PRE-GAME Game 3 - NSW vs QLD

[Broncoman]

Yes that was 2007, very courageous effort from Johnson. He ended up making 28 tackles in that game and he made an Origin record 62 tackles in Game 2 that year, (his record was beaten by Farah in 2012). Really liked Dallas Johnson as a player, tough workaholic of a player.

Bellamy cracked it from memory.

Bellamy can **** off.

But yeah, from a safety view, knowing what we know now it sounds very careless to let him go back on. Johnson was the one player that played better concussed.

Johnson knocked himself unconcious in the first tackle, Tate's knee exploded while he was making a line-break, GI went down and Myles had to come off as well.

...and somewhere between that Kimmorley got injured but nobody really brings attention to that so...

It may just be me, but Carl Webb was a handy player in those early days. He played for the big moments and from 2005-07, he had a knack of coming up with them. It's largely been forgotten about, but for a time, he was considered as valuable to the Cowboys as Johnathan Thurston. If you said that now, people would look at you like you've been sniffing glue. However, in 2005 it certainly had plenty of merit.

Unfortunately people just remember him for years like 2008 and on where he was awful. There were so many Cowboys games where it was in the balance, and then big Charlie would come onto the field, hand the ball over and the other side would race in two quick tries.
