Match Discussion: Round 11 vs Bulldogs @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[perverse]

I actually would consider dropping Pearce for Lino (edit - or Crossland) at this point. It has gotten to that stage.

Having said that, the whole team let us down in the first 60 minutes. That was pathetic.

 

[Zoidberg]

I’d rather the score stayed at 18-0.

 

[Zoidberg]

Damn... Terrible... Mann playing the ball there 1000%.

And we can’t challenge because Mann blew up because the ref made the wrong call.

 

[aqua_duck]

You absolutely cannot defend Pearce at all anymore, whilst we made a lot of errors we had more than enough chances in the red zone to win 2 games, the kicking game from Pearce was abysmal

 

[Yosh]

Surely everyone at the club can see Pearce is killing our attack. He needs to be second or third option in attack. Ponga needs the ball first.

Mann to continue at hooker? He was class out there. The desire to win. Loved it. Very proud to be supporting a team with Mitch, Mann and Saifiti in it.

Our outside backs looked good whenever they got decent ball. Really feel like Pearce is holding the team back at the moment. If we had any other starting halfback in the NRL instead of Pearce today and we would have won that today.

 

[Silent Knight]

We are so sh*t. I’m sick of expecting good things from this team. This sh*t is the new normal and we’re never going to move beyond it on a consistent basis.

 

[Burwood]

I’d be putting Mann in at hooker for the rest of the season. It shouldn’t take away his strengths, and it will give an opportunity to put someone in at 5/8 with a bit more creativity and who can make up for Pearce’s poor kicking game.

 

[Jono078]

f**k the Knights. You just knew the Dogs would do something today.

 

[Yosh]

f**k the Knights. You just knew the Dogs would do something today.

They really didn't do anything. Just didn't make mistakes and scored whenever we made a mistake on our line. Pearce was the MOTM for the Bulldogs.

 

[Haffa]

I miss last week when I was told there is plenty to be excited about and to Get on f**king board!

same old.

 

[Johns Magic]

Yep Pearce has used up his brownie points in my book. He’s looking really short of spark and ideas.

Time to start looking at Plan B

 

[perverse]

I think we'll get there, but it won't be this year.

 

[Silent Knight]

Surely O’Brien from his time at the Roosters knows exactly what he’s going to get from Mitchell Pearce and he’ll make the same call Trent Robinson made. The fact Pearce can’t thread a grubber through the line is poor beyond belief.

Obi was only there last year, so he's never worked with Pearce before, only Cronk

My bad. It’s hard to think rationally when I’m in this thick cloud of rage.

 

[Spot On]

I look forward to the people in here last week telling people they’re shit fans for pointing out issues with the performance putting a spin on this one.

A few can put some weak spin on it. The rest see through that bs.

The club want to extend Pearce's contract. Spin that. FMD.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Pearce and Watson won't be resigned. Our side is strong once Friz comes... but no good without a halfback.

We might be second or first in the comp if not for Pearce. Absolute dud.

But what do we do for a halfback then?

 

[Zoidberg]

Honestly I should’ve known this was going to happen, not for the 1st time we’ve managed to ruin my perfect round of tipping.
