36.9km/h.
Saw this posted on the Broncos Facebook earlier, and there’s a link to a little article on NRL.com about it.
Running 37km/h is seriously moving. For perspective, Usain Bolt’s top speed for his 100m world record of 9.58, was 44.72km/h.
Josh Addo-Carr clocked in at 36.8km/h, with only...
Just saw this post on the Broncos Facebook page. Jack Bird seems to be looking pretty good physically. Arms and legs look a bit skinny, so he's likely cut down a bit?

My view is that he's likely the fastest player we've had at Brisbane, with Steve Renouf coming in second. Both guys look similar...
In the Melbourne game last night, I really noticed that Melbourne have turned up the volume on their grubbiness. By that I mean, holding down a lot in the ruck, hitting kickers late, wrestling locks, high shots, mushing peoples faces in tackles etc.

Hey dudes,
So, we'll have a home final, that's a given. I know members get first dibs at the tickets, what I wanna know is, if any members on here would be happy to buy some tickets for me and a friend of mine to go and see the game? I'm happy to pay you in advance.
Please let me know!
Sorry this sounds so dumb, but I've Googled it to the hills.
Does Benny Hunt have a Twitter account? I've just signed up and can find pretty much all the players except him.
Cheers!

Unreal.
