Seriously? So it's a "jobs for the boys" thing?

As if it's not...
Roosters form?I've shit-canned NSW halfbacks in the past who went on to play good games (Finch, Noddy).
If Jnr Jnr gets picked and plays a strong game/ series I'll happily eat not just a slice, but the entire humble pie...
But the thing is...he's had so many chances to prove me wrong- and I'd love him to prove me wrong- but he's been average at best and completely shat the bed at worst.
Why he can't take his Roosters form into Origin is beyond me, but the fact is there are some players who step up for Origin and some who don't. Pearce (like Braith before him) is one such player. Laurie seems to keep hoping that being the son of Wayne Pearce means he'll make the same impact on NSW his dad did, but as much as we'd like it to happen...I doubt it.
Time to blood somebody else.
Carney actually showed some promise. He was a Daly M medalist and led the Roosters to a grandfinal, it was such a shame what happened to his career. Could have been anything by now.My favourite Pearce media story was in 2010. He was partnered with Carney(another myth)and the terrorgraph ran a story about how they shared a love of fashion(showed a picture of them in Ed Hardy t shirts and skinny pants)and that level of closeness was the key to their combination getting on top on Qld. I realised the we were f*cked.
Roosters form?
The last 10 minutes of the Warriors game is all you need to know about Pearce as a player.
4 attacking sets which equated to a charged down field goal, two kicks dead before getting a field goal.
The Warriors have shown since that game that they are the biggest pea hearts going.
Any decent halfback puts them to the sword.
Doesn't even need to be a decent halfback.Roosters form?

On Friday night McCrone put them to the sword.

Shouldn't that be Robbie's highlights since it was all his fault?
I was just starting to come to terms with Pearce's selection. Thinking that he may be the right option after all.The Mitchell Pearce Origin Highlights Reel
