In the old Superstars Dessy did well, and may have got the record for 100m, (for the programme not world!). However Keith Fielding the Salford winger won it in the 70s, and was one of the stars of the show. It often seemed to be between him and Judos Brian Jacks. IIRC, in a NZ version, forward Kurt Sorenson beat All Black wing legend Stu Wilson over 100m. Hard to tell who would do well today, but the advantage is to the smaller player, wings or half backs Blanch could be a good call. Didnt Long only lose out to Ricky Hatton in Soccer ams press up comp.

Wayne Godwin is a bit of a fitness machine apparently (when not injured of course).

To be fair, we are a long, long way off. Their country was built on those principles.

I'd have though Roby would be Saints' best bet if we had to enter a player into such a comp

Ryan Hudson was the fittest player id ever seen a few years ago.
Before he got banned.
