not many against the good defensive teams.remind me how many tries SKD scored working of Pearce and Carney in 2010
Which is what I've also started to noticed about how Jennings plays (especially after last nights All Stars). The more structured the game, the less he is involved and dominates. A game like the All Stars or against a team who isn't as structured and has less ball control he then seems to create some damage.Can't totally disagree with you there. As far as the post made above about Gidley in the halves by someone else, Gidley goes alright when playing ad lib footy like an Allstars game but is not suited to playing in the halves in a structured game such as origin. He gets in the way (in his own way actually).
Pearce isnt a player who is going ot take defense on by running or passing the ball, the only thing he does is kick the ball. Which puts the pressure on the 5/8 who needs to do all the attacking, nsw needs a halfback what at least trys to do more then just kick the ball, against good defence.So what you're say gaba is it harder to score against good defensive teams......you are a genius...........

Ah, that explains his lack of tries then. Oh wait...he scored the most tries of any halfback in the NRL in 2010. 3rd in try assists (3 more than Carney). 2nd in Line break assists.
why nsw wont win , because stop carney you stop the attack.The way Pearce plays seems to compliment the way the probable NSW five-eighth Todd Carney plays perfectly, no need to fix something if it isn't broken.
Majority of teams in 2010 had horrible defences, again you have to look at pearces performances in games where the defence has intensity.
teams lifted against certain teams for exampleBut if the majority of defences were bad wouldn't all halfbacks have similar stats?
