Anyone saying Pearce is shit just hates the guy. He’s definitely one of the better halves in the game. Sure he has his deficiencies but apart from Thurston, Cronk and maybe Morgan all halves do.

Anyways the Knights have made a signing which will undoubtedly make them a stronger side for next year and I don’t see how anyone could say that’s a bad thing.

Still can’t believe our haul this year. Proof in performance of course, but on paper would have to be close to the greatest single year roster turnover seen - both in numbers and quality (super league movements notwithstanding)

Thurston, Cronk, Morgan, DCE and maybe Cleary shade him. Maloney’s brilliance doesn’t make up for the woeful defence and brain farts.

Can cop having the 6th best half, better than the worst.

He’s ahead of Cleary (for now anyway).

Happy for the knights, happy for Pearce. I’m glad he went there. Will be good to see them competitive again. Round 3 at Allianz just got a whole lot more interesting.

Benefits of a full clean-out + cap going up massively next year.

You can thank Tinks and Wayno for that.

Well, instead of plodding along like the Knights have done for so long, they double handedly wrecked the joint for you to start over fresh.

Shit in sky blue and clutch games. One of the best halfbacks in the game Round 1-26. It’ll be sweet though we’ll drop him for Lamb in the semis.
Pretty much this.

Hes tough. Consistent and does his job well. You just wouldnt want him steering your team around in a big match.

Knights would happily get eliminated week 1 of finals after the past few years.

Meh this issue is overblown. For the most part he is fine at club level and has steered his team around for a premiership. It's origin where he falls apart but that might as well be a different sport to the NRL nowadays.
