Who will be the fastest player in the game?

[Parra_Boy]

Micheal Witt would be a fast halfback wouldn't he?

I'd go with Darren Albert in the game. Or maybe Chris Walker

 

[tHe_MaC]

Justin Murphy.

 

[anjado]

in the big league
earlier this year
they posted everyones 40 m times
and wesser was the fastest one recorded
but they didnt time joven clarke at souths

 

[trigger]

Mark calderwood when chaseing a ball from kick

and acceleration gotta be Rob burrow hes lighting

 

[OoOGazOoO]

Plenty of lads are missing our english teams out so i will put us back in the frame considering it is a "fastest man in the GAME" topic not a fastest man in nrl.

Few ESL players which are fast -

Steve Prescott - Hull
Brett Dallas - Wigan
Darren Albert - St Helens
Barry Ward - St Helens
Phil Cantillon - Widnes
Little Robbie Burrows - Leeds
Mark Calderwood - Leeds

 

[CouldaBeenAnything]

Brett Dallas was bloody swift in the mid 90's...has he lost much pace? Haven't seen much ESL so hard to make comment

 

[Wigan Warrior]

Dallas is still quick but has been troubled with a lot of injurys over the last few years. When hes fit hes a top player!

Rhys Wesser
Brett Howland
Luke Burt
Justin Murphy
Matt Sing
Scott Donald
Anthony Minichiello
Eric Grothe
Matt Geyer
Billy Slater
Lance Hohaia

phillips u missed ryan o'hara and phil graham
u all keep saying wesser is so fast well earlyer this year graham ran around him. and ryan o'hara use to be a winger so u should put him in there

 

[undyflag]

As an avid Dragons supporter ill throw in my two bobs Matt Cooper has got around his fair share of backs this year along with his centre partner Mark Gasnier who has great long strides like your Phil Grahams and co. who take a few steps and cover virtually the whole field.Much like Brett Mullins was; poetry in motion that was a different type of speed, whereas your Rhys Wessers rely purely on their acceleration and off the mark speed.

 

[Collateral]

Luke Bailey would have to be the fastest prop in the game without a doubt.

Nathan Blacklock, Matt Cooper and Mark Gasnier are also very quick aswell.

 

[Tupac Shakur]

I'd think Joven Clarke is but he hasn't played first grade for ages so i would say Rhys Wesser.

 

[southern warrior]

richard villasanti might challenge that.

 

[Anonymous]

When Ali Lauiti'iti was at prop he would've been the fastest prop in the game.

I read an interview a while back where Palea'aesina was asked whether he was the fastest forward at the Warriors, and he said it was Ali. I'd say Villasanti would be only 4th at the Warriors alone, also behind Faumuina.

then how did phil graham run around him

 

[undyflag]

It comes down to what type of speed you are talking about.Phil Graham has long strides and can get around defenders whereas Rhys Wesser has good acceleration and can hit the wholes and split a tiresom defensive line in two.

no
speed and acceleration are completly different, acceleration has nothing to do with speed
I had to study this for my PDHPE test a few weeks back

speed is the amount of distance covered in a period of time
acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over a certin time
if this is right then i have 4 marks in the bag! :lol:

Graham has speed
McLinden has acceleration - is the fastest half in the comp, almost put my house on that

 

[umosay]

does andrew johns have speed or acceleration? lol

 

[Deveate]

Assuming Michael Robertson is in the raiders line-up in the game he should go close to being one of the fastest players there. He's not too far behind Phil Graham in the speed stakes.
