Mary Fowler detail behind bombshell Nathan Cleary exit claim
Nathan Cleary has been increasingly linked with a Panthers exit in recent months, with rumours from an English Super League move to a rugby defection floated. But according to veteran NRL pundit Andrew Voss, the halfback's next move will almost certainly be for love, following Matildas superstar Mary Fowler to the UK where she plays for powerhouse football club Manchester City.

Cleary is contracted to the Panthers until the end of 2027 but Voss believes the time is now for the star halfback to capitalise on the pull of his surname and make the move to the northern hemisphere. 'I'll get a little romantic,' Voss said to his co-host on SEN 1170 Breakfast on Tuesday. 'There is no doubt the young man is in love and his love is on the other side of the world and his love is never coming back to Australia for her sporting career because she can't. 'Nathan has won four premierships, Origin, he's a Test player, World Cup; he has achieved all the things you want to do in a career and I'm saying love might win out here. 'I'm not saying playing union but I can see Cleary playing in the northern hemisphere. 'It's obvious they're in love and how long can that relationship be on the other side of the world when there is a solution?' However, there are two major barriers stopping that move. Firstly Cleary still has two years to run on his Panthers deal after the current season. But much like Penrith's decision to let James Fisher-Harris break his contract for family reasons at the end of last year, it would be a possibility the club would grant his wish to leave especially if it was to follow his heart abroad instead of playing for a rival NRL team or code hopping. The second problem is trickier, and that is the issue that Super League players don't earn anywhere near the money of NRL stars. But as rumours circulate that NRL Europe could soon be a reality, Voss believes Cleary could be playing in England come next year. 'If NRL Europe comes into being and I think it will be announced later in the year with grandiose plans,' he said. 'Teams in London and France, they will pick how they want the comp to look. 'I don't know where the money comes from but I think a London marquee signing of Cleary at some stage makes sense. 'Nathan Cleary ticks a massive box, that gives them the headline they want, they become an A-list couple, I'm talking massive picture here.' Voss' comments come after earlier this year former NRL hardman Mark Carroll urged the halfback to follow his heart. 'The great thing about Cleary is he can have his cake and eat it, too. He doesn't have to quit rugby league to be with the love of his life,' Carroll wrote in his weekly column for The Nightly. 'Cleary's won four premierships with Penrith, landed two Clive Churchill medals and played in three winning State of Origin series with NSW. He's represented Australia in five Tests, helping the Kangaroos to a World Cup victory in 2021. 'He will be part of the revived Kangaroo tour at the end of the year, providing he is fit. At 27, the half-back's legacy in the game is ensured. There's not much more for him to prove. 'I'm sure he and Mary have discussed a move and I hope he does take the leap. It would not only be a great love story, but Cleary's move into uncharted rugby league waters would also capture the hearts of fans in two countries.'

Two plays that show this Raider can answer Origin SOS
Corey Horsburgh is ready to answer Queensland's call and his last fortnight's work for the high-flying Canberra Raiders proves he has the Origin traits and habits Billy Slater demands. Maroons coach Slater conceded Horsburgh was stiff to miss out on selection for the opening game of the series where Queensland were manhandled by NSW in a 18-6 defeat in Brisbane. Needing to save the series, Slater is preparing to name his team for game two in Perth on June 18. Horsburgh will be out to make an impression in his final audition on Sunday when the Raiders host South Sydney. But over the last two weeks, the prop has already shown the traits Slater is looking for to help the Green Machine rise to second on the NRL ladder. In a gritty win over the Warriors in Auckland in round 12, Horsburgh and teammate Morgan Smithies pulled off a try-saving tackle on Marata Niukore in the dying stages. And last Sunday, in the Raiders' 26-24 win over the Sydney Roosters, it was Horsburgh who jolted the ball loose from Victor Radley's grasp with the game on the line. Horsburgh (112m) also clocked up more metres than the Roosters' two Origin props - fellow Queenslander Lindsay Collins (47m) and NSW prop Spencer Leniu (42m) - combined. And the 27-year-old, who has just one solitary Queensland appearance to name, is eager to channel those efforts into Origin and help Slater's men square the series. "You can't take it (an omission) to heart but I just focus on winning," Horsburgh told AAP. "We won last week, we won this week and as long as the Raiders are winning... if my phone rings for game two, I'm ready. "I'm playing in a different role to 2023 when I was at lock. (There was) no feedback on why I didn't make it or anything. "I'm just trying to play consistent footy and if the phone rings I'm ready, but if not hopefully they can get the job done over the next two games." Canberra can finish round 14 in top spot with a win over Souths in Horsburgh's 100th NRL game. Josh Papali'i will also surpass Jason Croker and become the most-capped player in Raiders' history in his 319th NRL game. Horsburgh's road to his milestone has been fraught with highs and lows and as recently as last year the prop was on the outer after a 2024 campaign that was wrecked by injury and suspension. "I don't care about mine, Papa's (milestone) is a big one - beating the club record is pretty special," Horsburgh said. "I missed his 300th last year from not playing the best footy so it's one I don't want to miss. "I've had bad injuries but I'm a pretty resilient person who can bounce back from stuff like that. "I identified last year was more my fault and I've trained hard and got my body right to reap the rewards now... hopefully this year we can do something special."
