Is this Mitchell Pearce's last chance in Origin?

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

Pearce was a grand final halfback in 03 & 04 and he was Origin halfback during a successful series. :crazy:

:?

 

[Fingerbang]

Because there were no other options. And how did he go in the 2010 GF? :lol:

Hey....he would've looked good if the stupid Dragons weren't so lucky correctly guessing every single play he was about to put on.....dammit.

 

[Cliffhanger]

:?

Sorry Finch and Pearce have so much in common it's hard not to mix up their names.

Winning at halftime, he would've looked good if the refs didn't rig the game. We should've been up 8-0 at halftime.

Finch played 3 origin games and 2 in a losing series wth?

 

[Cliffhanger]

His first origin game was in 2004, a winning series. Even though he played in the match they lost.

Finch in origin 1 from 3.

What's Pearce's record again?

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

The same percentage as Sowards.

Your guys were the media darlings all week....all month, leading up to the gf. Even Gallop's ideal Premiers for 2010. Take away the Gaz try after the touchie's mistake....you still lose. Take away the incorrect call of try to Anasta in the first half, and it is back to an even keel again at halftime. 24 - 0 in the second half.....hmmmm, sorry, don't think I can blame the refs for that many points.

 

[Cliffhanger]

Exactly 0.

I never would have picked Soward in origin, but now that he's been picked he has to be allowed to play out the rest of the series.

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

Take away the unfairly allowed Young try, and Fien's try would never have happened. the game's momentum changes significantly. Would have been 2 tries each.

C'mon.....you are clutching at straws there now. Your team was comprehensively outplayed in the 2nd 40.....if you can't see that, tough titties. Then again, for someone who reckons halfbacks don't make good hookers.....

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

You think someone like Sandow would make a good hooker :lol: the best hookers these days are tackling machines.

 

[Fingerbang]

How do you know Fien's try would never have happened?

 

[Joker's Wild]

Pretty much all the best hookers in the game over the last 10 years have started out as halfbacks

Just because Sandow cant tackle doesnt mean most other halfbacks cant

I agree not all halfbacks would make good hookers, but you said not many halfbacks have made the transition to hooker successfully.

Name me some modern era hookers who have played halfback for more than one season in first grade (not as a stop-gap fill in)

 

[Cliffhanger]

Sandow is one halfback.

I group quality hookers into two catergories* those whose strength is their ability to make good metres from dummy half and those who are tackling machines. Hookers like Cameron Smith are both. Most important thing for a hooker is to provide good service from dummyhalf.


*So hard not to make a lame joke there.

Ahhhh.....I see what you did there. Changing your words around to not look so stupid, huh? Too late, I already quoted your original words....

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

Well any tard would know I was talking about the past 10 years

 

[Fingerbang]

Well any tard would know I was talking about the past 10 years

Really? How about I start then.....Cameron Smith was a halfback, Danny Buderus was a halfback, Nathan Fien was a halfback, Nathan Friend I think, Nafe Seluini, John Morris, etc etc......pretty sure there was lots more in the last 10 years as well.

And don't comeback with that crap about you meaning guys who played more than a season at halfback in NRL.....not what you said originally.
