Mitchell Pearce's form of late has been amazing. He has won several MoM awards.
Because the best half back in the world, Cooper Cronk, was not playing for the Sydney Roosters last Friday, and Luke Keary was taken off injured early, Mitchell Pearce took advantage of the situation to stamp his authority on the game against the Sydney Roosters.
Mitchell Pearce's form has been so good that he deserved to be selected for the NSW Blues. He is better than Nathan Cleary. He would have outplayed Dale Cherry Evans. Unfortunately his imperfect form of past years in State of Origin is still being held against him.
Mitchell Pearce is a product of the top class Sydney Roosters culture, built by Nick Politis and Trent Robinson. Now, along with Connor Watson and Shaun Kenny- Dowell, Mitchell Pearce is sharing his Roosters cultivated talents with the people and team of Newcastle. Long may he prosper.
