It's official. Pearce is the new Funch.

[Guest]

the short kicks were only part of it.
what about the right foot step close to the line that i have seen 300 times and netted maybe one meat pie?

I really respect that blokes opinion who bansai posted at the start of the year.
The rugby league guru who spends all his time watching games.
He said Mitchells biggest problem is his mind and his inability to stay calm and sustain pressure.
ive watched closely.
I finally see what this bloke means. Go figure.

So whats his new nickname Mitchell Pinch or Mitchell Punch

The perfect nickname for our ditzy halfback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWKCroQr2OY

You are a genius.

That sums up the situation perfectly.

NSW do not have SBW

we do

He has the class to carry us through

[Guest]

And any team we play in the finals will not have Thurston, Cronk, Smith, Slater, Thiaday, Hodges, Scott, Myles, Inglis, etc in it.

Best rugby league team ever assembled. Better than the Australian squad IMO. Hell, it should be the Australian squad!

Had to listen to so much Pearce crap tonight in the crowd... Wish they would've just chucked Reynolds in already so there wasn't any more blues supporters crying about Pearce.

He is good enough to win a premiership with the players around him at the moment, unfortunately, he isn't good enough for Origin when the pressure is on him.

Imo, that choke of a grubber kick which he attempted said it all really. Just not up to it at Origin level

If Pearce is as passionate about the blues as he says he is, he should step down next series if that delusional fwit Daley selects him again

Dude seriously I know you don't like the bloke but to even suggest what you have, that's just loco.

I guess that's what they mean when they say blind hatred, it clouds rational thought.

I'm happy that doesn't enter my void.

I see nothing wrong with it. I see it equal as to claims by others that Mini should step aside for RTS and switch positions with him for the good of the team

And that's just as ludicrous IMO.

Professionals don't have that sorta attitude, and if they develop it it's time to really get out.

Whatever floats your boat though mate, it's all good.

So others are now claiming Mini should over rule the coaching staff team selections now?...

If he thinks it lessens his purported value as it will and should he won't thats for sure.

Pearce's blunders...
*Early in the game drops a ball cold when we were on the attack.
* 54th minute that grubber when we had Queensland on the rack and a line out to the right....Im not sure if that was the last tackle but quite obviously he attempted to grubber the ball for himself to chase, except the ball straight into a Maroon player.
*Later in the game a second botched short kick.
*That pass late in the game that nearly took a support players head off...??ffs learn to remain composed Mitch!

Everyone makes mistakes and I accept that Pearce tries his guts out in most games and then but those 4 were dead set coach killers from supposedly one of the most experienced half's in NSW origin history. He just seems to lack composure and doesn't appear to have time on his side when he has the ball....in other words he doesn't cut it at Origin level.

He is a just solid honest first grade standard half back and has been extremely fortunate to get an extended run at playing Origin.
