Frankly though. Johns at his best gives a FAR better display of RL than Murphy at his best.

Johns played vs Athletes. Murphy played vs Fat Barstewards.'"


Make a Note Everyone!

From this moment on none of this posters comments can ever be taken seriously again!

Without a shadow of a doubt the Most Ludicrous Post I have EVER Seen on here!

I am just hoping that you come on later and tell me someone from a local Mental Hospital has maybe broke in your house, stole your User I.D & password and logged on as you and wrote such idiotic comments!

If not

HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME!

PS

How would Boston have gone on against Today's players??? icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

If you never saw Murphy play what do you base that statement on ?

I have seen the occasional highlight, of course.


As for the previous posters "post" then icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif


"The truth hurts"


You can make certain parallels.

From what I have seen Murphy relied on his oppo's being fat part timers.


Johns didn't have that luxury.

Les Boyd & Mal Menninga.

Despised them both, largely because they played for Wire & Stains, but would have loved them in that 80s Wigan team.

I would suggest that if a Paitent from a Local Mental hospital hasn't broken into your house and stolen your Identity then you should thumb through the yellow pages and look for their number, ask if they could send a Yellow Van and a straight jacket and then go and get yourself checked out!

I REALLY hope you're a Stains fan.



Surely a Wigan fan can't be so retarded? icon_smile.gif icon_smile.gif

I'm afraid Pal there's NO-ONE who dislikes Saints more than me but I'm afraid I'm either falling for the biggest wind up in history or you've just lost the plot totally!

I've probably read Hundreds/Thousands of your posts over the last couple of year and whether I agreed/disagreed with your comments I never had you down as a complete Idiot!
Just goes to show You Never Know!

I really struggle to see why I am an idiot for suggesting that Johns > Murphy.


Care to explain?

My god, such conviction to go with not even half an argument.

How about you put Johns back in the day without his super fitness, playing with the 5 yard rule instead of 10. Playing on muddy pitches in the middle of winter, with a ball that weighed about 8 times what a modern day ball does. Do all that, and still be the most gifted half back of your generation by a country mile.

Now, give Murphy a perfectly dry track, 5 more yards to work in, far superior fitness levels, improving his natural speed even more, and give him alot more stamina.

Now, we'd start to see very different players in each respect, if you stuck them in another era.

Fact is you've no idea what so ever how each player would perform, you can only go off what they did when they played.

I'd love either player, even better I'd take both. The fact is though, I can't comment fully on Murphy as I never saw him week in week out. That's why I won't make stupidly bold comments based on a player I've really got no idea about.

Current Saints players I like/respect even though I know I shouldn't:

- Cunningham: great player: inspirational captain and he has done bloody well to be at the top for such a long time.

- Graham: never gives less than 100% and one of the best props in the competition.

In stark contrast, I can't stand Long or Wellens. Both can be brilliant but I don't like their attitudes and I feel the latter has been lucky to play in the team he does (well as lucky as you can be having to play for St Helens. icon_wink.gif ).
