Mitchell "Passenger" Pearce

[Jason Maher]

Im biased and don't care he's crap

He wasn't crap last night, which is the point of this thread.

Classic example of re-interpreting events to suit your agenda. No-one would ever in a million years credit a JT or Cronk try assist to lead up work by other players on previous tackles or to deficiencies in the oppositions defensive work. But when it's Mitchell Pearce, we can't possibly admit that he may have done something good, so we explain it away however we can.

I hate Pearce as much as anyone for his lack of performance in sky blue over several years, but he had a pretty good year for the Roosters this year, and he played well last night. To pretend otherwise is to let your bias determine your views.

He was the 4th best half out there and giving Pearce all the credit takes away from the great line Guerra ran and the obvious lack of numbers Manly had after the Roosters went close the previous two plays. And what has JT or Cronk have to do with it? I am talking about that specific play.

Cheers for that post JM but haters are always going to find excuses to not give him credit. Personally I really don't care what they think, he has been good for the club, but I do get a laugh out of their pain.

Don't hate Pearce and I don't hate the Roosters. But a classic example of someone giving a half all the credit when if anything the line being run sets up the play. It was a good pass though.

Sorry I couldn't hear you over the replay of Pearce winning the Grand Final.

Chook.

Nice deflection.

 

[TheDalek079]

oh, and did you know that this year Pearce has the most line break assists, and equal most try assists?

 

[Joker's Wild]

Why cant he take that form into SOO? Where do these abilities go then?

 

[God-King Dean]

oh, and did you know that this year Pearce has the most line break assists, and equal most try assists?

Did you know Brett Finch once had the most try-assists, & that Matt Orford won the Dally M player of the year?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

oh, and did you know that this year Pearce has the most line break assists, and equal most try assists?

Did you know he was the only player to have over 20 try assists and 20 line break assists?

He was also the only premiership winning halfback for 2013 too.

Nope, most try assists went to Adam Reynolds (23). Pearce (22) was equal second

Did you know he was the only player to have over 20 try assists and 20 line break assists?

Hmm not quite. He actually only had 19 Line break assists

[TheDalek079]

add in the finals games, Pearce ends up with 25 try assists

My mistake I thought he had 20.

I notice Adam Reynolds doesn't rate a mention in the line break assists category. He has about less than 10 of those for his career lol

Pearce has been in the top 5 or 10 for each category nearly every year for the past 4-5 years.

The denial and glossing over of facts is amazing on here. He's been a good club halfback for a number of years now.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Look, Pearce can have a big shit eating grin as much as wants, as can Roosters fans, but, seriously, how the f**k can anyone, regardless of their colors, not be in to the queer merkin for going to a Bieber concert?

Has he got a Belieber tatt?

Most know this

The real issue is why he turns to shit when pulling on a rep jersey

Great club footballer. Terrible rep footballer. I won't bag him as long as he isn't wearing a blue jersey.
