Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2794141, member: 1899"] [USER=9001]@holdzy89[/USER] Because of Super League, Johns and Langer rarely competed for representative jerseys. In 1998, Joey was initially preferred at 7 but after Bob Fulton stood down, Wayne Bennett accepted the post, moving Johns to 9 and allowing Langer to play in his preferred role. When Chris Anderson took over, he retained that combination and then Langer retired a few weeks later. [USER=9126]@jd123[/USER] I'm not sure where you're pulling that 90% figure from, especially when Langer only managed one series win between 1990-96. Regardless, I wasn't comparing Alfie to those players. I was comparing those NSW players to the current mob. If you feel Braith Anasta, Mitchell Pearce, Todd Carney, James Maloney etc. were every bit as good as Johns, Daley, Fittler and Stuart more power to you but I vehemently disagree. Not only were they great players, they also played behind a great forward pack who out-performed Queensland on a consistent basis. Again, Alf had his share of luxuries at club football, but JT had an easier ride in representative football which is where a lot of his plaudits come from. [/QUOTE]
