League Targets

[Crashy]

he'd be a 10 for sure

Wallaby goal kicker?

BREAKING

Nathan Cleary linked with more Union rumours, where does he slot in the Wallabies side?

I think only way he could meaningfully add something to the Wallabies is if a French side splurge (Racing 92 is probably loosing 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.

Name wise he would be amazing for union tho, getting more big names in League switching codes (or just talking about union) is a win in my opinion.

Wallaby goal kicker?

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.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Hes kicked at around 84% for his career so he'd be fine.

I don't see it happening. He'd need to want it over the money talking as he can make as much if not more in the NRL than any Rugby offer. When you add third party deals he'd be making close to 2m. You also have to consider he plays under his Dad which is pretty cool regardless of age.

We love to say global game and be a star, but he's with Adidas right. He's a big get for Adidas in Australia and the Pacific with RL but not if he was playing Rugby and your'e trying to sell him globally as a Rugby player. You fall into the bottom of the bucket of Soccer and Basketball players. Then Rugby players are fairly low value in this region for brands. He's likely to take a hit in endorsements coming over.

I think with a full season he'd be as good as any 10 we currently have.

 

[Scrums'n Roses]

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.

 

[The Ruckening]

Here's an interesting one, Mitch Moses, Great playmaker quite agile. I reckon he would be a spectacular fit in union, not to mention his kicking ability.

Parramatta would never let him go, + other league clubs would froth over this bloke.

He's 30, ship has kinda sailed.

All those points are valid, just was having a ponder about it theoretically

Oh yeah dont get me wrong, he would be a stud in union. Really hope the Force and the Bears do some kinda shared player pool initiative. Don't think it is happening, but it would be cool.

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

You guys are talking about the wrong Crichton. The one we want is the 24yr old gun

 

[PhilClinton]

Cleary I feel is a potential genuine hired gun for the RWC.

His NRL legacy is sealed, can’t take those premierships off him.

If he goes off to rugby even for 12 months and makes the Wallabies a RWC contender, that’s a story no one else in the modern game could match.
