In a brief joint statement released earlier today, the pair revealed that—after months of speculation from teammates, friends, and one particularly nosy neighbour—they have finally identified the mysterious culprit behind their recent string of missing socks, half-eaten protein bars, and vanishing phone chargers.
“It was the dog,” the couple confirmed with mock solemnity.
“It was always the dog.”
According to sources close to the couple, their energetic puppy, Turbo, has “more agility than Nathan in the 79th minute and more speed than Mary on a counterattack,” making him nearly impossible to catch in the act. Fans have responded with a flurry of amused messages, many sharing their own tales of four-legged domestic chaos.
Social media erupted as the pair posted a short video featuring Turbo proudly trotting past the camera with one of Cleary’s boots in his mouth. Cleary can be heard sighing in the background while Fowler bursts into laughter.
NRL players, Matildas teammates, and even official club accounts joined in on the fun.
- Isaah Yeo commented: “Can confirm. Turbo is the real MVP at training.”
- Sam Kerr added: “Finally, someone else whose dog steals more gear than mine.”
- The Panthers’ official page posted: “Contract offer incoming for Turbo. We need that speed.”
Fans expressed relief that the “announcement” was nothing serious and praised the couple for sharing a moment of authenticity and humour.
As for Turbo, he remains blissfully unaware of the international attention—though Cleary joked that the dog is “already negotiating for a bigger food bowl.”
