“I like to keep humble about that. I’m not sure (who is quickest),” he said.
“I’d love to have a race with some of the fastest boys who are up there if the NRL set one up ... like Saab and Hammer (Tabuai-Fidow).”

Khan-Pereira gets his chance to notch a 40th try in the home derby clash with Brisbane on Saturday.
Both teams are on 20 points and mathematical chances of playing finals.
“One hundred per cent we can, we had our (three-game) winning streak a few weeks ago,” he said.
“Last week against Manly we didn’t perform our best and coming into the Dolphins we wanted to show that we can still be a top eight team. I definitely have that confidence.
“I’m so keen for (the Broncos clash). It’s a Queensland derby you know. Those are the boys down the street that you want to verse. It’s almost like backyard footy with those boys.”
The Titans won’t want to rely on coach Des Hasler giving them a halftime bake like he did against the Dolphins when they trailed 14-6. That said, Hasler does know how to get his players to focus when they stray.
“It was a clear message,” Khan-Pereira grinned.
“Des woke us up. We played better footy when Des gave us a spray.
“He was actually just screaming, to be honest. There was more screaming and ripping his hair out.
“I think he just said our execution needed to be better, quick sets. The boys did that and got us the win.”
