The utterly gleeful thing for QLD supporters, is that win lose or draw the Origin Series, NSW will continue to select Mitchell Pearce. Year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year...
No repercussions for poor Origin form. Those situations seem to fall upon a selection blind-spot. The same excuse for his selection is trotted-out year after year after year after year after year after year after year.
"He is the form halfback in the competition. We can't overlook him".
The bottom line is that no matter how badly he plays in Origin, based on his non-Origin performances, seemingly without reference to his actual Origin form, Pearce will be included as the Origin half.
Is it any wonder that Origin seems to be Groundhog Day for the Blues? Remember fellows, that Pearce's continued selection is merely the symptom of the true problem. The cause of the problem lies within your Blues system. There is a mindset. A misguidedness at the uppermost levels of the Blues system that cannot admit that they are wrong, that will not entertain any other way than what has gone before. They are entrenched and they are more determined than ever, in the face of criticism, to stay with their course.
Bumblers who have their hands on the steering wheel and will never relinquish it even if they destroy the ship.
