I blame the club for this, just have the guts to tell nsw and Mitch it's not happening till he gets his body right. Now they suffer
We already struggle to sign quality players. Definitely not going to attract decent players if we start restricting them from playing rep games.
He's played maybe 8 games in 2 years for us, I think they are within their rights to sit him and down and protect him a little. Lomax is no issue he can play every origin
How freaking greedy are these pricks?
$1.3 Mil not enough to 'set yourself up' for life?

Manly said nothing when Turbo kept getting Origin injuries. I bet they wished they had said something now.
Injuries happen but it seems Mitch sits out Eels games but is good to go when selectors come calling.
Personally, I don't understand how Origin can continue to dominate the NRL clubs as they do. Winning a comp is everything. It's what the NRL is all about. Yet clubs risk their title chances enormously by having their best players playing Origin during the season. When you think about it, it makes no sense at all.
They had been managing his calf issue at the club but NSW didn't and the injury was the result. Went from 80 mins in dogs game to training for nsw a day later. What did they expect to happen
Club first they paying big Dollars
if Cleary was hurt and they desperately need Mitch I'd understand rushing him in, but they have so many options at 5/8 they could use it's just silly.
Not silly when playing the best available. Thats what they did choose the best.
