brett Morris
Josh Morris
David Meade
Reece Robinson
Mitchell Pearce
Marika Koroibete

That makes up the top 10.


Does anyone disagree?

Pearce? He must be one of the players you manage to rate him so fast

 

[macnaz]

All I can say is Hayne has stated he has never beaten 11seconds over 100m .. Koriebete was running 10.7 as a teenager.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Remi Casty is the fastest Frenchman.

Does the 100 in about 28.2 seconds.

 

[Sir Biffo]

Pearce is faster than Gower at least, even though Craig has the handicap of having consumed 1000 schooners and trying to wave a golf club around.

David Mead I think is the fastest. Then Koriebete, Roberts, Hayne, Gordon, Barba, Morris boys, Alex Johnson, Dylan Walker ..

 

[hineyrulz]

Ben Smith.

Milford would have to be up there. I imagine alot of the under 20's guys would be faster but they'll lose some of their speed as they bulk up and grow.

 

[umina panther]

No one even gets close to James Roberts

 

[Liddell]

You'd think Roberts, but that guy from my side would be up there.

 

[Big Sam]

Add Walker and Johnston after last night.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Who is the fastest player you have managed?

 

[byrner]

I think this calls for a league Olympics

 

[BranVan3000]

It's James Roberts then daylight

 

[BranVan3000]

Add Walker and Johnston after last night.

Walker may be one of the quickest over 40, over 100 it's a different story.

Pearce would have to be the quickest to get from Kings Cross to The Star.

 

[Noname36]

That player from the team I support.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Pearce is the second fastest half back in the NRL. Shaun Johnson is the fastest. Shaun Johnson is probably top 5 fastest of all NRL players.

Remember that Hayne was carrying a football. Mead wasn't
