Is Cleary a dud?

If he stays FB he will. Problem is a few injuries they move him. That is what Ivan did well in 2014 just let him stay

Depending on the team he can suit 6. He would have suited us pre-Luai, Sharks when they have injuries, any team with a really dominant 7.

like Ponga. Why though. Has a great affect back there why make them do extra defence if they don't need too

Yeah his only flaws as a fullback are defence, consistency contesting kicks, kick returns and he's slow for a fullback.

His kick returns were not a problem. People said he was soft for not returning the ball like Dallin does, it’s smart not soft. When a small fb like Moyza or even Edwards runs straight and hard at a good kick chase they are getting picked up and driven back 100 percernt. The momentum from the hard run will rarely break through a good kick chase it just makes it easier for the defence to hold a little guy up and then drive them back.

Actually a solid defender in the line
I agree.

I think he's a better 6 as he can do the same job without as many flaws being exposed.

He is a better 1 and 6 than what we currently have though. He absolutely destroyed Jimmy last year... and this year our fullbacks have peaked at being average. But mostly been poor to absolutely terrible.
