I voted no because I think it's a stupid question.

Best halfback? Yes. Better than Sterling, Stuart, Mortimer and Langer.
But how can you compare the role of a halfback to that of a hooker or lock or fullback? In league the role of halfback is the most visible one and hence Johns has stood out like a sore thumb over many other great players. Kennedy, Lazarus, Clyde, Fittler, Lyons, Tallis, etc.. I know if I was going to pick my all-time greatest side my first pick would be Ray Price then Fittler. Andrew Johns would be in there but well down the list.

Id argue when it comes down to it Lazo did his job as a front rower better then Johns did his as a half...

Mate, Super League teams have dominated the modern era. Why don't you look up which teams have won premierships in the last 20 years.

Ahh WHAT?? Johns was the best half from 93 all the way through to 2003 till he had way to many injuries...


Stuart wouldnt be rated in the top 5 of the last 20 years...
