Blues Halves for 2013

Reynolds rep record 0/2

Pick him

Reynolds' hamstring snaps at the first sign of trouble

Reynolds is more inform than Pearce at the moment and he is a bigger talent.

How many times does Pearce have to be in a losing team before we move on? Why didn't Mullen or Soward get the same amount of chances?

Give the keys to Reynolds and Maloney. They are the best halves in NSW.

Because we decided to 'give the keys' to Mullen and he wasn't ready and/or good enough. Likewise with Walsh, Campese, etc. Learn from history dickhead.

Pearce, like has been said, was good enough to get us within a bees dick of a series win. If Cronk hits the post and Morris runs the length of the field to score, Pearce is the halfback that won us an Origin series and we wouldn't be having this discussion. He has got what it takes to play at this level after the time that was put into him and to toss that away now on a HOPE (and remember, its a f**king HOPE) that a rookie who cant pass and a support runner who cant tackle is f**king stupid when we only needed to be 2 points better.

Pearce and Carney got dis.

 

[Springbokfly]

Reynolds sucks

 

[Talanexor]

I honestly think that, if all NSW halves are fit and in form, the strongest possible halves combo is Campese and Carney.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

LOL can't believe people are backing Pearce. He's just about the best on the field................... for Queensland.

huh, no.

hes just an easy scapegoat for people who want someone to blame.

 

[Nightward]

Alternatively, he could be the NSW halfback for four consecutive Origin series where they've failed to deliver enough in attack to get NSW over the line.

The current Queensland side is exceptional, no doubt. But NSW could very easily have fielded better teams against them, and have consistently chosen not to.

 

[Mr Saab]

huh, no.

Whilst he is not soley to blame, his kicking game in origin is very poor and NSW failed to get repeat sets from forced line drop outs compared to QLD with Locker / Thurston / Cronk / Smith

Spot on .
How Gallen & co didn't throttle Pearce (after they did the hard work & got in QLD's 20) for continually kicking to Tates wing..& he just kept catching them .
He has NO creativity .that is a simple fact.His kicking game is woeful.

 

[LatK7]

^ Agreed. Tbh it's a shame they didn't stick with Soward. His kicking game (short/long) is generally excellent, despite what anyone thinks about his other aspects. Pearce's kicking game is average at best...and that's being nice.

 

[timka4]

Pearce's kicking game wasn't great. But neither was Soward's when he came in 2011. He was / is meant to be the best kicker but failed terribly at it.

Pearce's running game, ball playing are his strengths. He does need to improve his kicking game though (state level too)

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

huh, no.

I think its a safe bet to blame the guy who missed Thurston on his own 20 metre line which led to a try in the next play and than kick the ball out on the full at the restart giving queensland a penalty ultimately leading to a Hodges try. Not to mention the numerous wasted opportunities which NSW's forward pack worked hard for all night.

 

[boonboon]

Is Campese the best option at five eight if he stays fit
