So i was just watching Matty 'mango' Bowens highlights and the speed is wow. In 1 highlight Billy Slater makes a linebreak and is burning everyone until Bowen runs him down like nothin. However next clip Bowen is cruising past everyone with effortless ease until Presto enters the fray and runs him down like nothing. This leads me to wonder?

    • Didn't Cleary medal at one of the games probably Commonwealth from memory
    • Slugg; Ken Irvine once raced against a racehorse down at Kembla Grang. Got beaten, but picked up the moola ! Manly in their early days had a winger called Jonny Bliss. He could motor. Was beach sprint campion. Was not a great  player but good enough for first grade.,

    • Mike Cleary definitely, bronze in the 100 at commonwealth games and he beat Irvine in a sprint back in the 60s

        • Mike Cleary even had a stint as a commentator for World Championship Wrestling

           

    • Yeh I think Cleary qualifies as the fastest as the only rugby league player to clock below 10 seconds competitively

  • Brett Dallas was one of the fastest too
  • Sandow before he crashed his car
    • Sandow was faster after he crashed it !!
  • Lee Odenryn was pretty quick. He just couldn't catch the ball.
  • Martin Offiah was pretty quick ask Lee O . :)
