It's official. Pearce is the new Funch.

[Chook Norris]

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

ummmmm yes.

i take it you've been living under a rock

[Johnny.]

Nothing Pearce does seems natural. Freddy made everything look like it was done with hours to spare. Pearce looks like he's doing things after overthinking them.

Pressure should be on Maloney. Unsighted all game. Pearce doesnt make the grade, but Maloney is even more average.

Freddy is once in a life time player that clubs dream of having, why continue to make the comparison?!

I dont think he is comparing the two players There is no comparison to make One is a legend of the game The other a a slightly better than average 1st garde halfback whos skills woiuld be better utilized coming off the bench as a replacement for Friend The point I think he is making is great players particularly halves seem to do things naturally I agree with Johnnys observation in that Pearce does not seem to do things naturally

But how many halves in our game can do that?

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

Great question.

One. Thurston.

Certainly not the mug from Souths, he's not done anything yet to convince me he's much better than Pearce.

I wanted someone else to answer it though :P

Agreed, Reynolds only has a short kicking game but the push is certainly on for him to take over.

Cronk Thurston young Kelly from the Titans Carney spring straight to mind without having to think to hard

Cronk is a manufactured player playing alongside the same blokes at club and state level.

Kelly and Carney can hardly stay off the lash long enough to string two games together.

And a speed hump in defence. Right up there with Sandow.
He would need a minder in SOO.

Cronk has always done a good enough job of taking the line on with a dummy and getting through Mind you Pearce has been afforded that same apportunity now three times at state level with a NO 6 being picked from the same club to accompany him

Kelly is a natural and your comment about Carney is ridiulous Despite his obvious issues He has been around carving up other sides snice about 2006 now

Not calling for him to play SOO He is a natural though attack wise

Attack wise, brilliant. No argument.

Take slater and smith out, cronk has gotten smashed, and if I recall twice by Pearce during that time. Invalid argument imo.

Once again in origin he is playing behind those same blokes.

Carney is a creative player yes but can't organise the team and if he does it takes away from his brilliance, why he hasn't reached the heights he did in 2010.
