Who would you rather have at your club?Jamie Soward or Mitchell Pearce..

[Jason Maher]

soward is crap, can't tackle and doesn't really offer anything in attack.

Didn't watch last night's game did you? And please stop treating what Mark Geyer says as a serious opinion. :roll:

 

[bmwpower]

Matt Head

 

[Kiki]

hhahahaah Soward offers nothing in attack. yeh good one dickhead.

 

[Cloud9]

doesn't matter
I prefer Wayne Bennett over Brad Fittler

 

[thommo4pm]

Pearce over Soward...no one wants a grub.

If no one wants a grub, why have you guys got Adam Blair?
Up there with Paul Gallen as the biggest grub in the NRL.

 

[thommo4pm]

i think you've said it well. pearce is 19 or 20 ffs. he's a good player now and will get much better. soward is crap, can't tackle and doesn't really offer anything in attack.

My god, you don't watch much footy do you?
:lol:

People who say Soward's defence is terrible really should get their head out of their backsides and watch sides other than their own if they want to make comments.

Soward's defence last night was excellent, had Folau run straight at him several times and took him...he smashed Karmichael Hunt one on one at one stage in the second half.....watch the games closely people before making stupid ill-informed comments. :crazy:

This will end the same way the Eddie Paea thread did.

 

[thommo4pm]

This thread is a bit silly anyway.
Nothing wrong with Mitchell Pearce, he is still young and still learning...as is Soward.
It's good that both of these young guys are in the NRL.
I'm very happy that we have Soward, likewise I'm sure the Roosters are happy they have Pearce.

 

[gregstar]

whilst i agree bloward's defence is not his strong suit, have a go at the tackle he put on toupee last week.

toupee was virtually a metre or two from the line at the gallop & bloward stopped him in his tracks on his own - that's pretty snappy.

 

[ByRd]

Soward easily, i honestly just dont rate Pearce. His running game isn't strong and he sometimes lacks vision. Only time he is consistent is with his kicks, he needs to improve alot more.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Pass and Pass, but would say Soward was good for the stains last night. I actually enjoy the circus show when takes kicks at goal. WTF is that?

 

[Red Bear]

Pearce is 19 compared with Soward who is 24. Big age difference between the two.

I still dont rate Soward all that highly, he just is not a playmaker, good long kicking game and quick but his passing game is pretty mediocre really.

I think Pearce will prove to be the better player.

 

[TouchMyHappy]

I think if Pearce didn't have that last name he would not be in the NRL and certainly not have played origin already. Although you look at the Roosters halves post Fitler/Lamb and it's easy to see how he has his start.

I don't follow the Roosters or the Saints and I can only judge from what I've personally seen. Soward was hot and cold at the Roosters and understandably they let him go. While at the Saints, he started this year in not the best of touch, but has bounced back and last night played one of the best matches I've seen from him.

Pearce has some fine moments with his astute passing game, but to me it seems he relies on the Roosters game plan of kicking until the cows come home.

For mine, based on what I have seen of the two, neither of them should be in this years origin, but Soward is playing better football than Pearce.

 

[Didgi]

Soward is better than Pearce ATM, but Pearce willm eventually be a better player IMO.

 

[sass]

there are good things about pearce ... I love his commitment to defence and I like his passing game but I'd take soward every day. he hasn't always been consistent but I'll take a creative and instinctive player in the halves any day. you can train someone to be disciplined but you can't teach them footy smarts.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

But once Pearce is partnersing Carney nobody at Easts will remember Soward.

 

[sass]

GROSS. don't mention carney to me.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Yeah, my mistake.

Bring back Firman. Or Lewis. Even Finch.

 

[sass]

I would rather have a losing team than carney in it kthanks.

ps HI JOSH LEWIS.

 

[brokendigit]

With a bit more luck, Firman would've been an absolute star.
