I think it was more "would have loved to have played n kicked their asses" Joey also praises blues players he played with. There is something to be said for picking n staying.. then swappin n changing. How many players go through trying to find a "good team" instead of pickin n stickin n letting things build.

@@boganbob2708 I have to ask why do people like yourself bring up this 21 year wins in a row like it's some amazing NSW record ? I'm only asking because I can't find it in the origin records...also I heard someone say that a lot of the players in this NSW winning streak were actually from QLD. I can't tell if this record is true or not because I can't find it but you seem to be sure so can you send a link that provides this info. Also a link that can say where the players were from that played in this NSW winning streak... sorry but I have to know for sure because if half the players are from QLD you can't really call it a NSW record.

@@jackthedrought342 The record is true and in the history books. Rugby league didn't start in the 80s with SOO and a rebranding for a TV audience. Or the advent of the NRL for cable tv. Professional rugby league and rep footy has been played since 1908 in Australia. NSW had 1or2 imported players back then during their record. But Qld always had more imports, just as they still do today. Some modern QLD SOO sides have had over 8 imports in a single side. Even when they were successful. Past and current NSW sides never had anything like this. Trying to use imported players argument to invalidate past success of teams only delegitimizes modern records more.

I’m a Blues fan big time but I really love the players they acknowledge each other for their time during footy. That what makes footy interesting, enemy in the field for 80 minutes but have a beer after and praise each other. Amazing 👍👍

Hahaha Joey rolling his eyes at 1:41 is gold 😂

As much as I love Locky and Cooper Cronk the thought of Johns being at halfback with Billy, JT and Smith in the spine sounds absolutely terrifying. Its clear these guys would have loved the chance to play together for the Kangaroos

Never forget for 40 minutes Australia fielded a spine of 1. Lockyer 6. Thurston 7. Johns 9. Buderus. In Johns’s last test match after Karmichael hunt got knocked into a heavy coke problem. I mean concussion. Some of the best spines we’ve actually had were 1. Lockyer 6. Johns 7. Langer 9. Hethrington And of course 1. Lockyer 6. Fittler 7. Langer 9. Johns. That’s just the 98/99 seasons.

Never seen a NSW man as passionate about his state as Joey. Legend thanks for the wonderful memories ❤

Can you imagine the 04 05 nsw team up against the 10yr dominant qld team. Now that would have been proper footy.

As an avid sports fan, but a Victorian, it was incredible watching Andrew Johns play. He was awe inspiring as he was just so obviously so much better than everyone else. It really stuck out to someone who didn’t grow up watching rugby league. Just on another level. You appreciate it when you’re watching greatness.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, every single legend of origin except maybe Lewis, got schooled hard by another legend. In 1987 Alfie langer debuts, has a blinder and 10 seconds from full time Peter sterling redirects play down the blindside and the blues go in for a match winning try. Game 1 1998 Andrew johns and Allan langer square off for the 1st time as opposing halfbacks. Alfie scores a try lays on another 2 has 1 forced drop out and generally dominates johns, Fittler and Daley. Game 2 2005 Andrew johns comes back from injury. Savagely and ruthlessly destroys Lockyer, smith, Thurston. The fact is every great got smacked and every great learned that an origin is 80 minutes, not 79:58 and they all learned that getting on top is hard, staying there requires a ruthlessness that few have ever shown.

Just so much towards Cameron Smith and Jonathan Thurston..... They did deliver utterly from the lessons when the Maroons got the better of the Blues in the coming years .... Great facts shared here...... Joey's a legend ❤

Respect of Legends 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Respect!! That's all ..... Joey is the greatest at reigns and as a Blues supporter that's how I see it. But these two Maroons legends are awesome and are looming immortals ...... JT voted by Channel Nine as the greatest,. Cam Smith just set another milestone as well. Having the trio is just amazing ..... Legends ....

In John’s era, he played with and against guys like King Wally Lewis, Ricky Stuart, Allan Langer, Geoff Toovy, Lorrie Daily, Brad Fitler, Nathan Brown, Brad Clyde, Steve Renough, Andrew Ettingshausen, Bret Mullins, Steve blocker Roach, Paul Sironen, Glen Lazarus , Wendle Sailor, Anthony Mundine, Lote Tuqiri when he played NRL (before Union) Sonnet Bill Williams (before he went to Union ) Cliff Lyons, Benny Elias, Rod Wishart, Steve and Kevin Walters, Darren Lockyer etc. Who did these 2 play against in their prime or at their peak ? I can think of a couple of players, but most would never have been able to compete with the list above.

That is true and No body will rule that out - Johns is the Goat.

I think there success over the next 12 years was more to do with their spine. Arguably the best, and possibly future immortals than johns

How unkind the faiths were that these greats did not come up against each other in their career…. Johns at his best against Thurston at his best would have been the ultimate peak of NRL…

The amount of ignorance in this comment section is astonishing. Anyone who goes on about that being just one game obviously saw nothing from the ten years before that. I don't like Johns either, but he was the best there ever was at that point and has only been passed by one or both of the blokes sitting next to him. You don't HAVE to like facts, but facts don't have to care about what you think either.

I personally have johns as the 3rd best halfback I ever saw only Allan Langer and Peter sterling ahead of him, and he’s well inside the top 5 players I ever saw. I have him behind langer and sterling as a halfback but I have him ahead of them as best ever based on the fact he’s top 3 dummy half’s I ever saw. So for me Greatest halfbacks is 1. Allan Langer 2. Peter Sterling. 3. Andrew Johns 4. Jonathan Thurston. 5. Stacey Jones. Greatest dummy half’s ever 1. Cameron smith 2. Benny Elias 3. Andrew Johns 4. Steve Walters 5. Danny Buderus. Greatest players I’ve seen 1. Darren lockyer 2. Andrew Johns 3. Wally Lewis 4. Allan Langer 5. Brad Fittler. I Have lockyer at 1st over all because he’s the 2nd best fullback I’ve seen and 2nd best 5/8.
