Mitchell Pearce re-signs?

[Guest]

Cronk proved in the GF the importance of the half

I hope super boy can realise his potential from now, good luck to him

He's got all he needs around him to execute

This. There's no more excuses.

We should have thrown everything at Cronk: houses, boats, calves' blood, whatever he wanted.

In Perrett's defence, wasn't he told he could negotiate elsewhere? Its not as if we wanted to keep him and he walked away.

Sammy was gutted when we told him to look elsewhere.He wanted to go stay a life time Rooster...

[Guest]

That takes him to 10+years with the club ...then a part salary cap exemption

The veterans allowance of $200k kicks in after 8 years service Hawkeye.
Mitch is eligable for this in 2015,providing Mini is not still with us...

Nice work Mack.

Now get Evans and Moga tied up long term and we will be set.

[Ray Stehr]

Let's see if he can finally justify all of these contract extensions.

Stop defending Perrett. He's up there with Shane Wherat, Todd Byrne and Michael Appleby as one of the worst wingers to ever embrace our club.

I find it hard to share the enthusiasm of everyone else, I'm sorry.

This is a crazy deal for a kid who has had an exalted ride through his career on the back of his last name.

I still don't think he's proven himself as a top-of-the-line halfback.

Can you ever recall him taking a game by the scruff of the neck, picking the team up when it's down and inspiring a victory? Or even just patches of consistent form?

I hope he comes good and I know he's only young still but that's a massive deal if what he dishes up over the next five years is what we've seen over the past five years.

Who is your better alternative?

[Thirteen]

Where are you blokes who insisted he was going to Saints, Manly or the Dogs???
All gone into hybernation have you.
Is anyone going to be man enough to say "I was wrong?".
I may need to go into archive threads and shame you all one by one.

Go on, do it. I'm sure we can all use a good laugh.

Ive heard plenty of people say that pearce is 'all name, no game'. If this is the case then why is mortimer straggling in reserves? He has a more prestigious surname so shouldn't he be in first grade somewhere?
Pearcey has a lot of talent and a lot of heart... I will admit that he struggles to dominate when the team really needs him to. But there are only a rare few who can in this comp. Even Marshall and Johnson, who many on here rate highly struggle to take the game by the scruff of the neck and close out matches. That is not to say they aren't great halves though...

[theGman]

What a sad week it's been for St Merge with the realisation that they've missed out on Bellamy & Pearce.........my heart bleeds for the supporters .

Doom and gloom ahead for the redV!!!

Did you not see Marshall go missing on Saturday night? He rarely steps up when needed to IMO
