Yes that competition strengthens our squad. Nobody can be guaranteed an injury and suspension free season from one to the next so having the 9s be well stocked is important as a top notch 9 improves a team in very tangible and measurable ways

Can't get an inside or sideways scoop.
sorry pocket post
We're not going to see Cleary in FG in 2026!

I would'nt count it out if he gets a trial & impresses..who knows ?
This just shows how much burden the weight of his name holds imho. Idiot Australian broadcasters have him locked in the starting 13 next year and people here are elevating him way past his station. We just need to give him the chance to grow, and he'll need at least another year of that. Linnane, Metcalf, CHT, TMM, Boyd and I genuinely think they'd play CNK/Egan/Tuaupiki or get a loan in if we had the injury crisis of all time in the halfs.
Sometimes the best place to develop is in the hardest situation. I'm not saying he's our best. But that if he got a shot at first grade and was not judged on a small sample size he may actually develop through hurt failure and pain in first grade to be HIS best. It's a long shot

Coach offers explanation as Cleary family forced into 'unfortunate' situation
It's created a double dose of heartbreak for the Cleary clan. Read more here.
He’s certainly impressed them the way he’s come into nsw cup and we’ve still largely picked up wins. Think it’s an interesting decision to carry him on the bench in the nsw cup final, almost like they want to expose him to a big game
