Message: [QUOTE="Hamm.0, post: 2437734, member: 1852"] Broncoman; the only controversial thing about Johns being named an immortal is.....the guy wasn't that good a player! I know you have watched many replays of Johns' career highlights and listen to your friends and family tell you Johns was awesome, but go look at his stats vs. games played vs. rep games. The guy couldn't even make the NSW #7 for over half his career. Johns is a myth propagated by the NSW RL social/media circles to satisfy a NSW desire to claim that the "greatest player" comes from NSW. Johns was a great player, I'm not taking that off him. However in my time, I've seen better NSW halves. Peter Sterling, Brett Kenny, Greg Mortimer and Brad Fittler were all easily better players than Johns. In fact, if I was naming my "greatest NSW player of the last 25 years" award the shortlist would be; Sterling, Fittler, Kenny, Wayne Pearce and Bradley Clyde. [/QUOTE]
