Brett Stewart for sure. He didn't compete in the official "speed tests" last year due to injury. I'd be confident putting my $$ on him!

Amos Roberts would be in the top five I think. He's a former Dragon so I've been observing him closely for years and I do believe he is one of the fastest in the game. He has so many gears, but he only ever runs as fast as he has to. At a pinch he could run down anyone.

Maybe the NRL could put up a cash prize for the fastest player in the NRL and get one or two from each club to race for the title.

I'd watch it.
I sure would to Legend if some of these players run the 100 under 11 seconds :shock: add a couple of our top olympians in it and move over the Stall Gift!

At Melbourne, Slater is the quickest over 40, but over 100, Matt Geyer beats him. This surprised me a great deal when I found out

The fastest players at Melbourne are Steve Turner and Michael Crockett.

Although off the mark Slater is supreme.

I think the Raiders would win a 4x100 relay..allthough Im biased

Graham - fastest over 100 at the Raiders..that long striding style.
McLinden - fastest over 40 metres in the NRL
Robertson - pretty darn fast too. lol
Mogg - deceptively fast. He beat Graham over 40.

A 4x100m relay is a good idea DIG. Hmm, I think the Saints might struggle.

Cooper
Gasnier
Blacklock
Frew or Naiqama (reserve grade speedsters)

over 100m, Tate is the fastest regular top grader at the Broncos (and I think he would shock a lot of outsiders in exactly how quick he is)

but Tom Learoyd I am led to believe is the fastest in the club over 100m ..... and he's a prop :eek:

over 100m I would be guessing our relay team would look something like

Hunt
Tate
Learoyd
Kelly

Oink !

Eels would be in with a chance -

Grothe
Burt
Mckinnon?
Gruzka, Anderson (a few in the lower grades)

Although the Tigers do seem quite fast as well.

Rieck was named the fastest man at the start of the year but since then he has had hammy problems :?
