Mitchell Pearce

[Saxon]

Why is is that so many of the Mitchell Pearce knockers are Panthers fans?

Obviously because they want Cleary or Moylan in there instead of Mitchell Pearce.

Remove the Panthers fans and you only have two or three Mitchell Pearce knockers on the whole forum.

Mitch Pearce is the first man I'd pick for NSW.

But I'm a Queenslander.

 

[OldPanther]

Pearce was dominant vs Newcastle.

He destroyed them, easily.

He played "ok" against an ISP level team.

1. We want to win
2. Everyone is over Pearce at origin, not just us.

Cleary has inspired the Panthers to 9th.

Cleary has inspired the Panthers to 9th.

We've had 5 spine combinations in 12 months. With some consistency we will be much improved. Can't say the same for Pearce's rep career.

Edit: he also went to week 2 of the finals last year with the youngest team in the comp lol.

 

[Stephen 'Stevo' Stevenson]

Cleary won't be in contention for an origin spot for some time.

Pearce is locked in for at least the next 5 years.

He's a leader for NSW now.

Even if that were true Cleary will be there 2019 at the latest.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Cleary will have to wait until he is at least 21 -- two more years -- before he will even be considered for State of Origin.

Mitchell Pearce is here and now. With a stronger pack of forwards, more real talent like David Klemmer instead of the pretender Aaron Woods, Pearce can shine in Origin.

 

[Blues Riff]

Looks like we have a consensus.

Well, if you want to get technical Pearce has played with 6 different halves partners in his 7 series (Anasta, Barrett, Soward, Carney, Hodkinson, Maloney).

I honestly hope Pearce isn't selected next year. Moylan and Maloney can have a crack, with Maloney the next to get the shaft after we inevitably lose in 2018 and Cleary or some other poor bastard whose put his hand up.

They should have stuck with Maloney as much as possible in my opinion.

That's pretty realistic.

Whether we like it or not he's being considered now. I think 2018 is a year early but it is what it is.

Look I get you like Pearce but, right or wrong, his reputation at State of Origin won't survive this series. He had his Lockyer "You need to win" moment and it didn't happen. Might not be all his fault but that will be irrelevant to selections going forward.

Maloney should have been given the gig in 2011 while he was having his break out year at the Warriors, either taking Pearce or Soward's place that series.

He never should have been out of the side since, and just been paired up with Pearce or Adam Reynolds from 2012 onwards.

Reynolds deserved more than 1 series to rise to the occasion also.

That's pretty realistic.

Well I could be pessimistic and say that trying to correct the original error of throwing an overhyped half with a famous dad to the origin wolves before he was ready will not be fixed by doing the exact same thing all over again..... but I'm holding out hope that Cleary will finally be the NSW flog halfback who can actually do something

 

[Spot On]

It's almost sad your bait has become this lacklustre. It's like you've given up attention seeking as no one will play with you.

"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." Comes to mind. The only difference I can see is if they pull a storm/QLD and give him some spine players from Panthers for the comfort/familiarity factor.

Shhh, facts mean nothing to Albert. His man-crush means he'll never concede that Pearce is beyond useless in SOO.

Facts mean everything to me. I await NSW finding some decent props to replace Swearin' Aaron Woods and Fatty Fifita, so Mitchell Pearce can get a chance to show his true talent.

 

[Mr Saab]

Yes Albert...always the forwards fault.
Go to youtube and watch 2nd half of game 3 2013 and watch how Pearce absolutely bottles the game with DOMINANT field position.

 

[Griffoshark66]

Pearce is rubbish. The coach is rubbish. QLD want it more. f**k origin.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Next year Cronk will not be playing Origin and neither will Thurston. That will make it easier for Mitchell Pearce to dominate Origin.
