There is one figure Josh Addo‑Carr would like to better in Game 2 of the State of Origin this Sunday and that is to break the record of the fastest player in Origin.

The Storm winger only became aware of it when he was told that the Telstra Tracker technology in game one clocked him at 36.3 km per hour when he made his break down the MCG touchline on June 6.

His legs carried him just a fraction faster than Queensland winger Valentine Holmes at 35.2 km per hour, giving him the honour of fastest man on the field.

Now that the figure is in his head – 36.3 km per hour – Addo‑Carr has a target to break.

The NSW Flyer says his target is to get to 36.4 km per hour and set a new record. ," the NSW flyer said before breaking into that trademark laugh of his.

The Blues will take on the Maroons at 9.40pm Sunday at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney.
