Latrell’s match-winning’s passage traveled faster than Usain Bolt
The two scientists who set up the Canterbury Matt Burton Super-Boot launched a torpedo bomb of 33.68 m In the air-o the equivalent of 16 Nelson Asafa-Solomonas and a geoff weclper-dice a match against Parramatta last June, I ran the passage of the Mitchell’s pass for Tass last Friday evening.
Tom Sindl, professor of the School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW, and Scott Sisson, deputy director of data science at the Unsw to the Institute and Professor in statistics at the Unsw, studied the video at the request of this Masthead.
The couple also studied the ritual passage of Brisbane Reece Walsh a Jesse Arthars on Saturday evening as a comparison.
“Latrell Mitchell’s winning trial passage against Sydney’s Gauls traveled in the air for about a second before being captured by Isaiah Tass, based on the closest frame of video recording and a MilliseCondi’s precision timer,” said the couple in an e-mail.
“During this flight, the ball traveled about 15 m through the field, based on where Latrell passed the ball and where Tass captured the ball.
“By ignoring any movement of the ball up or down the field, the average speed of the passage was about 15 meters per second. There are about 54 km/h.
“In comparison, the passage of Reece Walsh for the attempt of Jesse Arthars had an average speed of about 13 meters per second, or 47 km/h, since it traveled about 14 meters through the field for 1.1 seconds. This was again based on the closest frame of the video recording and a Millisecondi precision timer.
“Reece’s passage traveled a slightly shorter distance, but also required a little more time.”
Bolt remains the fastest man ever over 100 m when he blocks 9.58 seconds, which was equivalent to 10.44 m per second. Bolt needed 1.43 seconds to cover 15 m-quasi half second slower than the winner of the Mitchell match.

Mitchell moved to five eighth against the Gauls once Cody Walker and Jamie Humphreys came from the field with lesions to the knee tendon and on Saturday he will wear the number 6 against North Queensland on Saturday for the double head of the Perth Nrl.
