@1910 - Don't suppose you've seen any of these guys running beep tests?

For those who want a time stamp essentially:



@Huge come on man, I know you love the guy but surely you can admit this is a massive stretch. Kennedy is definitely quick for a big man but neither he or Staggs were putting in much effort here. And for the few steps they both did try, Toes was smoking Kennedy. The trying steps were about 4 or 5 though max.


on the plus side Mam is Grease Lightning

What a load of BS !!
I watched it several times . Neither is at full sprint .
Really? Doesn't that seem odd to you?

Brimson breaks through, the defence's job is to stop him right?....
And neither are chasing!!!!

Not bothered apparently because, you know, it's not like the coach would expect
us to run hard in pursuit, nah man. Me and Staggsy will just jog along and hope he falls over or something...

I kind of think at least one of them is trying his guts out.

Mairner would have my money if it was over 40m.
Just your opinion and purely about the maximum velocity the players can achieve would it be fair to say that if Kennedy was at full pelt he wouldn't be a huge way behind?

It’s just that I've seen him briefly in the open , last year I think and he had genuine pace, I thought at the time.

I imagine you see something like this?

I wonder who the fastest ever bronco is? Probably James Roberts I guess
Leon Bott was ment to be pretty quick and Denan Kemp would also be in the convo, he's said he's run a 10.7

They know the cover defence is coming .
No urgency to catch the ball runner . More interested in blocking his supports .

Neither of them are hitting top speed .
You picked a poor example to prove your point .

S Renouf ?
Apparently he never stretched out at training like he could in games .

1st time I saw Alfie chip over for the winger they said Willie Carne was off side . Replay showed it was legit . Willie was on side and timed it perfectly .
That was the start of another era with halves chipping for wingers .

Leon Bott was pretty slippery too .
