Dragons chasing Mitchell Pearce

[Geohood]

IMO Pearce would be the last person to sign with another club.

 

[Drain the Dragon]

Rooster supporters are a strange breed. Their club is seemingly always in the market for every player in the NRL, but they expect complete loyalty from within. Go figure.

it is interesting cause in this weeks RLW The Mole has the following story

ORIGIN STAR WANTS OUT
Which star NRL playmarker is telling anyone who'll listen he's desperate to get out of his current club? The player - with origin experience - is offside with his coach and would jump at an opportunity to leave. Sadly, he;s under contract for another 18 months.

The players that are player makers and have played Origin in the last 5 years are:
Soward - Off Contract end 2013
Pearce - Off Contract end 2013
Gidley - Off Contract end 2015
Thurston - Off Contract end 2013
Wallace - Off Contract end 2014
Campese - Off Contract end 2015
Bird - Off Contract end 2013
Prince - Off Contract end 2014
Mullen - Off Contract end 2014
Hayne - Off Contract end 2014

Going off this it can only be Soward, Pearce, Thurston, Bird

Don't believe everything you read. Especially nowadays with the approach the club is making.

Could be Bird. Apparently he wants to finish his career at the Knights under Bennett.

How the hell do they have cape space to take all these players?

 

[grouch]

What approach is that? Dumping the captain and chasing big name myths like SBW? aka the standard Roosters approach

Who said we are expecting loyalty from anyone?

Look at the facts, rarely does a player leave that we want to keep. We want to retain pearce as far as I know so I expect us to resign him. JWH and Leilua were "certainties" to go at one stage this year and what happened there? Pearce has been earmarked as a future captain, I would be surprised to see him go.

 

[Fire]

Yeah agreed. Joey Johns said last night on the footy show that Bird wants to go back to where he grew up and play for Newcastle. You know, go back home, grow a shit mustache, glass women, act like a bellybutton, etc.

All these merkins 'going back' makes me hope Newcastle never get the Premiership now (I was hoping Bennett got it in his final year there), bunch of fake artists.

there are only one group of people in the game that are loyal.......the teams supporters....Most of them support no matter what....players or clubs are not loyal, it is now a business. You cant really blame players, look at your job, if the opposition come and offered you double your salary you would take it.....

 

[Drain the Dragon]

Yep. The dudes on the Knights forum are creamin' themselves over their new back-row as we speak.

There is loyalty...would you describe deano, hornby, creagh etc as disloyal?

 

[HowHigh]

besthalfbackpearce would die of a heart attack if he was still on here

 

[ybp-oor]

I wouldnt describe them as disloyal, but has their loyalty ever been tested...? I am glad they are still with us by all means, but when their contract is up for you never hear other clubs chasing them....

I grew up with Gaz and throught he would never leave, but once money comes into the situation anything can happen, the same with Luke Bailey, he wasnt off loaded due to Salary cap....

 

[Minh]

Agree but we have been linked to every good half back lately...which in short means we wont get him.:roll:

True, true about time we buck a trend sometime soon.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Bring back gaba, he needs this news.

he does.

i hope price can come up with a game plan that can carry him.

 

[Father Ted]

If Politis wanted to keep Pearce I'd think it would be very difficult to get him?

 

[64 Dragon]

I could think of worse players to chase. He has a great kicking game and is a tough half back.

Given the lack of halves around I would certainly take him, as long as he wasn't demanding ridiculous money.

If the Rooters really want to keep, him he will stay. They have a sugar daddy taking care of all their expenses.

 

[64 Dragon]

I will be suprised if this is not Matt Cooper's last season.:shock:

And Nathan Fein's.

there was a story in the RLW this week in the mole section saying origin star wants out, it says which nrl playmaker is telling anyone who'll listen he;s desperate to get out of his current club due to issues with his coach.
says he wuld jump at the opportunity to leave. but contracted for 18 months (not that contracts mean much these days). originally thought it may have been soward but now thinking it could be pearce? interesting.
