johns was a lot better

Answer 3

Answer 4

wally lewis was the best and freddy was a very close second with johns back in third,and" moo-the-conk",please dont mentioned stirling in the same breath ,as he was not in the same class as lewis,fittler and johns.

Answer 5

joey

Answer 6

johns by a mile

Answer 7

Both were exceptional football talents but I'd have to give it to Johns (just).  He had the ability to turn a game on his own whereas Freddy was more of an inspirational player to the team mates around him.  Close call - but I'd go for Johns.

Answer 8

Ask the easy questions why don't you.  

There are degrees of greatness and quite frankly they are both talented.  They have both played in the forwards and backs.  Andrew Johns as both half back and hooker.  Brad Fittler as lock and first five eight.  If I had to choose I would go for Andrew Johns but only because he had a slight edge, he was a ball distributor and which is what those two positions entail.  Brad was in a similar position when playing first five eight.  Both handle responsibility and pressure.  Just two of the finest players who would grace any all time great list.

Answer 9

Fittler is a better player than Johns.

Johns had a great passing and kicking game, but not as good a running game as Fittler.  Both are great defenders.

Fittler is better than Johns.

But neither players were as good as Wally Lewis and Peter Sterling.

Answer 10

Very tuff question but an interesting one - they both played different positions which makes there style of play awesome - however I felt  that Brad not only could score he could tackle as well and I think jones tackling skills weren't as good - therefore my opinion was that Brad slightly in front of Jones.....

Answer 11

Andrew Johns was heaps better.

I never liked Fittler, though mainly because he was NSW captain.
