He looks fast enough to me from those videos.

I'm not saying he's slow, just that for a back he isn't particularly quick.

I need a better report than that. Lomax is very slow. Wellens wasn't registered as moving as per the speed trap machines used in training How does he rate against those?

Re: Adam Quinlan : Mon Jul 06, 2015 7:14 pm  

It did take him a while to sign, so he can't be that quick!!

I'd imagine he'll be faster than Lomax and Wello, but slower than Swift/Makinson/Percy. We'll see

Looks quick off the mark.

Probably similar to McDonnell, but the unknown is we don't know how long its going to last. He could get injured in training.

I'd say he's quicker than McDonnell. He is no Darren Albert but I doubt too many will be able to catch him should he get through the line.

Re: Adam Quinlan : Tue Jul 07, 2015 7:24 am  

The ability to back up is an often underestimated skill, and an area where we are lacking massively.
In the Leeds debacle we made a couple of breaks in the second half but nobody was within 20 yards. Even early in the season when we was flying I remember Vea making a few 60m runs with no support.
With the lack of pace at 6 and 7 we need a fullback who is going to be on the shoulder - and Quinlan certainly looks that type

Re: Adam Quinlan : Tue Jul 07, 2015 5:10 pm  

McDonnell could shift. Perhaps Quinlan is quicker over the first 20 but I'd bet on McDonnell winning a foot race over the distance.

Re: Adam Quinlan : Tue Jul 07, 2015 5:37 pm  

No doubt he'll be faster than Lomax after 2 knee reconstructions either way. McDonnell might lose half a yard too
