I agree, you should have had to play at least 1 game in SL that season to compete!

Ah van? You must be joking right. I can think of props in superleague that are quicker.

First thing, Tomkins didn't arrive, he was brought through, maybe other teams should try this.
Secondly I dare you to say that to Lockers, Farrell, Hansen, Mossop, McIlorum and the rest of the team. |

Foster? You do realise they run the race with the ball?
Why not do all the divisions too?
A props race would be fun.

There were players from across the divisions competing on Tuesday evening - its just that the fact seems to have been ignored for some reason on this thread. Gareth Potts of Batley actually finished in third place.

FARTOWNFORLIFE wrote: I thought it was fastest man in super league. Not fastest man in the Valvoline cup. Apart from Broughton they were all under 20 players. We need a proper one. From the super league clubs I would like to see the following go toe to toe.
Charnley - Wigan
Riley/Monaghan - Wire
Foster - Saints
George - Huddersfield
Blanch - Catalan
Briscoe - Hull Fc
Jones-Bishop - Leeds
Fox - Wakey
Ah Van - Widnes
Owen - Cas
Hodgson -Hull Kr
Dixon -London
Broughton - Salford
Kear - Bradford
Feel free to edit any of the players. However I feel this would be a truer fastest man comp. Monaghan?? Im quicker than him over 100m if I let him start and had a brew first.. Atkins is quick but im sure Evans is quicker. If Briscoes the fastest man at hull then they've got problems, I rate Briscoe as a player but he lacks true pace

Fastest players at Hull apparently are Jack Briscoe and Tom Lineham.
