Playing a specialist half on the bench is suicide.

If your 'utility' can't defend at centre then they shouldn't be in the squad.

NSW lost two series due to horrible makeshift centre play.

Yeah, like how we lost games two and three this year with noted centre Connor Watson on the bench...

Watson can't play any position at NRL level let alone rep level.
I guess his suicidal stupid offload did break the game open......

Luai could cover centre or even back row given his size

Moses has now won three games in his career just shy of the age of thirty in which both teams are eliminated if they lose.

Absolutely clutch.

Cool.

What about game 3 2020, game 1 and game 2 2023.

Lost because the team couldn't handle a backline reshuffle.

There’s a place for Cleary.

14. Cleary (not Captain)
Yep. With Joey they made him hooker (2001?) because he was also probably the best hooker in the game as well as the best half. Cleary would be nearly useless anywhere except halfback. Remember that next time anyone tries to say Cleary is better than Joey.

Hahaha Nath was a hooker and a 5/8 coming through honey bun.

Joey had more talent but Nathan has already had a better career and he's only 26

We will unlikely ever get to see it, but Cleary has the tools to be a gun 9.

Between injuries and Luai going where careers go to die it’s not like to be an issue, but if it is then one of them will slot into 14. Cleary can play DH, slot in at lock, and Moses can cover FB and in a pinch centre or wing. We are the fearless f**k you better side now that we always should have been, we’ll pick all the talent and blow them away with it.

Who has more series wins?
Who has more man of the matches?
Comparing Cleary’s 14 games to Moses 4 games stats wise is redundant.

Although anyone with eyes would’ve seen that Moses’ game 2 performance was light years ahead of anything Cleary has done at Rep level.

Cleary is obviously a great club player but is incapable of taking the step up to Origin/Test level.
