Are we the slowest team in the comp?

[Indiandog]

Apart from Jmoz, who has got the legs to run 90 meters if a line break is made?

So far i can remember lafai, brown, eastwood and few others who got out in open space in few games, yet no one could go all the way to score.

It is pointless to talk about support players when our forwards break the opposition defensive line..... there has been noone in support since barba left. I wonder why our forwards even look over the shoulder for the offload when the support players is never there.

We got to be slowest team in the comp.

Yep definitely the slowest. Even jmoz has lost some of his pace, certainly not slow but not as quick as he once was. I guess knee injuries will do that.

 

[dogs_of_war89]

Hopefully next year lichaa can provide speed from dummy half, and with the addition of loko and rona and potentially beale our backs wont be such easy beats in a foot race

 

[dogs_of_war89]

As long as thompson is in the team he should be given a roaming role when our forwards are going forward. Small and extremely quick as we seen last night and could be just as electric as barba as support player

 

[Slick]

Reynolds is quick too, remember the Dragons game?

 

[finchie]

Yep
across the board
out of dummy half
play the ballss
u name it we are the slowest

I dont think reynolds is fast , he has been caught short many times when he had a significant head start.... look at tigers, panthers, titans, dragons, manly, broncos, roosters they have 4-5 players who once out in open space are hard to stop.

not only are we slow, but do we look like a deer in headlights when it comes to defending out wide?

I'd put that down to Morris being missing.

 

[Indiandog]

I reckon graham would be the fastest after morris. Remember his chase and tackle on the wing few games ago (cant remeber which game it was but it was freakish effort from graham)

Against Manly.

 

[Wolfmother]

Noone stands out but we are ( sadly were) known for our defensive game so maybe that was meant to compensate for our lack of speed.

 

[Moedogg]

Our slow 1998 backline would probably run rings around these guys...lol.

silva ( only exception)
lester
talau
martenee
Halligan

 

[Bakes]

J Moz is actually pretty slow these days also

 

[Moedogg]

J Moz is actually pretty slow these days also

He caught shaun Johnson earlier this year, just hasn't been given the opportunity to show his speed.

 

[Slick]

Remember in SOO1 when GI had a headstart and an injured JMoz managed to chase him down?

 

[Dingo]

Yes we lack speed and height in the back three atm but the halves and centre's are good enough

 

[Bakes]

Yeah true, I'm thinking of origin 3 where he played injured and looked slow as

 

[immortalbulldog]

Thompson is pretty quick and I think I read that Mbye is quicker than Morris over 40m
