Well Joven Clarke has run the 100m in 10.49 seconds and competed in school boy athletics at an international level. I think its fair to say, in a footrace in the NRL (supposing he is faster now his body has matured even more, probably hasnt been training for athletics tho) he would be the fastest player.

Justin Murphy :D i remember him outpacing Rhys Wesser to score a fantastic solo try, also running down David Peachy which resulted in a try saver, peachy had 15m headstart.

Did'nt Anthony Minichiello catch Justin Mrphy in last years grand final after Murphy got an intercept.

Didnt Amos Roberts catch a flying Minachello in the Anzac day clash down the left sideline as he made a break and only reached his own 40m line?
And yet Amos was not the fastest player in the Saints backline(gone to Penrith now)-Matt Cooper was the fastest so really speed cant be compared on a footy field, only on the track.

We all know who the fastest player will really be... Scotty Sattler. It sure as hell won't be Todd Byrne.

Matt Cooper used to be a sprinter and he's very quick. But Luke Bailey has to be the fastest prop. Does anyone remember the saints/penrith game back in round 18 or so, when bailey came from accross the other side of the field and caught up to the winger.

I think Micheal Vella would be the fastest Prop, he used to be a winger anyway and has the physique to be a fastish runner.

If all the stats are only out of 10, I'm assuming there will be a fair few players that will be the fastest... yes?

Joven Clarke is the fastest in the NRL

Jamie Lyon is deceptivly quick

Morley is quiet quick for a big lad

I dont think RL will ever see a player as fast over long distance as Martin Offiah,now he could run!

Lee Oudenryan beat Offiah in a 100m race in 1992 :D

Yes, but Amos Roberts came on the angle so he had an advantage.
I bet if you put them on a line and they raced side by side Minichello would blitz him.

i agree with you there regarding bailey, i remember the chase he put up on brent webb and was actually keeping up with him, although webb did score :D
