He's got a bit of pace but is a turnstile in defense.

A bit of pace? James Roberts is the fastest man in the NRL. He could probably leave Kevin Penny and Kieron Dixon in his wake after giving them 10m start over 100 metres.

The guy is a brilliant attacking player with footwork as well as tremendous speed. He would transform the attack of any SL club that purchased him to play in the centres.

Where has this idea that Keiran Dixon is really fast come from? He has quick feet and really good acceleration (tbf that often counts for more than raw pace) but he's by no means a flyer over 100 metres. There are plenty of guys who would beat him in a sprint.

Allegedly two of the fastest in SL, which is why I named them, not because of their defensive prowess, you dummy. :CRAZY:

Roberts is a good player and would be very good in Super League.

He does have the odd Kevin Penny-esk brain fart in him but he would definitely be worth a punt.

Mason caton-brown and Greg Johnson at Salford would leave all 3 of them for dead.

I'd be interested to see a fastest man in superleague comp. I know they do it at the 9s but it's usually just youngsters.

I reckon Omari Caro is the quickest in the league. Then there's a lot of other guys who I really couldn't seperate. Burgess, Lynn, Lineham, Lancaster, Caton-Brown, Johnson.

All of them would leave Dixon for dead anyway.

Tommy Makinson is very quick in the open. He once left Penny for dead in an 80m race.
