johns is simpl the greatest halfback ever you cocksuckers, 3 dally m's, 2 golden boots, clive churchill, fuck load of best and fairest, halfback of the century as voted by the players.
I was at that game and thinking the Knights were going to get beaten I started to make my way out but then stopped as we scored in the corner to level up. Goes to show that anything can happen.
Andrew Johns is not the greatest player of all time he isnt even the greatest halfback of all time all Johns is, is drug cheat there are plenty of players that are better and i can name at least 5 halfbacks past and present that are better 1 Allan Langer (the best half back of all time) 2 Peter Sterling 3 Steve Mortimer 4 Johnathan Thurston 5 Bob Fulton they all had better stastics than Johns and they r a ll clean and Johns played most ofd his rep career at Hooker bening stuart and toovey
It doesnt matter that the drugs he took r or arent perforance inhancing DRUGS ARE ILLEGAL he is a hero to alot of young kids playing the game what a example he is by saying he took drugs throughout his career and got away with it not good. He played hooker for the first 5 years at hooker in the rep scene toovey langer and stuart were ahead of him.the only thing Johns had on the other h/b i mentioned is he could kick goals thats all. The others had the better alround game. JOHNS IS OVER RATED
let me say this mate 1987 was langers debut in origin he was 21 at the time due 2 his size Lewis and bennett didnt want him as they thought he was more a negitive than a positive didnt he make them eat their words. He only made the team because mark murry got injured and Laurie Spina was suspended so they picked Alffie and never looked back no other half back had more rule changes because of his dominance.
Its shows i know more than u about talented footballers ur just a biased NSW fuckwit typicial always want everything but when u dont get u WHINGE WHINGE WINGE
I would beat the shit out of you if i could ever meet you, joey is the greatest player to have ever played league, even Mal & wally pale in comparison
get ur eyes put of ur arse mate johns isnot and never will b the greatest footballer ever the king isnt the king 4 nothing hes the best of the best with langer the best of the best halfbacks there r planty of half backs way way better than johns past and present
for a start lewis played about 6 good games his whole career. he played in the qld comp such a hard competition...not. johns dominated at every level for years he single handly won premierships lewis could never of done that
well he didnt wi 9 ill repeat that again 9 man of the match awards in the state of origin johns never won that many. johns only won 2 premierships in his career. All the experts all say Lewis is the best only dimwitted NSW supporters think other wise. Langer is the best halfback ever 2 play and his stats proove it with premierships state of origin series wins he won us the world cup he won us the tri series and Langer is a clean skin where Johns is a drug cheat. JOHNS IS NOT THE BEST LEWIS IS
for a start it was 8 man of the match awards u sped. langer are u kidding yourself he was good but he has nothing on johns. langer had a team around him full of equally good players to help him jonhs did alot of it on his own. johns did all of that aswell u fukin dickhead. experts? who are these experts.
Langer Sterling Mortimier Thurston just 2 name a few half backs r all better than Johns. Johns what a hero hes a fucking drug cheat and the NRL/ARL knoew about it when tallis reported it but no1 made it public. The experts all have said it the likes of Phil Gould Peter Sterling Johnny Raper Reg Gasinier Norm Provan just 2 name a few all said that Lewis is the best player 2 ever lace up. He wasnt called the KING for nothing u fuckwit
ok fuckwit take a look at rugny league week greatest players of last 30 years..johns is number 1 im pritty sure that just kills whatever ur tryin to say coz u have no idea. the reason he was called the king was bcoz he was before johns if johns came first he would of been called the king. lets think who got voted greatest halfback ever oh yea tats right it was andrew johns
I'm a die hard Dragons fan and as a result know something about losing in the final seconds in excruciating circumstances. Now on most occasions I'll be the first to admit that we blew the game ourselves. But in this game there's no doubt that we were dead set dudded. With 60 seconds to go Lance Thompson took the ball up and miraculously lost it in the tackle with three Knights players on him. Loose carry???? NO WAY. It was dead set raked out, but the ref chickened out of making a call. BAH.
i was there for that game, it was amazing. 1/4 of the crowd left after the dragons scored their try but we stayed and saw them pull off an amazing comeback. I Never gave up hope on him and i will always remember watching him play. THE best NRL player ever. Joey johns.
it doesnt fucking matter whos better! they both made team of the century therefore they are a few of the best ever players fukn get over it.. i favour andrew johns becuase he is the reason i watch nrl and support knights.... and no just becuase andrew johns retired doesnt mean ill quit knights. i am still a huige fan i love kurt gidley 2008- premiers!!!
Wake-up you clown!!! i am a total Wally supporter, but i believe Johns is the best and that NRL will never see someone as good as him again... I am sick of this stupid Lewis and Johns debate!! leave it at Johns the best halfback and Lewis the best Five-eigth!!!! You are a joke
the final score was 32-30. Before this kick, Adam MacDougall scored in the corner with 10 seconds to go to make the score 30-all, and Joey added the icing on the cake to win for the Knights.The kick that you're talking about Y2Tanz that was a win or lose kick was the Hazem El Masri kick from the sideline at the same ground, the year before in 2002. Score was 21-20, and El Masri's conversion made it 22-21. But nethertheless, Andrew Johns is the best player I've seen, and yes, better than Fittler
oh dont worry about anything i said i remember it 32-31 but i was only 10-11 when this happned so yer i thought differently dw about when i said 31-30 or that shit... woulda been deadly but hey ure down by 1 kick to come mis u lose get it you win woah that'd be tough
And im glad to see you followed his whole career, rather then looking up his statistics on some website. Jordan Aitkins scored 4 tries on his debut..does that mean he will be a great winger?
You wouldnt have a clue if johns played great his whole career...because he didnt...he never played starting half for nsw until the early 2000's...only time he did play before then, was when geoff toovey/brett kimorley were injured...Johns was injured most of his career...thats why hes only played 249 games
Sorry mate but I didnt. I happen to remember watching it even, and I have heard it been brought up on occasions.
And what do you mean I dont have a clue that Johns played good his whole career? How would you know? I actually saw it with my own eyes. I grew up watching Wally aswell.
And no Johns was halfback in 1998. He went back to hooker in 2000.
Well you look at Johns career and look how many injuries he had, but look how much he has achieved.
What makes you think that? Because I can back him up? But I have never really liked him that much, I am a queenslander, Wally is by far my all time favorite player.
But I just think Johns is the best.
But its hard to compare them because they're from differet era's.
So I leave it as Johns the best halfback and Lewis the best five-eighth.
Sorry everyone who disses joey johns is pathetic. Because ur team couldnt have a player such as him. Ha well too bad, knights got him and ended up being the best no matter what anyone says. Knights all the way
idiots he got 2543 points in total with 98 tris and 304 games. most of his points come from conversions with 1062 conversions x 2 would = 2156 points wally had 399 games and 161 tries 48 goals and 27 feild goals if he didn't have so many easy feild goals he woudn't have so many points idiots. Wally would kick andrews arse
johns had way better skill that wally he could pass and kick way better and had a better footy brain he could spot great plays a mile away just coz wally got more tries don't make him a better player and on a seperate note darren lockear and johnny thurston suck cock and no one can convince me otherwise and btw FREDDY FITTLER!!!! FTW THE BEST 5-EIGHTH EVER!!!!
wally invented the spiral pass and one of the first one's he threw went 30 metres and put mal meninga in for a try during a test match, so i say wally's passing is either equal or better
'only played 249 games'? ONLY? are u an idiot or something mate? its so rare for players to get passed 200, let alone practically on 250! Jesus Christ mate, thats a silly call of u.
andrew johns is on the same level as pele, bradman, woods....the greatest in his sport for a long period of time. plus, he tells the truth which is very rare in society today.
ohhh fuck off u must b on the same drugs Johns takes Johns will NEVE EVER be on the same level as Pele Bradman Woods. Pele Bradman Ali and Woods were all the best in their field Johns isnt even the best Half Back in the game there at least 5 that were better than him and The King Wally Lewis is the best player 2 ever lace up a pair of boots and Johns is a drug cheat
i know this much stats dont lie Johns only won 2 ptemierships he played oput of position when he 1st played 4 NSW and Australia
he was behind Ricky Stewart IN the NSW team and behind Allan Langer in the test team. Johns is not the best player in Rugby League Hes nothing mpre than a cocaine addict and a drug cheat. WOW WHAT A ROLE MODEL. Ther best player 2 ever play Rugby League is THE KING WALLY LEWIS. The best Half Back is Allan Langer stats dont lie
oh thats funny, that little statement proves you are not the sharpest tool in the shed...he was behind them because he was incredibly young and lacking experience
its just common sense.
he had more skill then both of them together, and unlike them, he had the defensive skills of a forward.
A drug cheat is somone who takes drugs to enhance their abilitys, like robbie o davis and Adam McDougal, Johns had an ecstasy tablet in his pocket...
And Langer wasnt Langer was 21 when he made his debut 4 QLD and he always played H/B . Lenger wasnt even wanted by Bennett and Lewis who both said that he lacked the size for origin and he proved them both wrong. Johns not only had a ecstasy tablet in his pocket he admitted 2 taking cocaine his entire career it doesnt matter if the drug is performance inhancing or not TAKING DRUGS IS ILLEGAL WHAT A ROLE MODEL. Johnms is and always will b remembered as a drug cheat. Lewis and Langer shit on Joey
then go watch soccer as u have no idea what talent really is as u havent got a clue what ur talking about so until u have a agruement that actually means something then give me a come back. But that wont happen as ill just keep shutting u down with proof
@poitty1978 ur the dumbest fuck ever you probably cant read ur that fucking retarted but johns got voted the greatest player of last 30 years over lewis....so therefore that makes johns no.1
ohhh mate i just love ur useless comments everytime u open ur fucking stupid useless mouth u make no sense whatso ever. Everyman and his dog knows that the KING is the best and nothing will change that. Your going from a book thats written in NSW and i sense a alot of bias there get public opinion and ull find the real no1 player and it will b Lewis by a country mile johns wont even get into the top 5.
Joey is still best best and i think will be the best for many years to come. when you think about it he didn't take performance enhancing drugs... he is still my hero :)
andrew johns is not overrated he s the best eva player to play the game he'd shit all ova lewis and langer lewis dominated origin but who dominated the nrl andrew johns thats rite if johns played in lewises days lewis would have been a nobody he is a bloody legend and will always be remembered for hes talent and ability not for the drugs he took nely all the nrl players would be on it giv em all a piss bottle each and ull be amazed by the results
Anyone who thinks Andre Johns was the ants pants is the one with no credibility . Youre just another mindless sheep who believes everything they read in the Telegraph or hears on ch9 .
Youre so wrong birouse . To be a victim of tall poppy you have to be a genius . Johns a media creation . Sorry if you cant handle that . The most overrated player ever . Same as greg norman . He was no victim of tall poppy , he used to shit himself every time he was a chance in a us major . Andrew Johns only got a profile when all the good players in his position went to super league anyway . Thats the reality of it . Dont start cying birouse .
mate your absouloute f*#khead. Joey is easily the games greatest player ever. Any way didnt all the super league players come back after one year, thats right they did and joey was still the best.
Idiot, Superleague lasted 1 year. All these "good players" you talk of came back in 1998. Johns dominated at Club, State & International level for 10 years.
When he was playing, current immortals we calling for him to be an immortal, Wally didn't have that. He is the only player to have won the Dally M 3 times and he finished his career as the highest points scorer in premiership history.
Lipkee1, crawl back under you hole, you aren't worth the air you breathe, you have no credibility at all
I don't idolise him. I just recognise that there is a distinction between on-field ability and what he does off-field. And when you look at what he did on the park it is difficult to deny that he is the best ever. Whether he is a fat stoner or not is irrelevent.
hahahahah warriors suck, and so do new zealand u havnt won a world cup and weve won 9 u got beaten 58-0 :). the only good players in the warriors are aussie lol michael witt and wade mckinnon lol. The only sport new zealand beat australia in is union oooo hahahahah

poitty1978 2 years ago
The drugs he took don't enhance his performance.
Johns was a more complete player than all 5 of them.
And MOST of Johns's rep career was at hooker? Don't be a tool... maybe the first 2 years. There was no Toovey and Stuart around from 99-06.

poitty1978 2 years ago
Just watch State of Origin Game 2 2005 and tell me those halfbacks could do that.
And yeah but it's so hard to break into those teams mate! Allan Langer had cemented that place and Johns was still 22 in 1998...
Ok so now you're calling him a bad role model. I agree with that more. However a drug cheat is debatable.

In his first ever first grade game, he scored 3 tries, kicked 8 goals from 8 and a field goal.

i mean steve mortimer was great but him and lamb couldnt beat wally
i maintain the only team who could beat wally's team was parramatta because they had kenny

andrew johns is the best
pivotmaster285 3 years ago
andrew johns is on the same level as pele, bradman, woods....the greatest in his sport for a long period of time. plus, he tells the truth which is very rare in society today.
cokballs 3 years ago
ohhh fuck off u must b on the same drugs Johns takes Johns will NEVE EVER be on the same level as Pele Bradman Woods. Pele Bradman Ali and Woods were all the best in their field Johns isnt even the best Half Back in the game there at least 5 that were better than him and The King Wally Lewis is the best player 2 ever lace up a pair of boots and Johns is a drug cheat

its people like you that have NO knowledge of Rugby League whatsoever.
aussiestuff 2 years ago
So i have no knowledge of rugby league huh
i know this much stats dont lie Johns only won 2 ptemierships he played oput of position when he 1st played 4 NSW and Australia
he was behind Ricky Stewart IN the NSW team and behind Allan Langer in the test team. Johns is not the best player in Rugby League Hes nothing mpre than a cocaine addict and a drug cheat. WOW WHAT A ROLE MODEL. Ther best player 2 ever play Rugby League is THE KING WALLY LEWIS. The best Half Back is Allan Langer stats dont lie
poitty1978 2 years ago
oh thats funny, that little statement proves you are not the sharpest tool in the shed...he was behind them because he was incredibly young and lacking experience
its just common sense.
he had more skill then both of them together, and unlike them, he had the defensive skills of a forward.
A drug cheat is somone who takes drugs to enhance their abilitys, like robbie o davis and Adam McDougal, Johns had an ecstasy tablet in his pocket...
aussiestuff 2 years ago
And Langer wasnt Langer was 21 when he made his debut 4 QLD and he always played H/B . Lenger wasnt even wanted by Bennett and Lewis who both said that he lacked the size for origin and he proved them both wrong. Johns not only had a ecstasy tablet in his pocket he admitted 2 taking cocaine his entire career it doesnt matter if the drug is performance inhancing or not TAKING DRUGS IS ILLEGAL WHAT A ROLE MODEL. Johnms is and always will b remembered as a drug cheat. Lewis and Langer shit on Joey

your argument is falling apart, im finished with someone who should be watching soccer
aussiestuff 2 years ago
then go watch soccer as u have no idea what talent really is as u havent got a clue what ur talking about so until u have a agruement that actually means something then give me a come back. But that wont happen as ill just keep shutting u down with proof
poitty1978 2 years ago
all the greats regard him as the best. So does everyone else except you.
That should be enough for anyone
aussiestuff 2 years ago
i bet 2 differ only David Middleton says Johns is the best
Even Phil Gould Peter Sterling Reg Gasiner Bob Fulton all have said it publicly that Lewis is the best. Only NSW ppl think the other way Lewis No1
poitty1978 2 years ago
@poitty1978 ur the dumbest fuck ever you probably cant read ur that fucking retarted but johns got voted the greatest player of last 30 years over lewis....so therefore that makes johns no.1
dapple92 2 years ago
ohhh mate i just love ur useless comments everytime u open ur fucking stupid useless mouth u make no sense whatso ever. Everyman and his dog knows that the KING is the best and nothing will change that. Your going from a book thats written in NSW and i sense a alot of bias there get public opinion and ull find the real no1 player and it will b Lewis by a country mile johns wont even get into the top 5.
So mate go fuck urself u useless fuckstick.

Anyone who thinks Andre Johns was the ants pants is the one with no credibility . Youre just another mindless sheep who believes everything they read in the Telegraph or hears on ch9 .
lipkee1 4 years ago
Youre so wrong birouse . To be a victim of tall poppy you have to be a genius . Johns a media creation . Sorry if you cant handle that . The most overrated player ever . Same as greg norman . He was no victim of tall poppy , he used to shit himself every time he was a chance in a us major . Andrew Johns only got a profile when all the good players in his position went to super league anyway . Thats the reality of it . Dont start cying birouse .
lipkee1 4 years ago
mate your absouloute f*#khead. Joey is easily the games greatest player ever. Any way didnt all the super league players come back after one year, thats right they did and joey was still the best.
go die you queensland faggot

Idiot, Superleague lasted 1 year. All these "good players" you talk of came back in 1998. Johns dominated at Club, State & International level for 10 years.
When he was playing, current immortals we calling for him to be an immortal, Wally didn't have that. He is the only player to have won the Dally M 3 times and he finished his career as the highest points scorer in premiership history.

I don't idolise him. I just recognise that there is a distinction between on-field ability and what he does off-field. And when you look at what he did on the park it is difficult to deny that he is the best ever. Whether he is a fat stoner or not is irrelevent.
