He's a very very conservative man. This is why he sticks with the safe at the back rather than the flashy.Cleary deserves a minus score for the sheer blandness of his game plan, response to the game unfolding and his use of the bench, more specifically, his lack thereof.
- Fitness makes such a difference. Last year was absolutely ruined by our Pie Face regime. This year we have fewer errors, missed tackles and penalties, more line breaks, tackle breaks and bigger metres per set. It's the same group of players except for Tetevano and Capewell (who has played two games). We have a forward pack with great motors (Yeo, Tamou and JFH), they just need the right training. Even RCG has improved at the Eels with a different fitness regime;

Just a couple of things. Firstly, Round 4 will close on Friday at 12pm once again. And secondly, because the competition proper is only 20 rounds this year, only players best 17 ratings in the 20 rounds will be counted. If we make the finals, all ratings in the finals will count, and I'm thinking to add a loading to finals games to reflect their importance.
