Fastest Men in League

Well i suppose we have to throw John grant @ the tigpies aswell and he has it over hayne.

I remember seeing Denan Kemp (back at the broncs) run down Uate (was only 10m or so, but both a standing start) a couple of years ago, i havent found the video for it but still trying.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Lawrence burning slater down the sideline at leichhardt in 09 was a brilliant exhibition of true pace 50m+

Not sure if he could do that now though...

What did Hayne run in the Bolt challenge? Uate has run sub 11 seconds times over 100m. Though that was when he was a teenager and he has lost a few yards of pace after putting on 12kg since then though.

Ok well i found out Uate has run a sprint track 10.82 as recently as 2008. He hasn't grown much, if at all, since then so it's fair to say that's the NRL benchmark.

It was a very low 11 I believe.

I'd love to see another of those races run but with the full set of speedsters this time instead of ring ins like Big Game (who trundled over somewhere in the 16s)

 

[Cheops]

Uate has never been run down in open space with the ball in hand and he doesn't even need to get out of 3rd gear most the time to burn the chasers.

Vatuvei ran him down in a game last year I think. Can't remember if he had any headstart or angle though

What about that grant the tigers signed? He is lightning quick but i think he has played first grade yet

James Grant who we signed from Eastwood Rugby beat Hayne in the Gatorade Bolt, he run second to another rugby player, Lachie Turner.

He is very quick but is still learning rugby league in the NSW Cup. A lot of people have doubts about him making it but he is tall has a solid build and has fantastic pace. Maybe by about mid way through the year or just after I think he will be in the NRL side. Needs to work hard on his positioning in defence.

John.

Excellent pace, huge man but gets lazy and comes in and out of games a lot.. tis why he never cracked the waratahs. Could be great thought, and definitely one of the fastest.

Sorry I meant John. Is he is releated to Balmain's ex player James Grant?

 

[thorson1987]

Danny Wicks. Has plenty of speed.

Yeah his nephew i think?

 

[Snappy]

Clearly its Ben Hannant. Almost chased down McManus who had a good start.

That was a hell of a chase for the polar bear! Yow Yeh was also chasing and didnt gain an inch so he gave up.. I thought he was a lot faster (although ive heard he was injured?)

If he wasnt injured it was a very pathetic effort, and if he was carrying an injury he shouldnt have played.
