[even more puzzled face] Isn't scoring points how the team wins? if I had to pick between 8 points a game and 4, for the team, I know where my vote goes... Are you seriously trying to sugget that AJ wasn't a good team player? Captain of the Knights for umpteen years, captain for the Blues, captain of the kangaroos at least once...

I would be only too honoured to have The Chief, Sterlo, Fatty, Daly, Wally and a host of such others in 'MY' circle.

Again, as good as Langer was, in rating him better than Johns, you are in a minority. Langer has no serious goal kicking to talk of, though his passes in front of the try line and kicks in play were magic. A bit like Joey really, except you add, in the tackling and try scoring... plus leadership... P

I think even pre school mathematicians can work out that 23 origin games is more than 2 origin series... Going back to re-state a view that has already been demonstrated to be flawed in premise, does nothing for your argument. P

No doubt an armchair critic knows more than any ex State of Origin player and successful coach.... > Clem > (Besides; I said "starred in" not "also played in....") Anyone who gets that many SO appearance is a star in my book, its the degree we are debating... Ad hominem gets you nowhere. P
