Giboz, really I don't think you can blame a lil ole half back for a teams whole performance.
The rorters choked in the final because their forward pack was beaten and the number of errors all their players made was massive.
Pearce is a better half than most others in the comp, cronk won't stop them choking.
The roosters need to go to a meat bank and steal some hearts to implant into their spiritless club to ever compete in a GF again.
As the Warriors have learnt since signing Isaac Luke, Foran and Tuivasashek,
Money doesn't buy heart!
The roosters have tried to buy 100 Premierships and mostly they have failed.
Lack of heart.
Mate, that’s price of being the halfback, much like the Quarterback in the NFL. You’re largely responsible for the teams result. It what makes JT and Cronk so great, they put the ball in their hands and own the result. I referred to Michael Morgan earlier, this finals series, he pretty much reached those heights this year.
When the game is there to be be won, teams look to their halfbacks to get them home. Roosters aren’t a mug team, their benchmark is premierships and it seems they have finally realised that to get there, you need one of the best halves in the comp.
Pearce is far from that.
