Gould on Pearce today

[Bansai Pipeline]

A lot's been said about Pearce on here over the years.

But no one's said it better than whoever called him Mitchell Finch.

Spot on.

NRL 360 has Pearce @ #5 of all the halves after 2rnds based on KPI's

[Guest]

Thanks Bansai, I needed a really good laugh today.

Ray Stehr... I'd recommend you never be in the same room as another member by the name of Alex. The conversation between the two of you would be so sad, you'd both probably drive each other to end your sorry selves.

You can get on your knees for Pearce all you like, the bloke is average at best & is probably one of the worse kicking 7's in the NRL at the moment, Rynolds is at least working for his team. Any other team with our roster will not be struggling to beat a washed out NZ side cause our halfback does jackshit on the 5th, Stay on your knees

A roster that has played two NRL games together, and with a new coach?

You have more spin than an Indian Cricketer.

Continue On it is quite amusing

Says the bloke who claims he was never wrong about Soward, just that religion and SOO ruined his career.

You're dead set full of it.

Yes I saw that. What makes it more interesting was the other 4 players were Cronk, Marshall, Thurston and Carney. For me pretty much the best halves going around so while it's only after two rounds the ratings do have some credibility.

Also most times you see these "ratings" or "KPI's" Pearce is always in the top 4-5 halves in the league.

Interesting stuff. Rusty and RC comment please.

Every year their is a new excuse, just bite the bullet & admit Pearce needs to review his game from him to improve, he needs more patience, he needs to stop trying to go for the super plays on every 5th. No doubt he has talent, is fast & is strong, he has more natural ability then most 7s, but he needs to think more.

I would like to see Pearce at hooker, on the bench with Jake to start

Mortimer the half

I agree Pearce has to improve, and I'm hoping this happens under Robinson and Taylor. I certainly do t think it is as dire as Ray and PWN suggest. But to make comments regarding our roster not being able to beat the warriors convincingly two weeks into playing together is ridiculous.

Reynolds has shown more skill in that 25 games than Pearce has in his whole career.

Do you have a picture of Reynolds on your bedside table too?

I don't think many doubt Pearce's ability or skillset given how often he features near the top of NRL stats for halves. His ability to apply consistent pressure or take the correct option at the right time however is what most can see he lacks.

Not much more to say really, only that Pearce is probably the worst 7 I've ever seen in a Roosters jumper, maybe a 50/50 with Brad Burke.
