I'd rate Stacy Jones way higher than 7th, maybe 4th.

5. Freddie
6. Noddy

I loved Shifty but he didn't produce good footy long enough to be in my top 10. From 2002-2004 he was on top of his game but after that his form declined.

Yeah he wasn’t as consistent as the elite halves I agree

Really?? If we go by stats then I have no clue who was better out of him or Freddy. I’ve just been a homer and named a list purely based on what I remember in more like a highlight reel.

Is this for everything they did since 2000 onwards or who was the best at their peak?

Yeah he was the 2nd or 3rd best halfback in the game during that time but after 2004 he went backwards big time.

A bit of both lol. Not leaning towards stats and that but what impression they left you as a fan in that time frame. Sorry, prob not as self explanatory as I thought. Lol

Like for me, was Joey in 2005 in that state of origin. What he did that second game will be forever etched in my memory. He single handily destroyed QLD that night

2nd and 3rd game. No other half could've done what he did that game. Thurston, Lockyer, Smith and Slater were powerless against him.

Arana tomatoe or what ever that flogs name was.
