How many Rothmans medals/ dally Ms did mal win. It is undeniable he was the best player of an era.

Noone is saying he wasnt amazing at club level, he won his side many games personally. However if I was to name my selection of halves at rep level, Joey would not make my top 5 list.
In no particular order:
Sterling
Langer
Stuart
Jones
Thurston
all had far bigger impacts on the game.
In my mind, Joey was good until he played with or against guys of his talent level.
@stryker said:He 'one' you the series did he? I stated in a previous post that he 'won' that series for the blues…whats your point?
How many did he play in where he was ineffectual? How many did Fittler, Stuart and Daley win for you?
The bloke was not one of this generations best rep players.

Love his dig at Mal...and rightly so:
"I owe everything in my life to rugby league. Ever since I was a kid. I'd hate to imagine where I'd be without the game that's given me everything. And even now it gives me everything.
At least he's grateful.
Theres some very perfect in life members we have right here

This is rugby league, it usually attracts the err more ''out there'' type of fella, those that live on the edge, the wild side…..you want a librarian, or a scholar...try a university.....I did time when I was 14, we trained for three months and played the Mt Penang boys in a game, our coach was an ex screw from
Glasgow or somewhere, a REAL dirty nasty ***** but it was one of the best and most fearsome experiences of my life, one I'll never forget

CB....post war players is the criteria
@innsaneink said:Heard a bit about it tonite, Frank Hyde and two other initial judges ( forget who) when they first started the concept wanted to be able to judge players that theyd actually seen play…thats why they chose post war blokes
Guys like Raper & Beetson in their day werent angels either

@tits magee said:Im a bit younger then joey And I've dabbled in party stuff …. And had so much fun in the process. Never hurt anyone, just had good time and humiliated my self numerous times. And if I had the money joey did then I would have taken in up a notch. Many many sportsman do this, I know of at least 4 nrl players and also a champion boxer that do this too. That's their business. And what they do in the arenA is another matter
