From the Mitch Moses-Nathan Cleary axis to how the inexperienced Maroons’ forwards perform, this year’s series throws up a number of questions
victory in the Brisbane decider last season has earned their many returning players favouritism in this year’s series, which kicks off on Wednesday at Suncorp Stadium.
Daley instead went with Parramatta halfback Moses to play No 6 alongside Cleary. Moses was brilliant at No 7 in last year’s series in the absence of Cleary, and has played five-eighth before. But after a foot injury earlier this year he has only played 320 minutes, and typically occupies the right side of the defensive line, the same position as Penrith’s halfback.Moses was asked on Monday how he will share the role of playmaker with Cleary.
The latter missed six weeks of football this season with a knee injury and is yet to play in a winning side for the Roosters in 2025. The former let his Storm teammates down with late indiscipline that cost them the Magic Round golden point clash against Horsburgh’s Canberra. Slater has also handed a debut to Titans backrower Beau Fermor, whose inclusion provides cover in the centres.
