Second battle basically a union vs league preference battle. Eales easily the superior man for mine, wally was good and all, but Eales had a presence the world over, will always remember when he threatened to walk off the field vs the french who were eye-gouging and scrotum grabbing etc.

 

[Simon]

You said it exactly, pretty much Union vs League. Wally was dominant in the toughest arena of all (Origin). If Wally played in Johns' era then theres no way Joey would be thought of as highly as he is.
