Balanced News: ‘Different players’: Billy’s issue with bold Cleary claim

NRL legend Billy Slater has responded to Nathan Cleary’s claim of wanting to be the greatest of all time. Cleary, who is aiming to win his third premiership in a row, stated that Johnathan Thurston and Andrew Johns are the greatest but he wants that title for himself. Slater believes that Cleary has the potential to be one of the all-time greats but feels that he hasn’t reached the heights of players like Johns and Thurston yet. Cleary, at 25 years old, has already played in three NRL grand finals and is expected to lead the Panthers to another grand final and possible premiership.
