Origin: Who is the best halfback to have played at Origin level?

[Chaos]

It's a great question for a Queenslander to ask as we all know Johns hasn't dominated at State Of Origin level.

Queensland has had some suprising wins against some red hot NSW's outfits and at times were huge underdogs but they did have a crafty little half back named Allan Langer.

Langer gets my vote.

Did you just say Johns hasnt dominated at SOO level??

HUH?

[The Original Idiot]

I hope Chaos watched game 3 last year. That was Johns' game by a country mile.

[Eel 33]

Out of those choices, i've only ever seen Langer, Lam, Stuart and Johns at work. Johns has played in a few positions in origin whereas the rest have solely played halfback.
Langer wins by a nose hair from Johns, Stuart then Lam.

[shavenjas]

A Langer all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was that the game Anthony Minichello won man of the match?

John's did play well in that game but he hasn't played as good as that during his whole State Of Origin career, he is at his peak.

[Coaster]

Correct Johns is at his peak now.

And the reason he looks so good is becuase of the salary cap. FFS most NRL teams consist of kids.
Look at the Jason Smith, do you think he is really that good of a footballer that he can dominate in todays game?

He has something the other players dont have, experience, and becuase most of the NRL have barely any, he shines.

When he had to play hardened pros, he couldnt even get into the side, or they would push him to hooker.

He had a great series last year, but before that nothing!!!

Langer came back as an old man from England for the first :ok: of Filters last games, and made Johns look like a goose.

Im not a fan sorry

[Kallan]

I went langer.

Interesting...

Allan Langer did ruin the first of Fittler's last games for NSW though he did not make Johns look like a goose in that game - Johns wasn't playing. Brett Kimmorley was the then NSW halfback.

[Townsville Titan]

Cant go past Johns surely. Yeah, the others were exceptional players but Johnsy is the sole reason for NSW's success last year and on many other occasions.

Other than that, this year it will be Gower when NSW beats QLD.

[~Wild Child~]

Alan Langer..Legend..

[Townsville Titan]

Peter Sterling would be my second choice... he was magic...
