I think only way he could meaningfully add something to the Wallabies is if a French side splurge (Racing 92 is probably losing Farrell at the end of this season?) and he gets whipped into union shape in the 70+ games he would play in 2 seasons over there. He would also be closer to his partner Mary Fowler. There is absolutely zero chance he would get the place kicking, attacking field cover and defensive position in the handful of games he would get in Super Rugby. Rugby Australia also would need to wave the Giteau law. I just don't see it happening.BREAKING
Nathan Cleary linked with more Union rumours, where does he slot in the Wallabies side?
Firstly, I think it’s extremely unlikely he’s even considering it. However, his technique would struggle against the time pressure of the charge down. Very elongated and I can see him hooking everything like he did on Wednesday.Wallaby goal kicker?
And seemingly missed him saying “we won’t have to wait Toulon for that”.I can’t believe how much attention this is getting when all it was is a throwaway comment by Horan who has spouted a lot of BS over the years
He was good. Missed kicks skew the perception but he ran, passed and kicked well. The NRL is beating each other up this year. Panthers are 2 wins from 6th and you bet teams would be nervous if they sneak into the 8. They've just hit the tipping point of guys leaving this season. By mid next year all these young guys will have the runs in them and guess what, Penrith will be back in the top 4. 3 Rep standard players a year have left for 4 years. It's remarkable what they have built out there. Imagine taking Noah, Wright and Slipper from the Brums in 2023 then Hooper, AAA and Lonergan the next... It'd be over. Now double it.In my opinion he was pretty average for the blues on Wednesday, and Penrith are clearly struggling, this all leads to the likely chance he may pull the trigger on this move.
