Which has nothing to do with the fact Adam Reynolds has a 0% winning record.
I didn't bring him up. You did (this is supposed to be a Mitchell Pearce topic).
But ok....Adam Reynolds ... yeah he has a 0% record. But he has only played 2 matches and if he won his third match he would have a better success rate than Mitchell Pearce ever has.
Pearce lost his first 4 Origin matches. Giving him a 0% success rate.
Pearce won his first Origin game after 5 matches. Giving him a 20% success rate.
Pearce won his second Origin game after 8 matches. Giving him a 25% success rate.
Pearce won his third Origin game after 10 matches. Bringing him up to a career high 30% success rate
Pearce won his fourth Origin game after 14 matches. He lost his 15th. Giving him a current success rate of 26.67%
Mitchell Pearce has proven in 6 separate Origin series that he is not an Origin player He has barely won a quarter of his games. When he loses Origin 1 for us he will drop back to a 25% success rate.
These are cold hard facts. Another fact is that literally every halves partner he has had has a better win rate than Mitchell Pearce, despite having him as their partner and decreasing their win rate.
Trent Hodkinson - 50% win rate (66% without Pearce)
Braith Anasta - 40% win rate (44.44% without Pearce)
Trent Barrett - 36.6% win rate (44.44% without Pearce)
Jamie Soward - 33% win rate
Todd Carney - 33% win rate
James Maloney - 33% win rate (same rate without Pearce... his partners being Reynolds for 2 games, Moylan for his other)
Every single halves partner has the same or a better record without Mitchell Pearce. Every single one of them has a better win record then him. Yet he was the one who kept getting chance after chance.
