The fittest man in RL : Mon Apr 20, 2009 9:25 am  

RL ,afl,soccer,cricket,union, Players took the 3 weeks challenge to find out who will be the fittest sportman in OZ .And yes the fittest man is no other then "Billy the kid Slater" he absolutely blasted every other sportsman off the paddock, union and afl players turning there heads in disbelief as Billy took the lead in the everyday contest.

So if the poms were to have one similar who would it be turning up for RL?

I remeber the saints camp saying that, relative to size, Anthony Sullivan was streets ahead of anyone physically.

As fans I think it's difficult to tell. I mean you watch Slater and it's obvious he's one of the best, but less obvious he's the fittest.

We had a program like that years ago and then it returned for a couple of series a few years ago. Superstars. Only trouble is we don't get current top sportsmen on it we had Offiah and Austin Healey, neither being anywhere near their prime. In the original series of Superstars Des Drummond competed but I was only young at the time so I've no idea how he went.

I suppose it could depend on what the events were. We had Sprinting, dips, archery, canoeing, climbing, swimming. What events did the Aussies do?
