"Johns took top spot on a countback from Queensland god Wally Lewis, who gained Immortal status in 1999. Brad Fittler, Darren Lockyer and Allan Langer rounded out the top five."

"Lenehan said the magazine commissioned six judges to name the Modern Masters the 30 best players from 1978-2007 "and it was Andrew Johns who reigned supreme".

Lenehan was joined on the selection panel by former RLW editors Tony Durkin and Norman Tasker, league historian David Middleton, former NSW and Australian forward Mark Geyer and RLW journalist Tony Adams."

there you go OD'"

Pathetic really.

1. A NSW magazine.
2. Conducted by a NSW editor, Lenehan.
3. And 5 out of 6 NSW judges.

Durkin knows his stuff, as does Middleton.

No time for any of the other 4 mentioned. Tasker? icon_lol.gif

Why not conduct it at a NSW Origin function next time?

Quote: nickcat0 "Players are bigger, faster, stronger today than ever before. Today's player is clearly better than his counterpart from 45 years ago, but the comparison isn't a fair one, because of the changes in medical treatment, diet, full time professionalism etc etc. All we can do is compare players against their rivals at the time.

I think it safe to assume that if Murphy had been born 45 years later, and had the benefits of full time training, modern healthcare and dietary knowledge, then he would have been a great player in today's game.'"


Messi is fitter than Pele too.

So?

I love it how rugby league fans who know nothing about the history of the game claim "you can't compare between eras and countries" but apparently sports like soccer or cricket can...

Wake up the lot of you.
