How good is Andrew Johns?

He was unbelievable tonight. Can anybody think of a halfback in the past or present that is or was anywhere near him?

Not at the moment.

There are HBs capable of playing to his level, but they can't do it consistently.

I still believe at his powers Langer was equal to him. Just remember that every halfback plays a different brand of football. Joey is the best of the currentbunch by a LONG way! Ricky Stuart, Steve Mortimer, Tommy Raudonikis, Peter Sterling were all very good in their own right!

Langer was a very ordinary kicker of the ball, that right there puts him way behind Johns, no need to compare them further.

Johns is the best of all time, it will be a VERY long time before there is another like him (and he'll probably be a Rooster due to the amount of money they love paying the bright prospects).

Anyway, I'm sure Red and Blue Knight will be here soon to tell you all about Johns' career and why he's so great anyway :roll:.

Jason Taylor :lol::lol:. All the halfbacks like radonikas, sterling, stuart were great, Johns is the same. Johns does have a advantage over them that is he has an ear to the media through his brother who instantly want andrew to be immortalised.

As far as passing goes, I remember Cliffy holding passes up to put players in to holes. He is still my favourite player. But Johns seems to have it all. I thought Langer was a great, don't know if he was as good as Johns though.

Johns is the best ever. Complete game and kicks goals. What else can you say about him. He basically is the Don Bradman of League and would dominate Union as well.

:lol: Yeah, rightio mate. They weren't calling Johns the best player ever back in 2002 before Matty got into Media afterall.

... Wait a minute

poor mans Ricky Stuart :)

Ricky is ignorant mans Peter Sterling ;-).

There are some who say Andrew Johns, like Shane Warne, poos pure white and it has absolutely no smell at all. I'm inclined to believe them.
