Debut of Andrew Johns - South Sydney v Newcastle - Round 1, 1994

Andrew “Joey” John’s should never have been made an immortal at such an early time. Yes he was great, but Bradley “Freddy” Fittler should’ve been before him. Along with 20 other players.

swore he came off the bench a few times before this, did that not count as an appearance? if so, thats dumb.

Good to see crowds haven't moved much...

Yeah played some games off the bench in 93

That's stupid. You could play 300 games off the bench but yet too make your debut...

 

[mongoose]

at his peak he's still the best player I've seen. Made Newcastle a 20 point better team at least when he was on, which is ridiculous.

 

[madunit]

Yeah that's his debut - if you ignore the 3 "debut" game's he played in the year before.

Flogs can’t spell Craig fields name

 

[Knuckle-dragger]

Named an Immortal only 18 years later.

GOAT.

One can only lament the dumbing down of society and the proliferation of trolls.

 

[Knight Vision]

GOAT - THE player you'd choose if your life depended on it.

 

[Grapple]

Never heard of the f**ker

I’m not a troll, only one can troll like yourself CKnight.

Difference was in those games in 93 he was playing reserve grade before and came off the bench in first grade, quite common back then.

This Souths game was his first starting appearance back then would be classed as his debut game.

Now officially his game was against Gold Coast.
