Pearce never to be blue again

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

I hope he doesn't play origin again, he's just not right for that stage.

What Pearce is, is a great club footballer and he will help win us a comp this year.

He's mentally tough, he has a solid passing game (apart from the occasional one to a player's face) and he's determined as hell.

Agree 100%

I can accept he's not Joey johns reincarnated. I don't care if he plays rep football again. He doesn't need to beat Queensland to win a comp.

Speaking of his mental toughness I saw him just as the 20's started and he was laughing and joking without a care in the world. There's no need for Mark Bouris letters he's not a baby ffs he was in great spirit at the club too. Water off a ducks back.

Look Yeh he came out and played well but why doesn't he do it for NSW?

I said in an earlier post good club player but not up to origin. We have persisted with him at 7 and dumped five eight after five eight. We need to give another half a chance.

No one cares. He's great for Easts and that's all that matters. Meanwhile you merkins didn't score a point, again

Yep.. for some reason I don't think the opinions of hacks like Rothfield and geniuss on the internet bother him particularly much

Meh season is done and gone for us. Always next year.....again

serious question: do any of you roosters fans fear that his inability to force repeat sets will come back to bite hard when ur say... 16-12 down vs souths/storm/manly in the semi/grand final?

i reckon that's pretty much the only thing missing from a guaranteed premiership (minus injuries, but those r completely random)

Why would we need repeat sets when we score the majority of times we enter the redzone?

There's no such thing as a guaranteed premiership, no matter how good you are. Neither Easts or Souffs have beaten Melbourne this year.

Honestly I think the discussion about repeat sets has little merit. It's the latest buzzword used to discredit our halves just like the tries off kicks from 2008.

Repeat sets are great obviously but being a team that is built on defence I'm confident we can keep teams under pressure from our defence rather than in attack.

Exactly. Nobody rated Manly and especially Warriors in 2011 and yet they played the GF.

I'm not even worried about the finals let alone the grand final. Take each week as it comes and enjoy the ride.

The letter had nothing to do with treating Pearce like a baby, it was all about attitude. By everyone publicly supporting him, it showed the club is united and has the mentality to challenge the title.

Our forwards killed it and besides one player, they all made over 100 metres. Then you look at woods stats, 20m was it?

Yo listen up here's a story.
About a little guy that lives in a blue world.
And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue like him inside and outside

If pearce doesn't play origin again fine but when Reynolds fails next year and he will are we going to see Reynolds get bagged on as well or is that saved for Pearce.
