You had a youth player a few years ago called james howarth he was from wigan who ran 100m in 11 secs flat at the age of 16 now that was quick.

Super leagues fastest man is never taken seriously as most teams send youth players.

I am guessing ryan king is the fastest at wigan if not then its either sam or charnley

atkins isnt the fastest at warrington apparently rhys williams holds that crown??? never seen it in game time like but hey ho

From a standing start Rob Burrow is the fastest
Jamal Chisholm is lightening fast for the whole length

What about Joel being the slowest.....

Bring back Hicks.

Seriously thid right edge strength left edge speed thing is interesting.
I'd not thought of it in those terms.

Hicks could go on either wing - still get goosebumps over his hat-trick at Wembley. Incredible.

Burrow's acceleration is certainly phenomenal, but he tends to get caught in most long chases.

That's always the problem with 100m times - a better marker would probably be 60m times. Burrow has to be one of the quickest over 10-20m because he's very quick off the mark due to his size. From what I've seen I doubt Briscoe would be in the top ten over a long distance - he hits his top sepeed quickly but once going the likes of Atkins would catch him fairly easily I would have thought?

Sorry Yed and ditch.

I'll flagellate myself now.

I also remember reading that Rhys Williams was the fastest player at Warrington. I also remember reading that Solomona was the fastest off the mark!

Having seen Atkins pull away from other players when in the clear this season, I'd guess he's amongst the fastest in SL.

I also agree that Joel Monaghan isn't about speed. One of the most depressing things I saw from Wire last year was in the CC Quaters against Wigan, Charnley gets a yard on Monaghan and pulls away, and Monaghan just gives up instead of trying to chase him down! We all know a player can do something to slow down, slight injury, knocking the ball like Pat Richards did when in the clear last year when no-one was anywhere near him, so you never just give up the chase!

I'm sure Monaghan got a bollocking for doing that as later in the season he did chase back.

Last 2 runners in that 100m race for Hull were Jack Briscoe and Tom Lineham

I expect Lineham to break into the first team next year, good build on him and very quick

No way is Atkins the out and out fastest in Super League.

However in terms of size x speed Atkins is a guy you would not want running at you as he has raw power as well as speed and good acceleration. I think he can go on to have the same type of effect as Keith Senior has done over the years, Atkins is quicker than Senior and has similar size.

I remember a young Dale Cardoza playing for Hudds against us and tearing us up the middle and thinking he had huge potential, with a guy that strong who had the extra yard of pace on most centres, he could have been a massive player in SL, but he faded off the scene quickly. Atkins has come around with the same sort of physique as Cardoza (seems taller too?) but seems to have the right attitude.

Considering his young age and what he has done already, if he plays another 6-8 years with us he will probably end up as one of Warrington's all time greats.

Solomona at the 'all you can eat buffet'

Devasting pace off the mark......

I just remembered Luke Robinson sprinting away in the 4 nations a couple of years ago.

It was a Hanna Barbera cartoon complete with legs moving faster than the actual forward motion.
