  Johns could turn a game in a millisecond and had great control. JT is the ultimate team controller but had less flare then Johns.
  
  Johns is my pic if i were to pick one

  Johns was better skilled and had greater vision.

  Thurston is the better competitor and doesn't give up. For this reason I'd take Thurston over Joey.

  Thurston, they both have great passing games, both have great kicking games, Thurston has a better running game, Johns was a better defender but Thurston always competes and does so at every level of the game from club games to origin to test matches.

  I personally think Johns was marginally better. Best halfback of all time.

    Its a very tough choice thats for sure.

    When faced with this question i can only try and think who'd come out on top playing against each other.

    Maybe Johns just but its almost a dead heat.

      They played against each other at club level 5 times with Thurston's side winning three of those matches to Johns' two.

      At representative level Johns won both their matches, Games 2 and 3 of the 2005 Origin series.

  Johns could do it all. Break the line, put big poppers on their bum, control the game, fire up his team and kick goals. Newcastle barely won a game when he wasnt playing. Credit though to Thurston for his toughness being such a small annoying f@&ker all those years playing for Qld

  Depends on how many and what drug Johns was on. Would have been as good as his Bro, but loaded up on drugs,
