A break, sure. Go to Cairns, Hamilton Island.

Oversees to a party hub in the third world country that’s currently being ravished with a disease (MCD), covid etc and poor medical services?

it is supreme stupidity and I’d be saying the exact same thing if it was a Parra player.
yes it seems rather odd

Nathan Cleary currently on a plane to Bali to have a break and recharge his batteries…

what a prima-Donna joke. Has anyone ever heard of players heading overseas mid-season for a break?

Hope he gets Foot in Mouth and gives it to the whole squad and they have to forfeit games due to stupidity
He had foot on mouth disease last night. He’s nothing more than a Jeff Robson mark II.

Yes, it's the tackling game none of the have an idea about....
And even the ones who can tackle, and there’s quite a few, are making most of their attempts by themselves. There’s rarely numbers in the tackle and so most play-the-balls are quick. The defence is always on the back foot.

Jeff Robson, from Barellan, played 176 NRL games. over 13 seasons..not a bad effort in a tough sport. Good bloke with it...played a couple of games with Barellan in the Proten Community Cup competition in 2021....A bloke prepared to 'put back' into the game..Should be more blokes like Jeff.

How many try assists in Origin does Nathan Cleary have?

Its a bit silly to blame Nathan. The forward pack was soft and our 2-5 very average. Too is great at club level but against the strongest and fastest men he just looks average.
Crightons a good player but isn't an origin level player. Burton's a gun but has defensive issues and not a centre. Toupo is solid.

Who in NSW side do you see as superstar?

I'd say Teddy, Nathan, Haas, Turbo, Latrell 3 /5 missing. Every other player in that side is plug and play and could be replaced with plenty of others who would do as good a job. Is Martin better then LANE for example? In attack Lanes leaves him for dead. Martins a prop playing 2nd row.
Mattersons for more skilfull then Jake T. And one guy who is just built for origin due to his toughness is Wighton. And in game 1 he was awesome. Yet not picked.

Nathans forms down, but in game 2 was awesome when others stood up. He also was great the 1st half last night. After that NSW couldn't get going.

I agree mate, he should be proud of his career. He got everything out of himself.

Love seeing the difference between eels fans with some self respect and dignity, and the rest of you dumb merkins that are supporting him, and think he is entitled to renege on his contract as lo

So why isn’t he improving or coached to improve his/our game?

I think he’s just told to pass and not encourage to engage the markers.

also, how many times has gutho pushed him out of the way, for a scoot.

I doubt that especially with Ennis on the coaching panel.

I doubt BA is coming out and saying never run or engage markers. When Rein played he was taking lots of darts as was Lussick last season.
I don't think it's in his game.
Rein needs a recall he's a classy player and Mahoney is flat out playing 80

That’s the other thing some aren’t considering. Rheed needs to play 80 minutes of tough footy in the middle. Does he have the stamina to bring a running game and last the entire match. Not sure grant could do that.
