Most skilful player / GOAT debate

[GNR4LIFE]

Bloke passes the ball to his outside man from a scrum and he's a superstar. What an exaggeration. He was a good halfback but the most overrated player of all time.

NSW media always tried to put him on the same level as Wally when it came to Origin. Wally dominated almost every series he played. Joey didn’t.

Wally also played in a second tier competition most of his career. Sure he dominated origin/tests but that’s about it.

Tedda last year with the Maggies was 1924, 100 years ago. You must have been very young, Todd.

He's confusing him with his son Edward Courtney Jnr, you know the mind starts going at his age. 😁

I laugh when people think Wally or whoever is the best player ever. It’s clearly Joey imo. He did EVERYTHING

I wonder how much coke he snorted before that game... He is not an immortal, he's a myth.

One game. Didn’t do it his whole career

Agreed. He and Thurston are two of the most protected players in the game, ever. Didn't matter what they did, it was covered up.

No Joey completely dominated week in week out in the hardest competition in the world and dragged a bog average team to finals and premierships.

Did it his entire career...week in week out.

The fix was on in 05 to get him the Dally M medal. Tele gave him 3 points in the last round in a game Newcastle lost. Thankfully Thurston still won it that year.

The point was about Origin

Regardless of the sport, you need a story.

Joey was super talented and proved it, no doubt! However, he has admitted that it was drug-assisted.

Regardless, the only conversation I want to have is how do we sign Bradman Best?

Giving away your age Odessa knowing that about Gasnier.

I saw Gasnier play who was great but Ken Irvine was the
Best to watch, he made everyone look like statues
