I love the NSW media and past player sentiment that NSW ‘don’t need Cleary’ for Game 3.
Like it isn’t going to be an arm wrestle and a completely different, more hostile game, and NSW aren’t going to be sitting there tied with 10 to go after 70 minutes of brutal combat wishing ‘gee, maybe it would be handy to have the best 7 in the comp out on the field right now.’
Moses was great in Game 2.
But you think Cleary wouldn’t have had a field day playing behind a side dominating like that?
Just pick the best player available.
