Face to Face Noel Crusher Cleal

Crusher Cleal sits down with Yvonne Sampson on Face to Face to talk bush footy - easily my favourite, watching the blues win the SOO back in 85 was a big deal, Noel has great win rate in rep footy also spent time at the mighty Parramatta Eels arguably the best period in Junior development. Even as Roosters and Manly legend, this man is an absolute legend. Enjoy

  • Did some solid recruitment for us then stole our best player and my favourite at the time the player the club was building around Jamie Lyon and that derailed us for a long time. 

    So Crusher can get stuffed

    • Crusher didn't steal Lyon, Lyon was already gone. He just took him in at Manly when he was there. Crusher done an amazing job in recruitment while he was at Parra.

      Make no mistake, Lyon leaving was Brian Smith's fault, and doesn't sit with anyone else.

    • That's the past, if he stays does that materialise into a title? No one knows 

    • Brian Smith was the sole person responsible for Lyon leaving. Cleal was still at Parramatta when he left. 

  • Didn't really rate him that much and what he did at Parra wasn't great. When I think of Eels greats I think of the Thornett bros,  Kenny, Sterling, Price, O'Reilly, Ella, Cronin etc..
