Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2424388, member: 1899"] Also, I didn't like how Johns held the game to ransom in 2004. Was a dog move yet never got called out on it. Some people might think Lockyer wasn't as good (bastards!) but at least he never did that to the game. But I'll give him some credit, I thought he did dominate Origin in '03 as well. I can see where Rock is coming from, because before then he never seemed capable of getting the job done. Always had one great game in him a series, but couldn't keep it up when it really mattered. But in '03 he was instrumental in Game 1 and in Game 2 he just blew us off the park in the first half in a typical display. Maybe Game 3 took the edge off of it for some, but the series was well and truly decided before then so I don't hold it against him. Always find it funny when people hold the current state of his opposition against Lockyer but fail to do the same with Johns. When he was up against teams that had the likes of Hegarty, Carlaw & old man Ikin with inspired positional selections such as TC in the centres, Berrigan at half, Crocker at hooker & Civoniceiva in second row. Would have been interesting to see how he'd do against the current line up. Doubt his record would look as good. [/QUOTE]
