So roberts is estimated to do 10.7

We have russling (former track athlete at ais) at 10.7 and was it tenace I think it was at 10.3 at the pan pacs. Plus was it two others under 11?

[Fred]

Now I am at work and checking this and am again writing with a smile. But to answer your question ... And I haven't scrolled back to see what this was exactly about but here goes
There was an article that gave times measured by gps. There was an attention grabbing headline. The article explains in more detail. I just talked about what the article said ... I did not write the article.

Secondly, I would like to apologise to KE for having a laugh at his expense along with the group of friends I was with. Whilst I do get some enjoyment and a laugh from the postings here, I should not have belittled him in the way I did. My apologies.

"in a whirlwind twelve month period, Sean managed to obtain great Year 12 results which qualified him for an Environmental Science course at Flinders University, ran an astounding 10.64 seconds to resoundingly win his interschool athletics 100m metres final and came to the attention of no less than eight AFL clubs who all expressed interest in drafting a player who was not even in the club football system."

10.64 is lightening, i don't think many other players would get near him.

Corcoran's $5m plan to target kids

Athletics Australia is on a desperate search for the $5million extra funding needed each year to offer scholarships to junior athletes and make the sport a serious international player.

As the Commonwealth Games selection trials begin in Sydney today, AA chief executive Danny Corcoran admits he has just come out of the blocks in the marathon effort needed to overhaul the under-achieving sport.

Corcoran, who took over 18 months ago when the sport faced a $1.3million loss and was at its lowest ebb, needs millions of dollars to tackle the most pressing issue - the exodus of junior talent.

The sport receives $4million a year from the Australian Sports Commission, as well as sponsorship from companies including Telstra and Asics. Under Corcoran's management, AA is back on a steady financial footing but the funding is not enough to halt the talent drain to other sports.

Hundreds of promising junior runners, throwers and jumpers competed at the national schools' championship late last year. But less than five out of every 100 will go on to bigger things. AA figures show at least 95 per cent don't make the transition from junior to senior ranks, dropping out of athletics when they finish secondary school.

Most drift away because they can't afford to continue the intense twice-daily training required to match it with the world's best.

The cream are drafted to high-paying sports like the AFL, where they earn more than $50,000 in their first year. Corcoran, who came to AA after a long career with AFL clubs Melbourne and Essendon, understands the pull of team sports such as football.

But he wants extra funding so he can offer an alternative to athletes like Sean Rusling, who as a teenager ran 10.8sec for 100m and 50.1sec for 400m, but opted for an AFL career and was drafted to Collingwood in 2004.

"We have a huge amount of work to do," Corcoran said. "The few athletes we can support now are trying to get by on a few thousand dollars a year. They can't live on it. We need to raise enough revenue to offer 50 to 60 scholarships a year at up to $50,000 each, and to enable us to pay coaches, so we can have a shot at competing on the international stage."

On the surface, track and field is healthier than it has been since the glory days of the 2000 Olympics. The Melbourne Commonwealth Games, from March 15-25, has given athletes renewed drive - from up-and-comers such as 19-year-old Sally McLellan, who wants to run the 100m and 100m hurdles, to 30-something veterans like 1996 Olympic hurdles finalist Kyle Vander Kuyp.

There will be gifted juniors on show at the trials, particularly in the men's long jump and women's pole vault, where Vicky Parnov, 15, will vie with her 30-year-old aunt, Olympic silver medallist Tatiana Grigorieva (Vicky's mother is the sister of Grigorieva's former husband, pole vaulter Viktor Chistiakov).

AA's national performance director Max Binnington is impressed with recent performances and predicts Australia will win the track and field medal count in Melbourne.

But Corcoran remains concerned about the long-term prospects of keeping the best athletes competing.

Lol played 17 games in 3 years .

Try again .

[King-Eliagh]

And anyway, he got nuttin on Nic Nat, second fastest man in the world!

[King-Eliagh]

Ah bup! Lets get things straight here freddie me boy. Shirvington's analysis suggests Roberts 100metre time would be easily BELOW 10.7 seconds.

Read the link again dummy.

http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pre ... 5b97df7b8c

And Ah bup!! again, lets be straight up. I was saying thats the best we got for 2016. And then you come on in and provide a few names of AFL players from years back who barely played any games.

So I'm getting a bit tired now. So I'm gunna smack you down one last time

2016 - Rugby League has the fastest linked reference so far put forward on this forum. James Roberts sub 10.7 seconds and Korobeite 10.7seconds.

Therefore if we go on CURRENT players 'Rugby Leagues quickest are too fast for AFL. Point and winner

Now lets go on the past and give you the final thrashing you deserve! I know I know, its been a torturous 6 pages for you lads and I've really enjoyed it but there comes a time when you just gotta bring down the hammer fist.

This link provides times http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/keep ... 5925833380

Shane Whereat, who was a professional sprinter when signed by a Roosters scout in 1993. His best time for 100m was 10.05.

Whereat played 73 games in the NRL. Was a pleasure to watch him fly.

And if we wanna take it back back in time...

Ask anyone who watched rugby league in the '60s to name the fastest man in footy and they'll say Irvine like a shot. In 1961 the man who scored 200 tries for Norths and Manly ran in a specially arranged event in an attempt to break the professional 100yd world record of 9.3sec. He equalled it.

Irvine played 236 gamesWorld record equalling eh? Any AFL players been able to do that??

And if we wanna add players who "didnt really make the grade", or for example pretty much all of the players Freddie has listed lets throw in an old mate of mine Jovan

His namesake Joven Clarke was ranked No.1 100m sprinter aged under 20 when he made his debut for the Rabbitohs in 2002, with a best time of 10.49.

So the evidence is piling up now. I havent even added in a bunch of other RL flyers yet. It's pretty devastatingly against the AFL quicks.

So far its RL winning the current and leading the past flyers by a country mile.

Tap out time me thinks Freddie? Wookster?

Yours in leadership,

KING

Again. Any actual recorded times or just shirvingtons opinion/ guess. I have not read the link but all you give is shirvingtons opinion. Does he have a recorded time which if he did is great and well done.

We also have a 10.3 for an AFL player.

Russling made the grade. I think tennace did too. I may check if bored lol.

[AFLcrap1]

Lol so you ignored KEs last post that smashed your argument .
