I was actually commenting on his pace, not how he beat Cam anyways....
No sh*t. Gallant is quick, but not in the top echelon.

USAIN Bolt definitely intends to visit Australia this year. Whether he competes in a proposed 100m race in Sydney is still under negotiation but is looking promising.
Whether the world's fastest man competes against NRL players as well as fliers from other football codes is under discussion between meet director Hayden Knowles and Bolt's people in Jamaica.
But one thing looks certain - with Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre already booked there will be a major track and field competition at Homebush on the night of September 15.
Sources last night confirmed to The Daily Telegraph that Bolt, the greatest sprinter in history, wants to come to Australia for a holiday in September after he wraps up his season, most likely on August 27 at the final Diamond League meet in Brussels or at the latest at the Continental Cup in Split, Croatia, on September 4-5.
Bolt broke the world record for both 100m and 200m in winning the sprint double at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and broke both his own records in winning the double at the 2009 world athletics championships in Berlin.
He has never been to Australia, missing the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games due to injury and will also bypass this year's Games in Delhi in October.
But a run in Sydney on September 15 would suit Bolt and, according to a Telegraph source money would not be a deciding factor, even though a figure of $1 million has been bandied about as Bolt's fee.
I posted it, was during round 1 NYC last year knights VS titans, Gordon put a nice little in and away on Naiqama and got around him, Naiqama manged to turn and chase him down and put him into touch, though Naiqama is pretty deadly off the mark so not sure how'd he go over 100I've heard in a couple of places that Kev Naiqama (from the Knights) ran down Kevin Gordon in an NYC game early last year...and I'm pretty sure he is a tad slower than Uate in the Knights sprinting tests.
It was posted somewhere in our forum so I'll try and dig it up.
how do you draw that conclusionI got GI running about 11.6 for his try the other night, from a standing start on the try-line. Tells me he'll probably break 10.5 on a track, in spikes, pretty easily.
