Just thought I'd randomly throw this in. I came across this while scrolling across various news sites, and one was publishing tributes to Joey by fans. This one was by a woman from Papua New Guinea (with not very good English), and for some reason I found it extremely touching.
Lillyanne Soweto - Johns was a very great player I've ever watched. He's been a titanic boy in rugby league. Papua New Guineanians will really miss our golden boy with magic feet, that's what we describe him, espeacilly NSW supporters. When Johns is in the field for all State of Origin games,I knew that NSW will win. He is a best goal kicker as well as Hezel El Masari.No Australian Players are like Johns. We gonna miss our favourite player.He is a clean, good thinker and hard bloc to watch when in the field. I cried because he is my favourite player and I like watching him play a good game but now I won't sit in front of the television because I won't see him. On behalf of Papua New Guineanians,I would like to wish him all best and May the Bless you and get well soon.
