Nathan Cleary’s Masterclass
<p><strong>He was at his lowest ebb - then he delivered perfection.</strong></p> <p>Welcome to Season 5 of Stories of Origin. as we sit down with the true icons of the game to explore the single Origin match that defined their legacy.</p> <p>We are kicking off this series with a bang. Rugby league’s greatest player, Nathan Cleary, joins us to dissect his favourite Origin game: his absolute masterclass in game two of the 2022 series in Perth.</p> <p>It was a performance that silenced the critics and showcased the resilience required to thrive at this level. Nathan takes us inside the intense pressure of that series, revealing how he channelled the disappointment of a 16-10 home loss in game one - against a Queensland side inspired by the champion Cameron Munster, to orchestrate the defining high point of his Origin career.</p> <p>It’s an intimate, tactical, and honest look at what it takes to own the toughest arena in rugby league.</p> <p><strong>Proudly brought to you by TAB.</strong></p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
