He hasn't played well since 2016 so its a no for me. I think we would be doing Broncos a favour if we were to come to an agreement.

Let them stick it out, paying him top dollar for three years.

I think his deal with the Broncos is also back ended with a much larger chunk if he takes up the yr 4 option.
Still on good coin for yrs 1-3 but with a big uplift in yr 4 IIRC.

No, however if the price is right (low) and he has the understanding that he won’t be playing in Spine at all and will keep his mouth shut about it and any other crap, then I would bring him back. Only at centre or back row . Would help his cause to take some humility, personality and professionalism lessons from Lewis

Dogs would have to lose a lot of players to accomodate Jack.
They are already talking about losing Mbye just be get under next years cap and the Morris twins aren't signed on for next year which means they could lose all 3 and still not have coin to go to the player market.

I hear somewhere that Tigers might look at him for fullback. I can’t see Cleary being that stupid.

Hasn’t played a good game in nearly 18 months.

No way would I take him back.

Would be interesting to see how he went if he had a chance to play under master coach Flanno again.

His attitude stunk when he left and his last good game he had was probably the 2016 GF.

I would only take him if he shuts the hell up and plays the position he supposed to.

More importantly his ego won’t ever let him come back with his tail between his legs on a lot less $$$$..happy to move on thank him for his 2016 efforts, us winning the granny more than likely doubled his true worth so happy for other teams to throw big money at him and try to discover the 2016 form that may well never come back.

If the broncos pay a significant portion of his inflated contract for its duration I'll happily have him back. Aside from that it's a pass from me.

I might be remembering wrong, but didn't he play ok in the knock out final against Cowboys last year? He was back from injury and was maybe in his first trimester, but I think he had an alright game
