Tom is one of those players like Rowdy Shearer was. He can play anywhere in the backline and make it look easy.
But at Manly his best position is fullback.

How strange watching Manly player score (twice) and the ref not go upstairs for............ um.......... reasons.

I was surprised to see Morgo appear as he was unsighted, along with their LHS in the first 20 mins 😎18-6 actually
Qld's only score was the penalty try. NSW forwards are dominating Qld's and neither DCE or Munster have had any decent chances.
Michael Morgan is NOT a centre.
Refs keeping QLD in it, should be 26-6 and dead and buried

It's like self inflicted bipolar here, swearing and cursing Tommy but any other day it's cheers from rafters!

The Queenslanders in the Tatts pub at Winton are VERY quiet at half time!!
Come on Blues you can do it!!

unless we could poach Teddy
Not gonna happen.
Look, if we could get another fullback who provides the same or more as Tom does then sure I wouldn't say no to him playing centre for Manly. But until then....no.
Rep footy is supposed to be the elite, class all the way across the park and as such you can afford to play Tom in the three quarters. But club football squads are dictated by the salary cap and we can't afford to also have the likes of Tedesco (not that I think he'll ever leave the Chooks).
Sterling has just said it right. Fittler has been smart enough to not keep Tom to just the right side. Like last year he's letting him roam and its giving Qld nightmares.

Radar showing rain should clear.
True but Cleary had everything to do with saving 2 Qld tries.
Welcome back Turbo and Maloney!

Halfbacks should not be there just defending unless their side doesn't have the ball. With the ball in hand Nathan Cleary has provided zero in 4 1/2 Origin games.

Not missing C Walker
Legal play apparently, even the commentary didn’t go near it ...
Qld don't seem to have the forward power to contend but if they can dominate possession they might still have a chance.
Tom is an absolute freak, what a player.
