Its the halves job to create the opportunities (we are making the linebreaks so obviouisly its not an issue) and the outside backs responsibility to finish it off. Maybe we should be barrating Tupou, RTS, Jennings and SKD instead. But that probably would make too much sense.
The grand irony is that on the one hand you have pearce who has done some good things but is a little rushed at times and not quite making the right decision every time but being prosecuted; yet on the other hand you have jennings who like pearce is doing some good things but has bombed more tries than he has produced yet he is being touted as a saviour. Amazing how 2 players with the same issue (decision-making and execution) are being given completely different treatment on here. Both the same age and with the same rep regimes and experience.
The newbies are all shiney and excused for making the exact same errors as the blokes who have been part of the furniture for seasons.
Imagine SKiD had bombed the same amount of tries AV had so far??? Someone would've been on the grassy knoll outside the SFS.
I've watched Baloney fluff as many kicks as Pearce in our 3 outings, different types of kicks, but just as important at the time. But he's new so it's ignored.
Gush.
The FlogPen .
You know it makes sense.

I have been watching Pearce over the years, and while yes he is no Thurston or Cronk. He is a good first grade half and it wouldn't surprise me in the next two to three years that he will be part of a premiership here at the Roosters.
I think the stats are encouraging as the team will take time to gel and even though we are turning over the pill all too often...TR will drum into the boys better ball security and hopefully with more possession Pearce will not feel all too rushed every time we get into the oppositions 20m zone.
Also as per earlier posts the high tackle count made and low misses means that the attitude within the playing group is excellent and they are working hard for each other.
The linebreaks made stat is also encouraging. While we are not having many converted into tries ATM..IMHO this will improve as we go further into the season as combinations develop. I am not expecting a premiership or a GF berth this season but it wouldn't surprise me if we go far into the finals possibly a prelim final.Originally posted by boogie
