So what are our predictions? The way I see it, there are 3 outcomes:
1) NSW win narrowly on the back of magic from Fifita, Maloney and/or Tedesco, with Pearce Doing enough to not f**k it up for us (also known as being 'solid', which is apparently his ceiling in origin). Roosters fans cream themselves over his performance.
2) NSW lose narrowly on the back of someone else's f**k up, with Pearce not being the one to f**k it up for us but not stepping up to take a chance to win. Roosters fans relentlessly blame the other players and then cream themselves over his lack of non-performance.
3) NSW lose spectacularly, with Pearce being a basic no-show. Roosters fans blame our forwards, the refs, QLDs champion team and the fact that Farah/Gallen werent there to help Pearce, then cream themselves over his performance.
