Nathan Cleary becomes youngest player to score 200 points in a season, Raiders’ finals hopes dashed

[Life's Good]

Ha ha. He is signed up to the end of 2019 anyway.
I think they may be a little extension done in the off season.

Is that to do with Matt Moylan's hands??

Please let this be true.

It's going to be hilarious next year when Moylan finds himself stuck behind yet another overhyped halfback with a famous father when the origin squads are announced

Cleary could have both legs amputated and he would still be a better Origin 7 than Mythchell

Nonsense.

How are you supposed to take a last tackle hit up with 7 men outside of you if you don't have any legs?

It's ok. Cleary/Moylan can play 6 and 7.

It's ok. Cleary/Moylan can play 6 and 7.

I reckon they'll want an origin veteran to ease Cleary in.

Maloney is a definite option in that regard..... although if they really want to get some experience in the halves it will be Cleary in 7 and Pearce in 6.............

Experience at being a failure that is.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Seeing Cleary's name next to Piss is sickening.

Pearce in the team at all guarantees a loss. Cleary would gain more from waiting another year.

who better to learn from than the most capped halfback in NSW history?

 

[moffla]

The whole "Not ready for origin" is a myth.
Throw him in there, give him time to settle in - That's how good players become great

 

[Tommy Smith]

What I like about Cleary is that he does all the basics really well - tackles well, good kicking game, takes on the line, backs up. And he has Cam Smith like coolness.

He's yet to show any Thurston like ball playing genius, but he's only 19 and has plenty of time to take that next step.

But even if he doesn't take that next step into Thurston class he still looks like he'll at least be a Cronk clone level of halfback.

If Daley is still coach and Jughead Hayne is in the team I wouldn't want Cleary anywhere near that side.

 

[SBD82]

If Daley is still coach and Jughead Hayne is in the team I wouldn't want Cleary anywhere near that side.

I'd be willing to make that sacrifice.

 

[Clifferd]

If NSW are serious next year they'd get rid of flogs like Pearce, Hayne, Fergo and Dugs but we all know they'll be first picked

 

[Das Gupta]

I'd be willing to make that sacrifice.

I wouldn't. Hayne is toxic.

 

[SBD82]

I wouldn't. Hayne is toxic.

Oh. I mean sacrifice Daley and Hayne for Cleary.

 

[POPEYE]

Please let this be true.

I said the same thing many weeks ago . . . but he wasn't ready for a season or two then

I do strongly believe he could reach Cronk's class but Thurston's class not so much.
