Joey or Thurston, who is GOAT?

The contest of who is the greatest player of all time is a close run thing between Lockyer, Lewis and Langer.

In the end it's obviously that bloke what plays for my club.

Between Joey and Thurston and considering defence and attack, Joey was better. They both had all the skills in attack but Joey defended like a backrower, where as Thurston was a speedbump.

Full credit to Thurston though, he was always in the frame, always backing up and always chasing down breaks he influenced games as much as anyone I have ever seen thru pure desire and effort and that is how I will remember him but not GOAT.

Not sure either are the GOAT - although JT looks more like a goat, especially his legs, goats don't get as chunky as Joey

Johns pretty obviously the more complete player of those two

Johns was better IMO. The question is who was the best player of this generation, smith or Thurston. I go with Smith but I'm biased obviously.

NRL will have you believe its Thursto. The 'little champ' from the great underdog state of Queensland.

In reality its Andrew Johns. Even Thursto knows that.
