Out of interest can anyone work out the time over the distance from TJ collecting the pass? And compare his tome / speed to sprinters.

Don't know but it wasn't much faster than Mead.

But mead wasn't carrying a ball :roll:
always amazes me when people think that the chaser is faster or nearly as fast as the ball carrier, it cost you quite a bit off top speed carrying something or immobilising one arm. In a straight sprint over 100m I reckon TJ would beat mead by 10+ meters :thumb:

I think he ran out of grass before hitting top, so in that respect he's not fully back to his pre-injury best but he's still a pretty fast thing regardless.
Both him and the club have done an excellent job getting him to where he is, but there is more to his game than just trailblazing.

I like the fact he constantly checked and knew where mead was tbh. He knew he’d get there so no need to make any sort of play or swap the ball to another hand. Great try.

Does me tbh. Anyone that's played Rugby will know that once you get the ball, tuck it in your arm & sprint you can feel that you're not as quick.
I was on an NRL website the other week when the WCC was on and I think it was St George was training. They were having sprints between a ball carrier and non-ball carrier. I think it was Tariq Sims that was doing it against someone else. The first time he didn't have the ball and beat the other dude easy over about 40 meters, the second time when he had the ball he had to dip to beat him out. Interesting to watch because you don't often see it side by side like that unless you do it yourself in training, if/when you played.

You only have to look at sprint relay teams times to see that and they are only carrying a batton. If you take ito account that TJ was continually adjusting his angles to steer clear of the toucline plus preparing to dive for the line his speed is incredible. By contrast all Mead had to do was get near enough to knock him off balance and he couldn't, it was a good effort but Tom was just to fast and lets not forget too balanced.

That was my earlier point - he's not just quick, he has amazing agility and control; and his acceleration off the mark is unreal.

All that said - didn't some club stats last year say that Reece Lyne was the fastest in the squad over 60 metres?

I've yet to see any evidence of this in a game. Not that I'm disputing it but even when he scored that full lengther against Leigh he looked like he was running through treacle for the last 20 metres. Lyne's game has improved massively as he's got slower that's the weird thing.
