As a Storm fan, nothing beats the 3-peat!!! And the B2B Clive Churchill when CS9 couldn't even win 1 from his 8 grand finals. Thurston wouldn't even be in the conversation without Michael Morgan who was also the star behind cowboys 2017 dream run. Penrith is the greatest team in the modern era because of Cleary. The Chin of Doom reigns supreme!!!

I've been watching the game since '78, and I didn't think Id see someone as good as Wally at Rep Level or Sterlo at club level , but for me Johnathan Thurston is the best I ve seen. How many times he started a play, been tackled and still got off the deck and finished it off by scoring, was mind blowing.

To call Cleary the same level as Johns and Thurston is waaaay too premature. Johns and Thurston have achieved at higher levels than NRL (Origin and international, even though international league is kinda laughable) but they all had different team compositions and coaches. Cleary hasn't demonstrated that level of adaptability yet. What you mentioned at the end of the vid is very apt, can he rise up when he's not in the comfort of the Penrith system? He hasn't shown that much at all TBH.

I do think you can make a solid case that the Clive Churchill medals are worth as much as the Dally M award, interesting video mate. He’s definitely on track to be an immortal, especially considering he’s a halfback with a game that may only get better over the next few years. Barring injury he will be one of the best. It’s harsh because he’s a gun and he’s definitely stepped up in big games given his Clive Churchill medals. But I do think he needs a couple more legendary performances particularly at Origin level to be definitively the best. Johns is still the greatest halfback and my overall GOAT for now but the only current player who can get anywhere near that is Cleary. Although I will pay more attention to Turbo if he can stay fit and replicate some of his dominance at Origin and Club levels, some seasons from him rank among the best of all time.

He also had an underrated performance in the GF because he actually dug into the line. Even this week with Brad Schneider who struggled to crack back into RAIDERS looked sweet with that system against title contenders. That's the whole point. It's not saying Panthers are better without Cleary, it's the team can just be as good without him, whereas all those other players mentioned Smith, Thurston, Lockyer, Johns, their teams struggle when they're missing

No way, the only thing you need to know is that the knight and cowboys pretty much were unable to win games without Johns and Thurston. The panthers have repeatedly shown they can win without Cleary. Cleary also struggles in Origin and Kangaroos. Cleary also becomes a deer in headlights when there is kick pressure on him.
@daleviker5884 4 ай бұрын
If you were trying to pack as many stupid comments into one post as possible, congratulations. Eg "The cowboys were pretty much unable to win games without Thurston". Maybe go and have a look at the 2017 season, when the Cowboys lost Thurston mid-season then won the next four games in a row, and went on a charge that took them to three finals wins and a spot in the Grand Final. And your line that Cleary "struggles in the Kangaroos". He's play for australia 10 times and won all 10 including a world cup final. If you support another club and are too petty to acknowledge great players from other teams then just say so. Stop making things up trying to justify your pettiness.
@haddarac1 4 ай бұрын
@@daleviker5884 The cowboys struggled to put wins together without Thurston until Morgan came into his own. What did Cleary do in the World Cup?? He missed almost all of his conversions, he set up 1 maybe 2 tries and had the most errors in the squad. He himself said that he struggled. The kangaroos won off the back of other players in the squad. Cleary’ effort was negligible. I don’t doubt that he is a good player, but to insist that he is already a great when he has proven time and again that he struggles outside of the panthers structure is a slap in the face to other greats of the game.
@joeyjojo07 4 ай бұрын
Great video. Need to consider the super league war benefited Joey’s early legacy as News Limited players were not considered for selection in 95. 97 was also a split competition. Although I say this Joey’s 05 SOO performance for me elevated him into GOAT status. Sometimes it’s not always the stats and achievements, it’s how they did it. In saying that, Cleary’s book is still being written and he can get there!
@blakedickenson2394 4 ай бұрын
I have never understood the people “mainly Queenslanders” that say Cleary is “only good because he’s surrounded by a great team” One of the arguments people use against him in the “JT vs Cleary” argument, is that Cleary hasn’t dominated origin. Which is funny to me considering that the 8 straight QLD team that JT played in is quite possibly the greatest rugby league team ever fielded. I mean it literally had 4-5 immortals in one team. There has never been a sh*t team with an elite halfback that has won anything of significance.
@shinjonmusic 2 ай бұрын
I like the way you stayed fair throughout the analysis. Overall if you combine skills, achievements and individual performances the #1 halfback is Andrew John’s. Joey is the most skilled halfback being able to tackle, short pass and long pass, short kicks and long kicking kicks, along with bringing the banana kick. Combine that with his dominate performances in 2005 game 2, 2003 game 2 and 2002 game state of origin, Joey is the best.

@@tigerwarsaw99 Yeah I agree it’s a flawed system, however I can’t actually tell you a year which Cleary deserved the dallym. Partly because he has kept picking up these mid season injuries and partly because he hasn’t had a crazy full season individual campaign. Generally Cleary will only dominate a game if the games requires Cleary to dominate it. Thats just my opinion, and that doesn’t even discredit Cleary because you could absolutely argue we shouldn’t look to much into a player destroying shit teams then struggling against the elite teams (2021 turbo comes to mind although that wasn’t really his fault)

Johns won 1 1/2 because half the teams were playing in a different competition. Thurston was not even going to be in the 2004 Bulldogs squad but got a late bench spot when Steve Price was injured.

Curious question. Would a good comparison against Thurston and John be years since debut rather than age as I don't think they all joined the league at the same age. Also, do we know the Dally M point totals through to the same point in their career? At a club level that sometime feels like that can cover the "aura" level you described and the club impact relatively speaking.

His aura is lackluster because he only wins, alot, for a very small part of the NRL community. Cleary is a product of his environment and understands success comes from a team working in unison. Name an ex Panther excelling outside of their systems. Unfortunately in origin you have a group of individuals whom whole gameplans revolve around at a club level and carry that ego into camp. Clearys succes at Origin is largely determined by game and player management of which Fitler and co. failed. Given an opportunity to completley own a series or two of origin as commander and chief will cement his legacy.
