Who are the fastest players we have?

[Como Connection]

Anyone know how quick is that Silverman dude?

Creagh, Luke Lewis

I seem to remember a player called Mattison who was big enough to play in the back row but when played on the wing he was devastating. Very quick and so hard to stop.

The have been some big wingers in the past who moved to the forwards later in their career. Any names?

Tony Williams
Graeme Bradley (aka the penguin) moved from the centres to second row

 

[Old Timer]

Tony Williams

Bob Clapham

Correct me I I’m wrong but wasn’t there foot races between clubs before one of the finals. That. Would have been more than 20 years ago

Yeah they used to have these races in grand final day going back to when they played the GF at the SCG.

I’ve seen the odd relay race at semis in years gone by (end to end with a footy to pass to the next guys etc) but always lower grade / Under 20’s players mostly unknowns.

I’d love to see a match race again at the GF. But think end of season trips would make this hard to get together. Maybe a prize pool, winner take all $50k of something like that could gain player interest. Apart from those who like to hit the off season headlines ...

Bradley, McGregor, Lafai, I'm seeing a pattern here. LOL

I seem to remember Barry Beath winning the fastest forward race many years ago

Was Mcidiot fast in his day.

In addition where does Silverman play?????? Is he a chance of playing in first grade.

Bob Clapham

Ken Maddison, who I think was his centre partner went on to play 2nd row.

 

[BLM01]

Is the thread re the Dragons side this year or the whole comp?
Ben Hunt is deceptively quick over the 1st 20 I am told. Dufty without a doubt over 100. Field close behind.
New recuits of Ravalawa & Pearson NFI but hopefully speedsters.
For our forwards McInnes / Robson no doubt. Frizzell over 100 up there.
And Vaughan when fit can move quick early for a big man.

 

[Tripper]

Ask anyone in Dragons camp Field wins everything.

 

[MILEY CYRUS]

Tommy Hewitt

One of my favorites was Mitch Brennan , he certainty knew how to find the line , from long range ....

 

[Crush]

Edit.

 

[Old Timer]

Then of course you had the reverse in that man with the heart of a lion John Ribot De Bresac who went from the forwards to the wing.

 

[mickeylane]

Jonus Pearson who happens to be one of the fastest backs in the NRL after Josh Ado Carr.....Dufty would be a close 2nd over 40m...but Pearson is a speed machine......my tip for Dragons top try scorer this year w 15+ tries....

 

[nrlnrl]

McGregor - fastest with an excuse.

Muzby fastest with funny replies.

I heard some talk he might be even quicker than Field over 100m, can maintain his pace over the distance. I think the club is just trying to keep a lid on things & keep him away from the media so there's not too much hype or pressure.

Good, keep him under raps for the next two/three years.
