I disagree. You don't expect that.

That 20 minutes is not/was not expected from anyone. He could very well go down as the greatest footballer of all time (He's only 26) and despite the fact that he's being spoken about at that level... his last 20 minutes was still unbelievable!

where I am coming from is that a $1m+ player needs to be able to do something extraordinary to “win” games.
He has played some good finals games but I’d like him to take that next step.

The following players have been able to produce “special” performances (Origin and Finals series) to win games for their teams off their own backs

Cleary
Munster
Mitchell
DCE
Ponga
Tommy T

Whilst Nicho has had some good games, we need him to show he can produce “win off his own back” like the above can and have produced

Has to be kicking from the right hand side of the field next year.

It’s just too easy for the markers to put pressure on a right footed kicker , who is positioned on the left .

Just about all dominant halves play on the right side ..

Drives me crazy! Both our kickers are right footed and we kick down that left short side too often.

Back to reality for him tonight, never looked dangerous with ball in hand
Kicking game was great though. Gave some good early ball to Nikora for Katoas try, but I think he choked his outside men a bit tonight. More a reflection of the fantastic defence rather than his ability.

If he can learn to straighten up and go deep into the line he'd be the perfect halfback. Until he adds this into his game I think he'll be in that kicking 6 role.

Some of Cleary's deep runs scared me and I wasn't running the ball. He goes so fast and hard into the line then provides a perfect pass before context. Beautiful to watch.

It’s impossible not to admire Cleary, we are witnessing greatness. The guy is incredible

Likewise with Hynes, couldn’t do much without go forward. Kicked well but the team had to many errors
