The team was determined today I'll give them that . But when your halfback is garbage and your hooker isn't much better add to that your marquee fullback runs like a crab and your supposed best forward backs into the line like a beaten up delivery truck and fails to deliver anything, plus having 61 missed tackles , the result was inevitable.
This teams puss !

Cleary is far less experienced yet is cool under pressure and assesses the situation far better. He is also constantly working the opposition over following and implementing the game plan to a tee. He gains smart field possesion and doesnt need a highlights reel for people to see his contributions and class….and his side scored double the points his rival's did, not including a few other disallowed tries.

Apart from the one he dropped and the one he let bounce..

Cool under pressure like his pushed pass that went to ground when he made a half bust ? Is that what you are talking about ?

Honestly I don't think Cleary outplayed Brooks at all, also made his fair share of errors and poor 5th tackle options, failed to really burn us with all the possession Penrith had on our line.
For all the running Penrith had, they really should not have been only 2 points ahead for 30 mins of the game.
Different for me was just crucial mistakes at key moments. Penrith made most of their mistakes down our end, including penalties, we made a large number of mistakes mid-field. We missed some key tackles that lead directly to tries.
We certainly do not build pressure or work the ball well on our 5th tackle options, but also we generally fail to get the ball down that end consistently enough to have multiple runs at it. Brooks was putting bombs up because we were having 5th tackle 30-40 metres out.
However the set where Dylan Edwards dropped the kick, that was awful, players going every which way and the wrong guys getting the ball on the wrong tackles. Brooks needed to step in there and take control, he can't continue to sit back.

Serious???? Maybe Jeff Robson gets a listing as well, or Farah could come back as the half. What about Jackson Hastings? I am not sure if there are more names before I hit the bottom of the barrell.

Brooks cops it way too harshly and Cleary gets way too much wraps. Was Cleary really a lot better than Brooks. I don't think so.
