Nathan Cleary on preparing for the new season outside the COVID bubble | mrchrisnico
As Storm players donned ski goggles and drank champagne beneath ANZ Stadium, Cleary was one of two Penrith players to face the press. He was asked repeatedly about a cut-out pass that was intercepted by Suliasi Vunivalu for a try. When he watched the replay on his own, Cleary winced.
Cleary then picked himself up to play a key role in Brad Fittler’s Origin team. But, again, it all went wrong as the Blues lost to a Queensland team labelled the worst in history. When it comes to knowing if the grand final loss – not to mention the Origin I and Origin III defeats – had scarred his son, no one would know better than Ivan.
At just 23, Nathan has already played 100 NRL games, but is another five years off his best, according to Ivan. Nathan might be one of the most polite and nice guys in rugby league, but he has also become one of the most polarising.Ivan has always conceded Nathan became fair game after Cleary snr’s messy departure from Wests Tigers. Nathan says his TikTok video did little to win over admirers.
