I’ve gained some respect for Mal only bloke who calls it like it is and doesn’t suck up to Cleary

he knows the media are gonna be all over him and pushing for him to get sacked since he didn’t select the golden boy at halfback

He is the golden daddy to you

 

[Iamback]

Surely not. Even the space cadet plays Murray at Second Row and Yeo at Lock in Origin.
I'd be going 11 Crichton, 12 Murray, 13 Yeo, with Martin at 17 to play edge or middle depending on needs.

That should of been NSW's backrow

Do you really enjoy looking silly? You must. Even Cooper Cronk believes that Cleary is a better player than DCE

They say birds of a feather flock together and we know you're a wanker. No wonder you like Mal.

Such a QLD thing to do, picking DCE as well as Cleary. Do we expect a full strength team to include DCE on the bench as well as Hunt/ Grant??

Looks like no Hunt. DCE from the bench with Grant starting.

Hunt will slide on for the last 2 games

Then Australia will have 20 point wins

How did that go for you? Wrong again.

Once again we win, you lose.

Poor effort - 2/10 at best (and that's me being generous)

2/10, still better than Moses in the GF

Cleary not having a great game.

Poor in play kicking and goal kicking very off.

The bug during the week could be impacting his power.

 

[Munky]

Martin having a great game.

Really improved following the Souths match in the final rounds of the season.

Cleary with his boot was just off altogether. Being crook probably stopped him putting in his extras all week and probably drained his energy a bit. He didn't put up a single towering bomb. His goal kicking didn't have any strength behind his kicks. Flat out making the distance which is unheard of from him. Between kicks not making the distance and not a single towering bomb... I'd say he just didnt have his full strength to kick like normal.

But aside from his kicks he looked ok. Tackled well. Ran well. Passed well. Good decisions making. He seemed to be starting to form a combination with Grant. But when the opposition are so weak you can't really tell how well those things truly are. At 50% an NRL player will look good against opposition like that.

Martin was a beast and Yeo probably had the most touches of anyone aside from Grant. Involved in everything. Yeo is going to be impossible to move out of rep teams for years to come with how important his touches have become. NSW and Australia now value having a bloke who can pump out 150 metres through the middle aswell as open up the attack by creating space for his halves and hitting forwards with short balls to steal metres.

Martin has been terrific this world cup too. The opposition aren't really good to judge his form against. But comparing his output to his teammates he looks to tackle harder, his runs and effort have the same venom as them and Mal must have seen something to have him starting ahead of Murray which not even us biased Panthers fans would have done to be honest. I wasn't even sure he would be in the team with Nanai also fighting for a spot.

The finals series has put to bed any debate about resting players.

The boys were just Terminators for eighty minutes all series and it has really benefited Martin especially.

Gotta laugh at the new excuse “ the ball as too heavy for Cleary”
