🔥💣 “Cleary? Not Even Close!” – Aussie Legend Mat Rogers Stuns Fans, Crowns Mitch Moses the ‘Real Kangaroos No.7’ 🏆🇦🇺
Sydney, Australia – In a stunning revelation shaking up the rugby league world, Australian dual-code legend Mat Rogers has officially declared that Mitch Moses deserves to be the Kangaroos’ first-choice halfback over Nathan Cleary — igniting fierce debate across the NRL community.
Rogers, a former Wallaby and Kangaroo, is no stranger to controversy or elite-level insight. Speaking candidly during a recent sports podcast, the 48-year-old pulled no punches when asked who should wear the iconic No.7 jersey for Australia.
“Right now, Moses is the better No.7 for the Kangaroos. He controls the game, he’s composed, and he delivers under pressure. Cleary is world-class, but Moses has that spark — that X-factor — Australia needs in tight games,” Rogers said confidently.
The comment instantly went viral, sending shockwaves through social media platforms as fans divided into two camps — Team Moses and Team Cleary. Within minutes, “Mat Rogers” and “Moses vs Cleary” began trending across X (formerly Twitter), with passionate fans flooding the threads.
💥 Moses’ Rise to the Top
Since returning from injury, Mitch Moses has been in scintillating form for the Parramatta Eels, orchestrating wins with his trademark vision and kicking game. His recent performances have reignited talk that the 30-year-old deserves another shot at international duties — especially given his calm leadership and ability to elevate his teammates.
Rogers praised that very trait, highlighting how Moses “reads defensive lines two plays ahead” and “takes control in the clutch moments.”
“He’s evolved massively in the last two years. Moses doesn’t just guide — he commands. That’s what separates the good from the great,” Rogers added.
⚡ Cleary’s Legacy Still Strong
Of course, Nathan Cleary remains a modern-day superstar. The Penrith Panthers maestro has led his club to multiple NRL Premierships and cemented himself as one of the most composed playmakers of the era. Yet, with injuries and limited recent appearances for Australia, even some pundits have started questioning whether the Kangaroos jersey should automatically belong to him.
Rogers, however, insists it’s not about replacing Cleary but rewarding form and flair:
“Nathan’s an incredible player — he’ll go down as one of the best. But if I were picking a Kangaroos side tomorrow, Moses would get the nod. He’s earned it.”
🏉 Fans React: “Mat Rogers Just Said What We’re All Thinking!”
Fan reactions have been explosive. Some hailed Rogers as “brave enough to speak the truth,” while others slammed the claim as “pure disrespect” to Cleary’s achievements.
One fan wrote:
“Finally, someone said it. Moses has been unstoppable lately. Cleary’s great, but Moses is the man right now.”
Another countered:
“Mat Rogers must be watching a different game. Cleary is the GOAT of modern halves.”
🔥 The Debate That Won’t Die
With international selections looming, Rogers’ words could not have come at a more dramatic moment. Whether Mal Meninga sticks with the proven Cleary or hands Moses the reins, one thing is certain — the battle for the Kangaroos No.7 has just turned red-hot.
