Joey or Thurston, who is GOAT?

What!? No. Not even close to true.

The Roosters 02-04 was no doubt the peak and during that time Freddy retired from rep footy.

I can't see how someone would put Locky ahead of JT, in what way exactly? Locky was a clutch player but JT took that to the next level.

I'd imagine it's because Lockyer played with patience through out his career, whereas JT had to overcome his tendancy to overplay. JT wasn't afraid of rolling the dice, that was his greatest asset, but there was a time where the pressure would get to him and when he needed to step up, he'd stumble. So that fluctuation could hinder JT's case, as well as Lockyer's profile as Queensland and Australian captain while JT played.

Personally I consider them both elite talents, and really enjoyed watching them both run round.

Your description is the very reason they complemented each other so much at rep footy.

Will replace either Brett Morris or Ryan Hall at the Roosters in a year or two nicely.

Can’t they already signed 3 more backs now that they let momirovski go?

I’d say so, yes.

not a real good drill to compare the 2 IMO.

It should be a more of a dummy half/hooker style contest, Joey was the master of this position for the Kangarooos........

indeed, further highlights the vast difference between the skill set of both players.

Joey by the length of the Hume Highway. Thurston was just the GOAT at Coffs.
