LiesYou could say the same for many great HB.
Take Mortimer out of the 79, 80 and 85 sides. We don't make the 79 GF and we don't win the 80 and 85 GF either.
Take Cronk out of 2012 and Dogs are odds on to win that GF.
Johns played most of his career in a star studded Newcastle side often with 8+ internationals/Origin players. His GF record doesn't stake up against other great HB. Langer played in a star studded Brisbane side and won 3.5 GF compared to John's 1.5.
The truth hurts doesn't it Mrs Johns?Lies
This is the final answer. Nothing else need be saidNo way Mason would be an Immortal, too many who are as good as him or better.
SBW on the other hand would've achieved legendary status and become the best ever forward to have ever played the game.
Burgess is widely regarded as the best forwrd of all timeLow benchmark
Compared to the great Bradley Clyde?
A distant second
Clyde is so forgotten, relative to his ability and achievements - likely because he has kept a low public profile, but was the greatest
Fark off, he wouldn't even be in my top 20, only millennials would rate him at all.Burgess is widely regarded as the best forwrd of all time
That rubbish!!! By who?Burgess is widely regarded as the best forwrd of all time
Yea ........keep on guzling....Burgess is widely regarded as the best forwrd of all time
And just behind them we had Isaac Luke at 17, who could’ve gone onto be a great hooker for us for a decade.We had Thurston and SBW at 19 and 21 and they didn’t even play 2 years together. Man that was a decade of supremacy that we just pi55ed away
I read an interview where he said that when it’s all said and done and he has his quiet moments drifting off to sleep at night, ‘I just want to feel like I’ve made w00t proud’In terms of pure talent SBW had it all.
If he was in our 2009 and 2012 side we most likely would've won the premiership in those two years alone. In all honesty our teams for both those years perform well above their talent level and if you add a superstar like SBW there, it's a premiership.
The thing is from SBW's perspective his career has gone far better than he could've ever imagined, he's got 2 RWCs, 2 NRL premierships and more money than any NRL star so i doubt he'll care what we think much like we don't give a shit about him either
Sbw was the best back rower to ever play, imagine he stayed those 5 years woulda broken all sorts of recordsthere is a difference between best players and most talented.
SBW is the most talented forward i have ever seen, but is he the best player no.
Benji is the most talented back i have ever seen, but is the best player no where near it. there is a massive difference.
Both players can do things no player can do, but where they the best ever players no.
