But mead wasn't carrying a ball
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
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.
