remember it like it was yesterday. Joey was phenomenal, he hadn't played much footy for so long and was selected as a last resort. I was there and I'll never forget seeing him put in such a stellar performance, he was in complete control.
People said after his 40/20 he dominated the game, but I think he dominated from the out. His long balls, his kicking game, his presence and the belief he gave his team. Unreal. The 8th.
Despite this match being one of Johns best ever many people forget that he did it against the best QLD line up such that had Lockyer, Slater, Thurston, Cam Smith as players considered as once in a life time players which makes Johns a much bigger champion
Slater didn´t play that badly. I never understood why they dropped him for game three. QLD ended up getting smashed with Matt Bowen at the back in game three.

Slater back then was like Walsh, givws you so many errors but still dangerous when an opportunity presents itself. Couldn't handle Johns bombs which were nothing by todays standards. To go from a gamw like to be considered the greatest fullback is impressive. Still remember him throwing the world cup against the kiwis though. Lol
@@stevennorris7181 must of missed the last few words in the rule mate haha "For a successful 40-20: the kicker must be behind his side's 40-metre line when he kicks the ball, the ball must first hit the ground within the field of play, the ball must then go over the sidelines of the field of play (into touch) past the opponent's 20-metre line."
Christopher Dale Qlds steak only started because Joey retired. Simple. If he would’ve played in 06 nsw would’ve won. Yes qld would have still be dominant after he retired but if he would’ve played he would’ve delayed their dominance
typical ockers calling johns the greatest, how long you been watching rugby league ffs, Johns was a top player, but greatest, ever, either side of the globe. Just no.
@@malife_dz2109 Yeah its you're losing fans and audience attendance every match. Soccer will be the new national sport and take over which is a good thing because soccer is a sport for everyone.
