3 kids debut in a shitty NSW Cup side an we get a win. Impressive.

Hopefully we give Ciraldo a taste of NSW Cup also. Start getting the side to perform. Georgallis is an average coach.

Remember the uproar on Facebook after Gus sacked Elliott and picked Ivan over Georgallis? Haha

You'd have to think Ciraldo has earned a promotion to the NSW Cup gig for next year.

Check out the highlights from the 20s win. Cleary has great vision and a good passing/kicking game. May with a few absolute peach passes. Edwards also a class above. This looks like a training run in front of an empty Penny Park, particularly at the end with Cleary slotting them from all over.

You people seem to forget he is playing in Holden Cup not the NSW cup or the NRL... wake up to yourselves seriously

He played NSW cup yesterday dip-shit.

Ok great to see them slowly bringing him into the NRL as NSW cup is the closest thing to the NRL.. HC can't be compared to the NRL, I was disappointed at the Cleary bandwagon calling for his debut straight from HC which would most likely end in a disaster and he wouldnt be up to NRL standards.. but with that being said it is good to hear him playing NSW cup

Ha, way to back-pedal. Check your facts next time.
You're quite a contortionist aren't you?, the way you can put your foot in your mouth with your head up your arse.

Anyone know what his defence is like? He seems to have the poise, tiking, vision, running, passing and kicking game to handle an NRL game now. Whether he can hold his own in defence is something I don't know. With weak defenders on both edges it could be too much of a risk. Martin was one of the best defensive halves I've seen come through which made it easy to pick him.

That's an old thread you've resurrected.....anyway they've docked him 6 Dally M points for an off-field related suspension. Pretty rude if you ask me.
When did they do this? And would (the DT) had done this if Cleary had not been playing so well. To me, this is a red rag in front of a bull not only fire Cleary, but for the whole club and team. Another slice of Sydney centricism aimed at us.

Of course they would've docked him, regardless of form. Sorry, but are you suggesting the points were only taken from him because of his good form? That's a really strange position to take.

How so when it's mostly judges from the DT? Do you know the actual reasons behind the docking of points, and why didn't they mention this when Cleary resumed playing again? You have to take in consideration that this is right out of left field.

Do News still own the Dally M's? I thought the NRL took them over.

Its funny they didn't do it right at the start. Other players like Pangai had negative scores. He had -9. This suggests that making a player who has lost 3 or more weeks to suspension ineligible is a very recent change too. My feeling is they've just now decided that off-field suspensions should count like on-field ones, perhaps as a response to Nathan leading the count. That's what it looks like. They should come clean on this.

The way they've done it invites suspicion.
