I think rugby has the bragging rights on which code has the best athletes. Earlier in the year on the Rexona Australias Greatest Athlete James O'Connor beat Billy Slater in the 40m dash.

Considering Slater won the overall thing, not really.

Much respect for Lachie. We've always known he's quick, now everyone else does. Grant got a surprisingly good start for a bloke of his size. He's bloody quick too.

This is too funny. I was on a league forum prior to the race and there was not a real lot of talk about Lachie, and plenty of John Grant who? comments. Lots of talk about Hayne and Inglis then straight after the race the forum was flooded with about 50 bitching, whinging comments in only a few seconds. Great seeing the Union blokes 1 and 2.

Wasn't Turner a GPS sprinter for Newington, or was it Rosengreen?

Yeah he holds the GPS hurdles record, he never did 100m straight out.

Should've got Greg Jeloudev to race, one of the quickest rugby players I've seen - ran sub 11 in GPS

It's entirely subjective, if you value speed and change of direction then Turner is your man and if you value size and power Inglis is your man.

They are completely different body shapes.

I'd say it's objective. Turner hasn't shown much of a step or swerve. Inglis has that plus good speed, balance, more skill etc and would have scored that try on the weeked. I'm not a mungo but Inglis is a freak and would clean up in union IMO. Anyone care to disagree?

No, subjective is correct.

Turner showing step and swerve:

Inglis has not got more swerve that Turner because it's harder to duck and weave in a body that big.

And as for "more skill", Turners strengths are under the high ball and Inglis' are in offloading. It's different rather than better or worse.

I wouldn't question that Inglis could do very well in union but the sports are different games so who knows.

EDIT: I am not a Turner fanboy in the least, quite the opposite. Inglis is obviously a better league player then Turner is a rugby player.

Just as well Rod Davies wasn't running; he would have embarrassed a few folk. Mind you the fastest league players weren't there either.

Please go back to your league forum. With all the anti- union propaganda of late I think it's appropriate that we rejoice in the fact that rugby has had a victory.
