It is probably telling that if Pearce was a Queenslander (a thought to leave us all lying awake at night and screaming in fear) he would be behind:-
Cronk
Thurston
DCE
Hunt
Norman
Milford
Munster
Ash Taylor

for a position in the halves with Qld. He would not even make the top 8. That tells the tale for the position that NSW in.
Are you sure Pearce ranks amongst this lot Alfred Kungl?

Next year Cronk will not be playing Origin and neither will Thurston. That will make it easier for Mitchell Pearce to dominate Origin.
Munster and Hunt will be better than Pearce.

Munster in one game has done more than Pearce in 18.
Hunt in his cameo also did something Pearce could never do... he was on the field when his team won a srries.

Watching last night it looks like he has either no confidence or vision. He has a reasonable running game but doesn't use it. The defence knows he's going to pass to the second rower or Keary.Keary looks better because he can kick run or pass and the defence is in 2 minds about him.

Mitchell had an off night last night, perhaps because of the the crap that he reads about himself from the likes of Gus Gould.

I haven't seen Gus target him at all. He also has the best halfback to play the game as his halves coach. He really should be able to move on from origin.

Lol at this thread.

Pearce has been one of the top 3 halfbacks in club footy all year by a long way.

I don't give a f**k about Origin and every Roosters fan will be ecstatic if he never gets picked again.

The way he organises and directs our team and has closed out games in 2017 is remarkable and we're more than happy to have him lead us to another 2 or 3 GFs over the coming years whilst everyone else wanks off over Ben Hunt who is half the player or Cameron Munster who isn't even a halfback FFS.

If you think Cleary is already a better halfback at club level than Pearce then there's no help for you. Where are the Roosters and where are Penrith?

In time he will surpass Pearce because he's a huge talent. It's scary to think how good he'll be in his mid 20s. He could be the next all time great halfback in the Sterlo-Langer-Stuart-Johns-Thurston-Cronk lineage.

But for now as a complete half he's not even close because he's still a teenager.

Pearce is the linchpin of our team and does everything but he'll never get credit for that outside of the Roosters because he's the most demonised human since Hitler.

As for Thurston he hasn't played much hence I said for 2017.

I agree Cleary has some development to go but how our team is going is irrelevant. We haven't had a stable roster since he debuted. Once we started to get one we went 8 from 10.

f**k off he has, no where the best half in club footy. Are you simply trying to troll like Adam Rosenfeld?
