Danny Brough would be in with a shout. Rapid for a halfback.

Slowest in superleague peacock

Paul Wellens and Joel Monaghan both clocked 21 seconds over 100m......and thats with a strong wind behind them.

Down the slope at Big Fellas

Damien Cardace for Catalan that actually plays in SL without some speedy yougster whos never played a game yet involved.

En Anglais s'il vous plait.

I seem to remember Atkins giving cudjoe a well done pat on the back after failing to catch him in a full length sprint to the line in an important game last season. (fair enough it was at the end of the game) Comparing atkins to cardoza is a joke-cardoza had two brain cells all he had was pace he had no skill-atkins has that in abundance- Atkins has a lot of power and is able to shrug off would be tacklers -but there are a number of players faster-but pace only does so much if you don't have the nous to use it.
Macbanana is an idiot (well we knew that already) to fail to pick him for the England squad.

Briscoe was on one leg....idiot.

I'd probably say Kieran Dixon at the Broncos is the fastest at the minute. He's very very fast.

Sounds as if Ryan doesn't expect to get an international recall so long as McBanana is in charge. Are Ryans reasons for his supposed lack of commitment really that bad/trivial or is there more to this than meets the eye.

It's a good point you make about Atkins England career. Whether he is the fastest, strongest, etc etc is all debatable, but one thing we probably have some consensus it that he should be in the England squad.

Atkins should definately be in teh England squad. I know he had a shocker of a tour to Oz, but he's matured as a player now and doesn't have the same frailties now.

He did say after the 4N games last year that his personal reasons for not playing was that his "wrist was hanging on by a thread" and that was the reason he didn't play internationals after the regluar season. Why this isn't spoken about now is a mystery to me as if a player is too injured to play, you don't risk them against the Aussies!

Charnley is more than likely quicker over 30m but I reckon Atkins would do him over the full 100m. He almost chased him down in the Quarter Final last year.

Well on the thing re Atkins and England, do you remember that bridge pulled out of the world cup squad or the 4 nations down under as he was having a baby, and he said at the time, Steve had assured him, it wouldn't be held against him in future squads.
