Not by a long way. I was on that bandwagon for a long time because I hate the Clearys, but Cleary did everything tonight, from controlling the attack, to important momentum changing tackles to a perfect kicking game. Incredible watching such a dominant kicking game. Luai is good, and played a sort of early Benji role, but this game was all Cleary's.
Caught on tackle 5 on 5 occasions and Once on tackle 6 that was a turnover...
Penrith had a bazillion tackles in the Slimey's 20..ran away at the end...
Kicked the 40/20 and for Martin's TRY..
Luai created Penrith's 1st TRY and scored a solo one..
Brandy just said his kicking game was off..
I'd just add to my other comment that Cleary was better because he controlled the momentum of the play. He put Penrith in every position, he controlled the game, that's his role. To say Luai is the better player tonight because he setup two tries to one is like giving a winger the man of the match. And sure, sometimes Nofo can earn that, but Luai's play doesn't happen without Cleary contolling EVERYTHING, so it's just no comparison between the two of them tonight. Maybe Luai can play that way too, but that's not what he was doing tonight.
If he’s that good why does he go missing in Origin ?
Luai gives him the time to play just like Maloney did before .
I'm not defending Cleary anymore because I hate him too! You guys rip in, but I know which half I'd take.
He's class. And he keeps slimey away from a blues jersey.
