He's a decent F/B but nothing special as shown in the NZ test series.

I'd say he mastered the skill perfectly in terms of making the decision of whether to tackle or not.
Pure coincidence that it happened to be the negative every time

Denny Solomona, now thats a good looking winger (according to my grandaughter)
Seriously I'd like to see TJ and Denny in a footrace, I think it would be close.
Going back many years I'm sure I can remember an occasion when each team put forward their fastest player for a one off race. I think it was either before or at half time during a final or a test match. Any oldies on here remember?

I'm not that old  but I also recall these 'races'. In the deep dark past at BV, they held sprint challenges on match days and I think invited non rl sprinters. I seem to recall 'powderhall' sprinters (whatever/whoever they were/are) also being included and they ran diagonally corner to corner. Not sure but Ernie Holmes seems to ring a bell as a contender, perhaps Keith Slater?

Didn't they used to do Super League's fastest man at the 9's competitions a few years ago?

| Aye the did bring it back for the 9's. Remember Broughton and Caro winning it a couple of the years and that young Leeds lad Jamel Chisholm won it twice who now plays for Oldham.

| I think Berwyn Jones used to enter the Powderhall Sprint competition before he signed for us.

He did indeed and according to old work mates was incredibly quick. Then again, keep it quiet or Betts will want him retrospectively drugs tested!

Powderhall rings a bell. I think it allowed professionals to compete when athletics was still amateur. Think Berwyn held the British record for 100 yards or metres at one time.

| You may have to explain what a gym shoe is to some of the younger posters on here as the Saville inquiry is still ongoing.
By the way what is a gym shoe?

I don't think the word or the footware "trainers" had been invented then. Maybe pumps or plimsolls??
