I seem to recall that when Reece arrived, at some point they put him up against another reputed "speed merchant", just who I can't recall, in a length of the pitch race against each other. Perhaps I dreamed it all.

I don't remember that at all.
Doesn't mean it's not true though.
Speed alone doesn't make you a great winger.
As has been pointed out Tom has the full bag of tricks and, that's what makes him great . If he stays clear of injuries this season he'll get even better.
I remember Berwyn Jones, an olympic sprinter we signed in the 60's and reputedly the 4th fastest man in the world scoring many tries with speed alone, but the game was different then and wingers had more room to work in.
If Jones was playing now, with his speed he would still probably blow them all away (a guess ) but he wouldn't score half as many tries as he did then.
