He was also picked after what 2 weeks after being out for 10? Im not getting the hate

Like I said people have a short memory and expect perfection every time

 

[franklin2323]

Crichton not being able to pass and Jimmy are more to blame

That works and everyone is saying good play from Cleary

 

[OldPanther]

He’s can be a very good 7 imo I just think he will cost us too much. We should offer him a deal for sure but if he gets bigger offers let him go. For the right price he is a very good halfback for us, put Luai next to him and I can see them leading to us to a lot of success over the next 5+ years.

The club is stacked with talent. Competition for spots at every position. Peachey struggles to make the 13 we have that many good players. We absolutely do not need to take a risk by giving a young half a huge deal. Offer him what he is worth to us right now, not what he could be worth in 5 years in a fairytale situation.

This.

I gave credit to that and want to see how he goes when he's rested this week and back at clubland which he's familiar with.

More so those Reddit comments. He out played Maloney in the 1st 2 games. Was very even v Dragons. So lets compare the 2 at the end of the year

His defense has improved as he got stronger, but his kicking game has disappeared. That's a significant problem for a half. He's touted as a running half, but doesn't have the pace for mine. I love his attitude and work ethic, but he lacks in too many areas to break the bank on.

He was the 4th fastest player on the field in Game 2 last. He got up to 33km/h.

You mean first 2 games of origin or our season? He definitely was better than Maloney for the club before getting injured.

Yeah those 2. The games v WT and Dragons it was probably even. Since then Origin has gotten in the way

I'm kind of glad origin is over so we can get consistent training again. I'm hoping Cleary does a 2016 Moylan and blows our minds after coming back from origin. That would shut down any talk.

There are only a few who are carrying on like that. I hope we keep both Nathan and Jerome.

That would be the ideal pairing for me going forward

Like I said it's a growing sentiment with fans in general. He needs to get a good rest this week and come out swinging for the remainder of the season to shut down any talk.

Me too.

No it isn't. Only a few are carrying on like that. I do agree he needs to be rested this week.

You don’t think he has the pace? Interesting.

When I’ve seen him get in the clear I thought he burned some other players. He’s scored a few tries just running it himself.

I don’t know, I’m seeing quite a few people expressing that view. Lots of non panthers fans too.

Outside of this Panther forum it definitely is becoming a thing. It makes me happy to see our fans back the team(damn good team it is) but this origin period has really not done Cleary a lot of favours as far as how he's seen as a halfback. Even Brad Fittler and Nathan himself said he was not where he should've been.

He's definitely quick.

You are taking this out of portion. With that I am out of this conversation.

How? Over time more and more people are questioning him as a half because of the rep period and how quiet he's been. Outside a few tackles Maloney/Cook/Tedesco did most of the work. I'm not saying it's the apocalypse or anything.

With that I am out of this conversation.

Of course.

 

[Panther_Daz]

He topped the statistics in running meters, but, yeah what ever.

We are using km's covered to justify a players performance now? Wow.
