Cleary has been shit at SOO time for him to step up or piss off.. He is being outplayed by Liua.

Teddy is also horrible in attack.
Cleary is a player who is happy to do a role for the team and let others shine even if it looks like he's not contributing. He's kicking well and helping control field position. But when we get into attacking positions the captain decides he needs to be the one scoring. He won't let anyone else shine.

NSW need a team where everyone is on the same page. Teddy is on a different page.

Only player who's gained more yardage with ball in hand for NSW is Brian To'o (121m to 108 m for Tedesco). No other NSW player has more than 72m (namely Turbo) whilst the best of the NSW forwards has 60m (namely Haas).
He’s a fullback of course he’s got metres. He’d be almost 200 if he didn’t f**ken squid sideways and get in the way

There's one player clearly holding NSW back. Sadly he's the captain.

He's getting in the way of everyone else playing their natural game. Edwards should have been fullback. But he wasn't picked. SO hook Teddy and throw Hynes at 1. We need players who aren't concerned about having the great stats... we need players who will let their teammates shine.

Teddy is a stats player just like Gal was.

The halfback has been just as bad. When mid way through the half the coach is saying we've been directionless in attack, that's not a good look for the halfback.

Who gives a f**k about FB meters honestly

Did Slater need 200m a game to make an impact?

Cleary could go down as the greatest and most decorated player of all time, I’m still gonna tell my grandkids he was Not That Guy. He’s aight, nice array of attributes without genuine X-factor, but he just….ain’t it.

So was Gus just saying if NSW had more ball than QLD they might have scored more points. QLD hardly had the ball in the last 20 minutes and stats show NSW had 57% of the ball.
