Jordon Pierera

[SnowDragon]

I expected more comments on Jordi’s game last week. For a relative newcomer, he showed great decision making and was very reliable. Added to that I thought his finishing has improved a lot.

I know the proof isn’t in one game, but rather consistency in these points, but I was so happy to see him grab the game last week after a slower start than I hoped.

Fingers crossed for a huge season for him, starting with another solid game against the knights!

He is not the greatest winger , but he has shown to me he is willing always gives his best , hard as , and seems to be in the right place when it matters ... He will be good close to the line , he won't score you a long range try , but that doesn't matter because of the game Mary plays ....

More then earnt his wing spot in the team.

Hopefully he's there long term!

Good thread. I know this forum thrives on negativity and having a whinge about everything we can think of, but Pereira has been excellent this year so far.

Top try scorer in NSW Cup last year and he's already got four in three NRL games this season. He might be a late bloomer but he seems to be developing a decent combination with Lafai and is a tough, whole-hearted player. Definitely the top winger at the Dragons and a lot better than some running around at other clubs.

Thanks to God we have Pereira on the left wing and that he is so reliable. For if he was not in the side, there is certainly no obvious replacement given Mary won't select Pearson and our right winger needs a lot of improvement to be at first grade standard.

I only wish the likes of Dufty and Field possessed a larger bod frame as they both have speed to burn.

Jordon plays a strong consistent brand of football, and continues to improve, both in attack and defence.

Possm..you did not have or want Periera in your side 1-2 months ago. You wanted Ravalawa and Pearson as your wingers. Now you are thanking a higher power!.

For me Periera just echos my thoughts I said all off season that he is a goer, tries and runs hard to skittle blokes over, more than capable under a high ball, yeh...he is not the flashiest looking or possesses great speed past 20 metres or so but did everything asked of him last year when given an opportunity to deserve his spot. No one has deserved to take it off him..although I like the look of Marsters in reggies but as a future centre partnering Lomax

He's a beauty, I like the Boy!!
Consistent, Reliable & plenty of Heart......shades of Gypsy!

Potential Man crush.
Just need him to iron someone out by running over the top of them and I'll be there

Sounds like a mid year school report haha

JP is going better than I thought he would so kudos to him.
He is tough and willing to roll up his sleeves.
The problem as always for us is we don't know how far he can run to score a try.
It has been a very, very long time since we have seen our outside men streak away and leave the opposition clutching at air.
It is really quite depressing to think how few long range tries we either create or in fact score.

You are right about Pereira, I changed my mind after seeing the performance of both Ravalawa and Pearson this season. In my opinion Pearson is a better winger than Ravalawa.

Having said all above, if there was a couple of speedy first grade standard wingers on the market, I would replace both of our wingers with them.

Mary said Long range try's don't count, neither do try's from kicks, Mary has it all sorted..

Well said agree 100% . He is also a hard trainer.

Yes- he has some of Gypsy's close to the line skills- reading the play, being in the right place to take the pass, great hands (eg that pick up of the long pass from Norman resulting in a try in the corner against Souths) flexibility and the strength to get rid of tacklers as big as Inglis- Gypsy was a gymnast and was strong thru the quads and hips and Pereira is also a ball of muscle.

 

[blacksafake]

Like him, Reliable, tough & should only get better once he gains confidence & realises he’s good enough for NRL.

 

[Crush]

He's lucky there is zero competition for his spot.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a Rapana, Ado-Carr, Tupou, Ferguson, the list goes on......

 

[VodkaSaint]

won me over

 

[Wittenberg]

You have got to admire a player who looks like he would kill for his club. There are plenty of better wingers in the comp but you know he is going to give it his all. The guy has ticker and passion and I’ve got the feeling he would be good to have next to you if a blew started.

Don't understand this post. He's only one try behind being equal leading tryscorer in the NRL
