Quote: wire-quin "Interesting that Slater hasn't been mentioned and Smith only fleetingly. 2 brilliant played who when this thread is run again in 5 years will feature more prominently.'"
Smith may well take the mantle from Johns, he's the only one who can
People are mentioning a lot of players who are pure athletes & incredibly agile
Smith & Johns were / are pure footy players, both incredible students of the game, both have brains as well as all the weapons they need / needed to play their position or turn a game on its head
Thurston is a bees prick away from these two, as a half he hasn't got the strength & defence of Johns
