After admitting to being far below his best earlier in the game, Cleary, 25, was instrumental in producing an 18-point comeback that stunned the Broncos.
With it, Cleary and the Panthers completed a third consecutive premiership, and speculation about his place among the all-time great halfbacks and eligibility for immortality began.
It’s interesting to note that Andrew Johns, the most recent Immortal to be named, is the only halfback who has dedicated his life to the game.
Discussions about the greatest No. 7 in the history of the game have brought up the names of Johns, Peter Sterling, Ricky Stuart, Jonathan Thurston, and Allan Langer.
Lockyer was devastated by the Brisbane team’s loss at Accor Stadium. Lockyer played his entire 355-game club career with the Broncos.
