Cleary is a great club half back but in my mind where Moses is superior is that Moses performs better in chaos and plays what’s in front of him a lot more. Cleary is so methodical and abit of a perfectionist in many regards that he’s struggling to adapt to what’s happening around him both in regards to Qld’s line speed and the general execution.
Compare how Cleary is playing to Munster and it’s literally night and day, Munster is keeping the defence guessing, playing what’s in front of him and being an absolute menace out there. Cleary is going through the motions and not executing
To be fair, Munster has more shockers in big games than almost any top-level half in History. Great player when on but chokes hugely and often at Origin and in GF's.

This is pretty true actually. Moses doesn't have the grit Cleary has but he will step around kick pressure on the lats and try and take a short side, or kick for himself or a short chase and shit like that. It doesn't always come off but it does keep a defence guessing

He also runs a lot more than Cleary
