Moga To Be “One Of The Greats” – Mitchell Pearce

HOTLY-tipped Tautau Moga’s first grade debut proved he will be one of rugby league’s greats, according to team-mate Mitchell Pearce.

After his inclusion on the wing had been kept secret all week, the NSW Under 20s star scored a try and had another disallowed at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday as the Roosters went down narrowly

“All the great players have great debuts and I thought Tau’ with that classy touch, was right up there,” Pearce tells RLW.

“I reckon he’s in that class, not putting pressure on him. I probably just put pressure on him then…

“Nah, he’s a pretty special player and that’s the sort of stuff he does all the time.

“He’s only going to get more confident. He’s just a natural player. Not many people can do that sort of stuff – Israel Folau and that, they’re the sort of players who would do that sort of stuff.

“You saw where their careers went. I’m sure Tau’ will have a massive career and the more we get him a BJ (Leilua) on that side…”

Meanwhile, Pearce and team-mates say they might have to reign in the fancy attack after being pipped 30-26 by the Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday night.

Pearce described the match as “a pretty twisted game”.

“It was probably one of the most physical first grade games I’ve played in, aside from maybe a finals game,” he said.

“Smith’s style, he encourages everyone to play what they see and move the ball if it’s on. Probably, maybe, we could reel it in at times and play that more conservative style.”

Forward Martin Kennedy added: “It’s easy for us to start thinking we’re a bit cursed.

“The Dragons game went against us, the Souths game at the start of the year obviously went our way. I’m not exactly sure what’s going on but the tide’s going to turn soon, I hope.

“It’s all entertainment but we’d like to get the job done at the same time. As fancy as we look, we’re more concerned getting the job done. If being fancy and doing all the trick plays isn’t going to work for us, we’ll have to look at doing something else.

“We’ve got a young side. It’s a cliché that inexperience lets you down when it matters most. We can’t keep using that as an excuse. We’ve got a young side – that’s the side we’ve got.

“We’ve got to start maturing really, really quick and make those decisions, make the right decisions.”

Good article Steve but 2 things:

1. He's a QLDer

2. The bold part is a tad confusing..

"Meanwhile, Pearce and team-mates say they might have to reign in the fancy attack after being pipped 30-26 by the Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday night."

..kinda ironic Mitchell saying that given that it was JrJr's silly flick pass on tackle zero which many on here credit as the turning point in last saturdays loss !

"The more we get [someone like] BJ on that side [of the field]"

Hopefully it's him learning from his mistakes - which is how people improve.

He didn't flick it. He dummied the pass & as he tried to pull it back in his arm gets hit & the ball comes loose.

Moga was a Bronco fan as a kid which worries me. They would love him up there. We gotta sign this kid to a four year deal. Anyone know how long he is signed for?

i say schubert, horrie's as too ricko' and mini debut's to name a few who all had blinders and went on to become club greats. i wish moga the same and all the best.

imo... it was pretty dumb for Pearce to come out and say this. Sure, it's a show of confidence in the youngster.. but if Moga takes it the wrong way, it's a whole lot of more undue pressure on him to perform. All after one game too

From most of the interviews I have seen of Pearce, he appears to be dumb, so that may explain the surrounding dumbness. Hey, what do I know, I wasnt his 2nd grade teacher when he most likely dropped out of school, its just a rough guess on all the illegible dribble he speaks.
