Another thing to note is Brotherton has only just signed for Saints from amateur RL so wont have the professional sprint training and conditioning the other runners will have had.
Hence it may be that with the right coaching he could be somewhat faster .
On the other hand at 6ft 4inches we may end up bulking him up to the extent he is 3 yards slower

Professional sprint training?!?! Nah not us, he will finish last by the time we have built him up.  |

It may be a bit pedantic but I cant see how you can possibly call it "fastest man in Superleague" if none of the players competing actually play in Superleague? It would have been like Cas entering Dwayne Chambers.
Surely it should be called "fastest man who currently plays RL for one of the Superleague clubs at u18's or u21s level".
If we were in America, I could sue someone.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Leeds have bulked Chisholm up, but retained his speed (still not a good RL player). The strange thing last night was watching Kev Penny twice get caught when he was clear.
As I said on the other thread Brotherton looks fast rather than quick, in that he doesn't appear to have good acceleration from a standing start, but can certainly motor when he gets into his stride, probably a bit more Pat Richards than Martin Offiah. |

for me, the explosive pace is much more useful in a rugby context, you never have to do more than 90mtrs at the very most! |

It is, but it is also about how players can sustain that pace
If they had a 30 metre race Rob Burrow would win easily as he's straight into top gear |

My mate went to the nines and he said he is probably the fastest winger he has seen at Saints since Darren Albert,good news hopefully stay away from injuries.

I don't think it is called 'Fastest man in Superleague' but fastest in rugby league. Because players from championship clubs can compete too. I think Worrincy from Halifax competed amongst others this year. |

watching wire u20s think it was against castleford or leeds and rhys williams just went for about 20-30metres left them standing. in rl it's explosive speed you need.
