Mitchell Pearce - no spoilers

[kkingston]

Pearce will never play origin again imo
has been found out just like Tim Smith was

You just have to laugh at these threads.

If any of you had half an ounce of footballing knowledge in your brain you would know that halfbacks are never at their best at 19.

Here we have a great young talent in our game and all you keyboard heroes can do is write him off. Pathetic

Both Sandow and Pearce are excellent young players. Very Different players, Pearce is a better defender and probably a more solid player at the moment, Sandow seems to have some flair about him tho as well as a goo dkicking and running game. Hopefully both kick on to be top notch players.

well said mister! totally agree.

Pearce is over rated. The problem is he debut at a very young age and there is always this assumption that youngsters will continue to develope at the same phenominal rate that they have to that point. He just is not that good. He is a very solid first grader but he will be no super star.
He is another Finch, Anasta, Tim Smith. Get good too early and the others work just that little bit harder and you get left behind.
His other big problem is that Gould will blow smoke up his rectum any chance he gets. This just annoys people.
He will suffer even pore when (if) rules come into the game to reduce the effectiveness of bombs. He has a good bomb. ROosters are so reliant on bomb.

Regardless of whether his over rated or not IMO he certainly comes across as an arrogant wanker/sook

Are you still hurting over his intercept try @ Penriff Park?

 

[Fairfax]

Joey!

Were you watching football then? Johns had potential but was hot & cold... just like a 19 year old halfback.

Either will Greg Bird... but at least he'll be eligible for selection.

yeah, that's it :sarcasm:

 

[Hanscholo]

He is still a kid, he has had some poor glimpses in games but overall he is going to be a really good long term player.

Rubbish. Lets just shoot down his career at 19, he's so sh*t the Roosters only finished 4th. :crazy:

 

[marshall stalin]

i suppose all the epods who are rubbishing young pearce will all be able to post their cv of sporting achievements in professional sport for us all to judge them - oh you epods have no sporting achievements - figures

 

[God-King Dean]

This guys gotta mix things up a bit. Very robotic performance.

Huh. Personally I thought it was his best game in a while, got us some repeat sets from drop outs, and that 40/20 was the perfect play at the time. 2nd half we didnt so the ball so not really much he could do.

 

[Sood]

Yeh i thought he went alright. Better then most of the others wearing red white n blue.

 

[bartman]

The 40-20 was the best thing I've seen him do.

Was absent in the second half as far as I could see, but he wasn't alone there...

 

[ledzep]

Honestly, I think he lacks vision

 

[Geohood]

Well a positive is that the only way is up. Vision can come with experience.

 

[Monk]

agreed, lets have a look at mini's first year of FG :sarcasm:

 

[Miller was a legend]

The kid has talent. It will show. Not to many halves do well when the teams go forward is non existant.
