Mitchell Pearce's pec injury: end of Newcastle's playoff bid. End of NSW Origin chances?

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Mitchell Pearce's pectoral injury will keep him out of the game for four months. This surely ends Newcastle's chances of a top 8 spot. Perhaps it also ends NSW's chances of beating Queensland in Origin.

Before this tragedy Mitchell was doing so well.

His injury has thrown Queensland's origin plans into disarray.

This is twice as good as his last effort?

Adam must be bored again.

 

[Barkley]

Oh good another Mitchell Pearce thread.

 

[adamkungl]

Newcastle still have a decent shot at the 8.
Not the toughest draw in the next 2 months. If they get the wins against the teams below them to hold their current position they'll be in with a shot through July-August.
Time for Lamb and Cogger to step up

they're looking more confident but a lot of that flowed from Pearce imo

 

[Silent Knight]

All I know is it won't be the end of more pointless threads from Albert...

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Can this be the end of of Albert?

 

[Shorty]

His injury has thrown Queensland's origin plans into disarray.

I thought the thread title was an error and meant to say 'Queensland'.

 

[kdalymc]

Yeah, wtf. How would this be a bad thing for New South Wales. I’m scared as a Queenslander.

 

[SBD82]

Who was he trying to tackle? May go down in NSW folklore along with the girl in the yellow dress.

 

[JJ]

This could well be Albert's best thread

Low bar but like calling the season over because of Cronk signing this one has humour, I laughed. But this one added irony which was really good Literally LOL funny

That’s the real problem IMO. I was watching their attack on Saturday night and it’s quite intricate/structured and Pearce was pulling the strings in everything. It will be hard for the side to adjust. Cogger/Watson/Lamb are decent, although not brilliant, young kids but they just don’t have the experience/composure/influence of Pearce to organise everything (who for all SOO stuff aside is a great club footballer).

At least I know they won’t lay down and give up but it will be very tough for them. Most commentators have them down to collect the spoon again now so I hope they can prove them wrong.

We will be closer to the spoon than Newy this year I think
