| RL ,afl,soccer,cricket,union, Players took the 3 weeks challenge to find out who will be the fittest sportman in OZ .And yes the fittest man is no other then "Billy the kid Slater" he absolutely blasted every other sportsman off the paddock, union and afl players turning there heads in disbelief as Billy took the lead in the everyday contest.
So if the poms were to have one similar who would it be turning up for RL?

| As fans I think it's difficult to tell. I mean you watch Slater and it's obvious he's one of the best, but less obvious he's the fittest.

We had a program like that years ago and then it returned for a couple of series a few years ago. Superstars. Only trouble is we don't get current top sportsmen on it we had Offiah and Austin Healey, neither being anywhere near their prime. In the original series of Superstars Des Drummond competed but I was only young at the time so I've no idea how he went.
I suppose it could depend on what the events were. We had Sprinting, dips, archery, canoeing, climbing, swimming. What events did the Aussies do?

| In the old Superstars Dessy did well, and may have got the record for 100m, (for the programme not world!). However Keith Fielding the Salford winger won it in the 70s, and was one of the stars of the show. It often seemed to be between him and Judos Brian Jacks. IIRC, in a NZ version, forward Kurt Sorenson beat All Black wing legend Stu Wilson over 100m. Hard to tell who would do well today, but the advantage is to the smaller player, wings or half backs Blanch could be a good call. Didnt Long only lose out to Ricky Hatton in Soccer ams press up comp.

| Wayne Godwin is a bit of a fitness machine apparently (when not injured of course).

We know, but with plenty of practise we can catch up to you in these disciplines.

To be fair, we are a long, long way off. Their country was built on those principles.
