            • I don't see any challenge in Cleary going to the chooks Frankie.....money would not be the issue, given his bank account the only challenge would be PNG and he can afford to fly Mary in and out, just as easily as him being visited in Sydney. Tax free is staggering but so would be the franchise opportunities in PNG.

              Flight into Moresby from Singapore would probably save 5 hours travel from Europe.

      • Agreed - Easts would have 2 /3 cards up their sleaves and there was talk of Cleary as per below when this came out, along his dad.

  • It's a shame if we lose him, but you don't win comps if you chase these types of players. 

  • Every game herbie is a cutting teams I don't see that with Best 

  • He's solid. The type of player you're happy to have in your top 19, but you're not winning big games with Samrani as your starting centre.

    • Yeah agreed. If we had that top rated game breaking centre then you could argue a case for a Samrani type reliable defensive centre, but we don't have that at the moment.

  • Cool if he stays, cool if he goes. He's not the kind of player you lose sleep over, he will likely play for multiple clubs before his career is over...a very typical journeyman player - versatile and thus good enough to be in the Top 30 squads, but not "shoot the lights out" good enough to be first pick in any spot.

    I'd ilke to keep him, but we definitely shouldn't get into a bidding war. If he can get better than fair market value elsewhere, then c'est la vie.

  • Samrani's versatility would be very handy as the Eels go into 2027 AGAIN short on depth in the outside backs. Hell we're even short on starters. 

    • Simple commonsense Daz, its unbelievable how lateral our thinking is on this site.......I always wondered who wrote on the toilet walls with their finger dipped in shit and the foresight they displayed when they had to wash their hands.

      Thank god I don't or very rarely use a public toilet these days, although my favourite fishing area (only through proximity) still has a "long drop"!!!!

      • lol Pops, that literally made me laugh. I needed that, ta.  😂
