Nev Morrison is RAPID, gave Cardace a 3 yard start in Perpignan and still caught him.

Berwyn Jones of Wakefield Trinity in the mid 60s was pretty nifty. Not surprising as he had represented GB in the 1962 European Athletics Championships and was regarded as a certainty for the 1964 Olympics had he not turned pro.

Wilf Rosenberg, a South African winger was also pretty nifty for Leeds around 1960 - 63 but lost all his confidence when his face was rearranged in a tackel. He scored 48 tries in 1960/61.

I imagine that Olympic bronze medallist McDonald Bailey was also pretty speedy but he only played 1 game (for Leigh)

Menzie!!!

I offered him out and you should have seen him run.
Good job he didn't catch me!!!

On a serious note in terms of Eagles players.
Has to be Rob Worrincey?

I suppose the older generation will claim that black and white TV made the players from the 60s and 70s look slower.

TBH on the whole players of the 60s were slower - training regimes in those days were far less sophisticated than today and consisted mainly of how many pints could you sink afterwards. Roly poly forwards were quite a common sight and most of them would be at walking pace in the 2nd half!

Billy Boston was another try scoring legend - he wasn't terribly speedy but he was built like the proverbial brick outhouse and just ran through players who tried to stop him - rather like Menzie when he is on form.

Have to agree about Rob Worrincey for the Eagles.

Yeah Worrincy is probably the quickest we've had.

Mark Calderwood in his prime was a quick one.

you wait until you've seen the left winger from Carcassonne - Greg Mazard, boy he is quick !

give him half a yard of space and he's away - if his defensive qualities were up to scratch he would be in the Catalans squad IMO

(ps - don't tell Tubbs - Greg is supoposed to be the secret weapon !)

I suppose if depends what they mean by fastest?

Over what distance?
Does that include carrying a ball which may prevent arms being used as a sprinter would?
Boots instead of running spikes?

Very true, I'm the fastest man in the world over one yard.

FACT.
