I'm not saying pick Pearce, but who else is there ?
Carney is not the player he was, and was only average when selected
Mullen is a fine kicker, but won't threaten in attack.
Kelly is too raw
Hodkinson is too slow and will be cannon fodder for QLD.
Pearce will be the number 7 unless injured. The issue is who will play at 6? I wouldn't play Maloney, unless he kills it , in the next 4 weeks. Id be picking Dugan at fullback, because he offers X factor, and QLD don't want him selected. Hayne could be a real option at 6, because the more he touches the ball, the better.
Josh Reynolds, falters in big games. He was rubbish in last years series, offered nothing. In the semi against Newcastlle, he and Hodkinson were horrific, insipid, just garbage. Morons like Bullfrog Farce, thinks they both should be NSW halves.
I'm assuming this is a troll post considering nobody with half a brain cell would honestly think that Pearce threatens more in attack than Mullen. Not that your comparison even makes sense to begin with considering one is a 7 and the other a 6 so they're not even competing for the same position.
Even that aside, you want to take NSW's best fullback and play him out of position at 5/8 to replace him with an inferior fullback? That'll do me. Apart from his kick returns Dugan isn't fit to lace Hayne's bootlaces. He screws up a lot of attacking raids when he's playing in the line and Hayne is brilliant in that department. If you're going to go with an ineffective halves combination then you at least need a fullback that's capable of ball playing.
Then on top of that you bring up that Reynolds and Hodkinson were garbage in the semi against Newcastle but at the same time you think the bloke that got the Knights home that day can't threaten? Okay...
Sorry if I sound rude but I just can't understand your thought process here at all...
Pat Richards is a far better player than El Masri. He is big and strong and can defend. Hasem kicks goals.

It's a simple thought process
Roosters - the greatest thing ever, no player can do wrong
Every other team except the Bulldogs - Nowhere near as good as the Roosters. If their is a choice between a Roosters player and a player from one of these teams the Roosters player is always better
Bulldogs - Scum of the earth, nothing on this planet is worse than the Bulldogs and their players. Under no circumstances should their players have anything positive said about them. If you do need to talk about the Bulldogs make sure you mention the word toxic at least once
Quite sad really
Neville 36. You should get someone to read to you what I posted, u halfwit. Never said Pearce threatened more in attack than Mullen. That's your dribble. As for your attack on Dugan, did you not watch his performance against the Storm ? Critics were waxing lyrical about it. He was outstanding. You must have an issue with Dugan, build a bridge. I want to throw everything at QLD. They have a sensational side, it's 9 in a row. Having both players on the field, would worry QLD.
Neville, sorry, no name, you wouldn't by chance by a friend of Bullfrog Farce? You both have simplistic argumentative skills.

So what your saying is Pearce offers more in attack than Mullen?
Based on statistics and the fact that his form from round 15 to the grand final , was excellent , then the answer is yes.
The Roosters did win the premiership FFS
You will always be my little b$&ch Bullfrog . My whipping boy. It's been fun throwing you around like a rag doll, all 145 pounds of you. You remind me of Ben Creagh. As soon as a fights on, you run and hide behind others. You are the laughing stock of this forum. Everyone knows it.
