Andrew Johns touting Mitchell Piss for Origin again

[Bobby DIGital]

I might be wrong, but isn't it NSW who artificially think that they are ahead by resetting their clocks?

The state of Qld is stupid for not having daylight savings. It gets dark way too early in summer.

Daylight Saving upsets the cows. Then they produce sour milk.

What would you rather? An extra hour of daylight and sour milk or normal daylight hours and normal milk?

We all know how much QLDers love milk...

Pearce wasn't available because of an injury but had he been it would have been interesting to see if they had gone for him as he is in great form

The thing about Pearce is at Origin level he isn't a halfback. He is more a five eighth

He is a big human and a great defender, has excellent passing skills and vision in and around the line that sets up runners to break through defensive lines

What he lacks is a top notch kicking game - which is exactly what you need at Origin level

All those years Mitch played, Queensland dominated field position. NSW only ever had the ball coming off their own line. That's a world for forwards. Mitch got the ball and kicked it straight to Slater, Inglis, Boyd or Gagai etc and NSW gave away a penalty. Queensland spend 25 more minutes attacking, score, rinse and repeat

They weren't games that showcased Mitchell's best attributes. Had he played a supporting role to a player with an exceptional long kicking and organization game it would have been different. That was Reynolds and NSW never picked them together.

Great club player and grateful to have him at Newy. But time to move forward at origin and ruin another halfback's (Cleary) career..

Mythchell, as NSW's most capped halfback, should be in camp teaching the Blues players all of his winning Origin tactics.

 

[RecordBreakingMaroons.]

Somewhere.....

Mythchell Pearce thanks GOD that he has a groin injury.

 

[RecordBreakingMaroons.]

I'll say my own prayer:

Please Dear GOD let him play. Please let him play. Please let him play.

 

[The old flick pass]

With the right half Pearce could have made a impact tonight considering his resent form.
He should be picked for game 2 (@5/8).
Walker has to be dropped.

 

[RecordBreakingMaroons.]

Please GOD. Pearce. Pearce. Pearce. They deserve more Pearce.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Say what you want about Pearce but there is no chance he would have been any worse than Cleary or Walker

 

[RecordBreakingMaroons.]

Why don't you play him, and find out? Play him. Play him. Go on. Go on. Do it. Bring back the One And Only.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

As a QLD fan I think they should pick Pearce

He can be a god at club level and the second he pulls on that NSW jersey his form just vanishes completely.

If he could take club form into Origin he would definitely be picked. He's a reverse Dane Gagai.

I agree. This thing about him failing at Origin level has also happened at club level. Earlier on this season with the Knights he has tried to overplay and that's when he has stuffed up.
He has learnt to settle at the Knights recently and that approach could be taken to Origin.
Pearce will work the best if there is confidence shown in him. The more support for him in the team the better he will go I think.

There is a very poor standard of halves in rugby league now. It is the worst I can remember in 30 years I've been following the game

They love anything creamy...

Mitchell Pearce is the second best half back in the world (after Cooper Cronk), and I am here including in my evaluation the star French halves Stan Robin and Theo Fages. That makes Pearce a very good half. It would be criminal not to pick Pearce ahead of the under-ripe Nathan Cleary and the overawed Cody Walker.

 

[RecordBreakingMaroons.]

Not to mention the book under the bed.

There is a lot of very talented but inexperienced ones running around. Was always going to happen with the star halves ageing together. Munster is quality, Pearce at club level is very good, the rest are still learning.

He already has numerous times.

I disagree. The younger ones seem crap.
