Fastest man in rugby league

And you watched this team play did you? Considering I have a relative in that team and I was at the majority of the games, I can tell you with certainty Tepai is a very quick back rower. If he was slow as you suggest, why the f**k would he be a CENTRE in Union. Just to further disprove your argument, watch this video and claim he is slow.

He may be slow NOW because he has bulked up to be a first-grade back rower, but in general he is quick. End of story.

Yes I did watch the team play, and if you did you would clearly realise kellaway, milne, Hutchinson etc were all significantly faster. Ryan Morgan is without a doubt quicker, tepai was a centre as was sonny bill and burgess will be, centre in yawnion is all about strength and skill. The video you posted is him up against schoolboys, of course most back rowers in the Nrl will burn school kids...

I never argued Tepai was faster than Morgan. I simply forgot Morgan in the relay team as he is a bad player. I am merely arguing Tepai is very fast for an NRL back rower, which is indisputable. Unless of course you have a mental illness.

Outstanding.

Riiiiight... So the vision of him running around defenders indicates that he does not have pace. I don't see how what works, but okay.

Can you please tell us the time on that particular video which shows him running around defenders in a fashion that shows his pace?

James Roberts dazzling try for Titans against Manly last weekend shows that he is the fastest man in the NRL. That means faster than Marika Koroibete, faster than Shaun Johnson, faster than David Mead, faster than Kevin Gordon, faster than Jarryd Hayne, and faster than Mitchell Pearce.

Now if James can only learn to time his dives when attempting to tackle a speedy attacker from behind, he will have it all.

James Roberts is only very young. I predict that when Greg Inglis retires, James Roberts --- the fastest man in rugby league --- will be named the number one centre in the world.

I remember reading a few years back that Moi Moi was the quickest over 40 metres at Parra. Don't know if that's true or not.

Hayne wouldn't be anywhere near the quickest in the NRL, but considering he's 105kg...pretty bloody quick.

I don't believe for a second James Roberts is faster than Mitchell Pearce.

Criminal that Mitchel Pearce is not on the Sportsbet list...

All he needs is half a chance, and it's lights out - he's electric
