Johns...but only just. Certainly no shame for Freddy to come second to Joey in this poll because IMO every single player in history would come second to joey.
That said, Freddy is a clear second to Joey of all players since the days of Lewis, Sterlo and Kenny. Ive never seen a player combine running and passing skills as well as Freddy. His long passing game was unsurpassed, especially those long cut out passes. And his deft short passing game was very clever. And then his running game was mesmerising...his step combined with his power made him almost unstoppable at times.
There's also his leadership skills and the fact that he is one of the best defensive backs you'll ever see. Such a complete player. But Johns is the best of all-time.
Btw, Freddy is far better than Daley IMO. Daley was good, but as i said in another thread if he was so good then why did the Raiders fall to pieces when Stuart was injured. Freddy took the Roosters to 3 staright GF's with Finch beside him. Thats incredible because making the GF is the hard part as Jack Gibson attests. Between 02-04 he was the best performed player in the game IMO.
And if he was at the Raiders then they still would have been a huge threat even when Stuart went down. but with Daley they fell to pieces. Freddy had a far better passing, running and kicking game than Daley IMO.
