Mitchell Pearce vs Other Halves (stats)

I gather by that comment that you dont think he is that good.

I dont understand your logic. Are you saying that Pearce would be as good as Cronk if he played for the Storm?

Please dont compare Cronk to Pearce. Cronk is a genuine footballer, he can read the play & make the right decision time after time. I dont dislike Pearce or have favourtism for Cronk but those 2 are chalk & cheese.

Cronk is average without the likes of Slater & Smith around him. Something that has been shown up on more than 1 occassion.

To tell you the truth I am losing what faith I did have in Pearce. To think that he plays SOO, it dumb founds me.

I know he doesnt pick himself in FG or for NSW but it amazes me how he escapes any criticism for his below standard performances. He is so out of form that it is embarrassing, honestly he needs a stint at Newtown. All this talk that SOO players lift when they return to the NRL could not be further from the truth with Pearce.

I have been saying for a while that Pearce is still to young but I have come to the conclusion that Pearce will never get any better than what he is now.
On the other hand I have been critical of Friend but I have to say he is trying new things in attack which I think is a positive.
I cant believe the Roosters even got a draw out of that game. The game itself was one of the worst games of footy I have watched the Roosters play this year.

Mickey is your position now that Pearce is not first grade standard?

Really.

Is Pearce better than Cronk or is Cronk better than Pearce? Be honest.

Cronk is being made to look good by the players surrounding him. He got smashed on the weekend. Last time those players were missing we're against us last season and I'm sure you remember that score. Shows how important you need a great fullback and hooker, does Pearce have that? No

Pearce has brain explosions and it's costly but hopefully Maloney takes pressure off him to a degree

Age for age or today - because Cronk has been around a hell of a lot longer than Pearce and is in halfback prime of life.

I still don't think he is better, just more experienced which shows up in key moments.

What it means he has shit service and shit forwards to execute his job well...he can be better ............Id love to have aone on one withy him like in my old days some times its just in their heads -get that right and your half way there.
Cronk is no legend is he ? just a handy half that follows instructions he can t offer any more - he also did nothing in the 3 games except made one good run and kicked the field goal that won the series just Like Fincharelli he is now part of SOO folklore

It also needs to be noted that Cronk and thurston have twice as many games experience which is huge

Is there a stat for stupid?

Would love to see Mitchell Finch's IQ.
