Its a team sports champ ..Hello??lol Clueless blog

Cleary will be an immortal, he has accomplished everything, he may not have the natural ball playing skills like Sterlo, Kenny, Thurston's And Johns etc but his the ultimate professional and ahead of Andrew Johns at the same stage of his career- Brett Kenny shits all the players ive mentioned and still no proper recognition, he out played Wally's regularly but people want to heap praise on Wally's Lewis, Johns , freedy aka space cadet ...lol the NRL is about politics.. and what have you accomplished lately?? NOT MUCH.

  Cleary will defintely be an immortal if he remains on this tracjectory.
  
  In terms of it being a 'team sport', I agree. However, Cleary was honestly terrible last night. He provided little to none in attack, and some of the passes he was throwing were very uncharacteristic.

    It was 20 nil at half time that's game over.

A couple of clear things came from that game;
1. Cleary is not Origin elite and shouldn't be in any conversations of the all-time greats if he can't win a series.
2. Daley can't coach, he doesn't get another chance after that. They had no game plan and were running one outs like under 9's.
3. NSW lacked speed across the park in that game. We have the power, but couldn't get through them.
4. The Panthers hogs of Edwards, Yeo, and Cleary were attacking handbrakes all game. At Least Luai had some creative moments.

The whole team was extremely poor. Daley isn't an Origin coach

Main thing I see with Cleary is he's so robotic and structured. QLD defence eats that up. Moses plays a bit more eyes up and what's in front of him

Which Panthers players will back up?

  I think Edwards & Yeo will back up.
  
  Cleary & To'o have both been under injury clouds, and Cleary looks like a week off would do him good.
  
  Martin picked up a hand injury in the first half, and came off prior to full time (not sure if hand injury was the reason). However, depending on how severe he may be rested also.

I was hoping Cleary & Luai would smash it, and we wouldn't have to see Moses play origin next year. However, it looks like he will be the first name of the teamsheet next season.
