Pearce saved us the game against New Zealand

[Guest]

But Chook....mate....haven't you dumped on mini too from a great height recently?

How about listening to robbo there as well?

Robbo had zero to do with re-signing mini for this year, that was all the previous admins mistake mate.

I'm hoping Robbo has the stones to bite the bullet and shift mini to the wing in favour of RTS at some point this year, especially if mini continues to show the lack of form he has so far. It'll be a massive call for a first year coach to shuffle a 13 year player and club captain out of his favoured position, and it's certain to upset mini's mates in the media, but I'm hoping Robbo makes the call for the good of the team.

Chook.

This is a an opinion site, not a coaches press conference

Every club has players who polarise the supporters, and supporters are entitled to voice their views. The difference, I believe, is in those who would either deathride a player and hope he fails so as to be able to come on here and say "See, I told you", or overlook it when said player actually goes ok. I'm a stringent critic of Mini's, but every week I go into the game hoping he will prove me wrong. Sadly, he rarely does. But I'll be hoping again on Saturday. Should he produce another shocker, and if he retains his position all season by producing shockers and denies the team the opportunity to have a 1 who contributes, then I think I'm entitled to be annoyed about that.

As for Pearce, his critics are entitled to expect more from the guy who plays in perhaps the most important position on the field, especially after 100+ first grade games. If he does happen to improve, and there's way more chance of that happening than there is with Mini, I hope they're actually happy about it

That's a great post and I agree with you.

My issue is with the select few who seem to get enjoyment when certain players play poorly and that's crap!
Also, everyone having a different opinion is great, it makes for good discussion. But as far as I'm concerned, posting "Pearce is sh*t" and different variations without any further analysis on every possible thread they can manage is not much of an opinion.

You summed it up best when you said... I go to the game every week hoping they all play well, that's support!

So much written about JnrJnr. For me its quite simple. Is he the best player in the world...No. Is he the worst 1/2 going around ..no.
So much was expected from this fella at such an early age that it is highly unlikely that he will ever meet many peoples expectations.
His game has critical weaknesses; ATM general kicking, seeking repeat sets and prone to trying to things too quickly. He does do some things very well, is the incumbent NSW 1/2, is as tough as they come, tackles well. has speed and does have a real go. Guarantee we wont lose a game because of his lack of trying.
What he does desperately need is a coach that can work with him to get the most out of his game. I do see see him improving but gradually not overnight.
Other halves going around have their pluses and minuses too. Mitchell is part of a team and a valuable contributor. He is not a future captain in my opinion, that needs to rest with some of the brighter players such as Kennedy, Cordener or MAubs.
Not everyone is a JT or Cam Smith but he is better than most.
So punters take the good with the bad. I think there is much more good than bad in MP.

Mate why "bite" don't you realize some of the blokes on here are just fishing to fire youse up???

Also everyone has their way of showing support. You see it at games everywhere every week. Some are reserved and watch showing little emotion, some get excited and deflated with the ebb and flow of the game and some stand there yelling abuse at everyone from the Chairman to the ballboys. The Internet forum is no different.

I personally guarantee Maubsworstnightmare and Raymond LOVE the club as much as you do. They have been supporters longer than I guess you've been alive. They just are blunt and to the point With their opinions.

They have seen a lot of Easts sides and are just frustrated at not getting the result. Their way of showing it and blowing off a bit of steam is to come here and vent.

You don't have to worry about them if you don't like them. In all honesty none of our opinions really matter.

Personally I love seeing you all fire up. It's so lemming it's giving me a stiffy.
