New Best player in the game??

According to NRL journalist Buzz Rothfield Keary an Cleary are the best players in the world, overtaking James Tedesco.

 

Personally, I believe Nathan Cleary is probably playing the best footy out of everyone, but it doesnt mean he is the best player in the world. To hold this accolade you have to be performing above everyone for a couple years not just 14 games. Secondly, Cleary hasnt proved himself yet in any finals series. While he played origin, he just did his job in those games rather than be a key player. In my opinion Cameron Smith is still the best player in the game as much as I hate him. They way he manages his fowards close to the try line and than play second receiver is incredible.  Followed by him are Cameron Munster and Tom Trobjevic (when fit) and than Keary and Tedesco. I believe Munster does everything Keary can do, but has more x-factor in his running game. Not taking anything away from Keary as well, the players around him make him look better than he truely is (still one of the best players in the game IMO though). From Trobjecvic and Tedesco, I believe Tedesco has a better tackle breaking ability however Trobjevic passing game, aerial ability and try saving tackles are superior than Tedesco.

  • Cameron Smith

    end of story

    not that I'm happy about that

  • Right now - Nathan Cleary is the best player in the NRL. 

    Next would be Keary, Smith and Weighton (in no particular order).

    But form is a fluid thing. Who knows whether he will still be the best player in 4 weeks or so.

      • The Dally M board is misleading in the case of Cleary. He has been docked 6 points.

        I don't think my comments are premature. He has hands down been the Panthers best and they have won their last 8 games, beating Melbourne, Raiders, Bunnies, Tigers, Sharks and Manly in convincing fashion. 

        I also prefaced my comments with "right now" and ended with the rider "form is fluid"...not much more you can do than use appropriate words to convey precisely what you intend. 

  • Old beetroot cheeks wouldn't know shit from rotten rope. Tedesco and Munster are the pick of the bunch.

  • Could  Queensland even assemble a quality side this year?  NSW may need to lend them some players to stay competitive. Otherwise they need to call it off. I keep saying I like my footy fair. Just a suggestion. 

    • I don't remember QLD giving us those sorts of reprieve when they won 8 series in a row! Mind you, there are plenty of QLD players in teams that are doing well. In fact Melbourne are basically a QLD team anyway.

      • Exactly, besides, 1995 wasn’t “fair” either and looked what happened ?

    • 1) Ponga

      2) Coates 

      3) Gagai

      4) Morgan 

      5) Holmes

      6) Munster

      7) DCE

      8) Papalii 

      9) Friend 

      10) Arrow

      11) Fifita 

      12) Kaufusi 

      13) Welch

      14) Hess

      15) Ofhengaue

      16) Flegler

      17) Carrigan

      Injuries will kill them, they have bugged all depth. Kevvie might be served by blooding some young talent did the future, he ain’t gonna win with that team.
