BULLDOGS
Fittest: Raymond Faitala-Mariner
Fastest: Nick Meaney
Strongest: Raymond Faitala-Mariner, overall. Adam Elliott, pound for pound.
Quickest back in 2020: Jake Averillo 34.4km/h Round 6
Quickest forward in 2020: Josh Jackson 31.4km/h Round 8
Raymond Faitala-Mariner and Adam Elliott are the leaders of the pack in the gym. Both can produce a full squat of 240kg and a dead lift of 260kg. But it’s the unassuming lock, Elliott, who stunned his teammates with a powerful pre-season effort.
“Only 240? I thought it was 250kg,” Faitala Mariner said with a laugh.

“Renouf To’omaga comes close to what I am benching at the moment but it’s Adam Elliott who is strongest at the club pound for pound, he squatted 280kg in pre-season.”
Speedster Nick Meaney wasn’t always a sprint specialist. During his high school days he actually excelled at the 800m. But the fleet-footed outside back has clocked 11.3 seconds in the 100m – the fastest at the club and even quicker than flyer Reimis Smith.
Smith is nipping at Meaney’s heels in the speed stakes but his pace was blunted after snapping his tibia and fibula in 2016.
