I have seen the occasional highlight, of course.


As for the previous posters "post" then








"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.

But he was a 'part timer' too, surely that makes a level playing field.

Totally.



Doesn't make the quality of RL less impressive though does it?



This is actually a nice metaphor for my thoughts on the CC.

I'm afraid your the one that from now on will be

at!

Riiiiiiiiiiight.


I will be laughed at for pointing out that the greatest RL player in the history of the game was better than a short d mouthy gobe.........


Ok whatever you say pal..............

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?

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?

Your allowed your opinions, What you are basing your opinions on is total Drivel.
Not going over old ground but I will ask you this 1 question.

Who was a Better scrum half Andy Gregory or Thomas Leaulia????

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.
