General NSW Cup 2025

I would've thought that Doyle would be a better option on bench than Cleary if they're only carrying 2 forwards. With the line up as is, if Tuaupiki went down then Hanson would fill in at Fullback & he hasn't played there since 2022. Maybe they're not confident of one of Tuaupiki/Doyle covering the halves in the event of injury. As others have said, exposing Cleary to the environment is probably a factor

Cleary is a better player imo. Doyle is big average

Cleary has a higher ceiling but Doyle has done some clutch things for this side. So far, Cleary is 0/3 in match defining situations this season. With Cleary only covering the halves it's a risk if any outside back went down. Fatialofa would go to Centre & just 1 Interchange forward
