He'll be some distance off the fastest man in London when the Olympics come round. |

Sadly Caro doesn't seem as fast with a ball in hand. Usually seems to get run down - even in the Under 20s when I've occassionallly watched that. But how hard was Offiah trying to build him up in a blatant attempt to increase his agent's fee?

Indeed. Not very discrete about it was he?! |

I agree. To be last in a sprint race of young athletes when you are older and you don't even play is pretty good.
I reckon he would come quite a long way up the list if you had all players running.
He has increased my respect for him as a person. As a ref I think he's ok too....ish. |

Yep, he's in his 40's is Thierry so he didn't do badly at all against a load of very quick youngsters.
I think he's quite a poor ref but he doesn't seem to have the ego of some of the other refs and like you, he's gone up in my estimation for having the balls to take part. |

I thought it was fastest man in super league. Not fastest man in the Valvoline cup. Apart from Broughton they were all under 20 players. We need a proper one. From the super league clubs I would like to see the following go toe to toe.
Charnley - Wigan
Riley/Monaghan - Wire
Foster - Saints
George - Huddersfield
Blanch - Catalan
Briscoe - Hull Fc
Jones-Bishop - Leeds
Fox - Wakey
Ah Van - Widnes
Owen - Cas
Hodgson -Hull Kr
Dixon -London
Broughton - Salford
Kear - Bradford
Feel free to edit any of the players. However I feel this would be a truer fastest man comp.

I agree, you should have had to play at least 1 game in SL that season to compete!

[quote="FlexWheeler":8f22o6ue]The extent of his coaching is ''BASH EM, JUST F*CKING BASH EM. HE'S LOW ON CONFIDENCE, BASH HIM''
He's a limited coach that won't last long term.[/quote:8f22o6ue]
....
[quote="rubber duckie":8f22o6ue]That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.[/quote:8f22o6ue]: |

Ah van? You must be joking right. I can think of props in superleague that are quicker.

Foster? You do realise they run the race with the ball?
Why not do all the divisions too?
A props race would be fun.

There were players from across the divisions competing on Tuesday evening - its just that the fact seems to have been ignored for some reason on this thread. Gareth Potts of Batley actually finished in third place.

Monaghan?? Im quicker than him over 100m if I let him start and had a brew first.. Atkins is quick but im sure Evans is quicker. If Briscoes the fastest man at hull then they've got problems, I rate Briscoe as a player but he lacks true pace |
