Pearce Off - a strange perspective

[Andrew Walker]

I don't think that Pearce should play in the traditional halfback's role.

Where do you think he should play Are you suggesting he should play halfback but not play like a traditional halfback Perhaps you are suggesting him as an interchange player Which may have some merit coming on as a replacement for our NO 9

Yeah, let's shuffle the team around and have our half back play as a reserve hooker. Brilliant!

How about you tell us all who you'd pick at seven to beat QLD, or come up with something remotely interesting/constructive. This Pearce crap you bang on about is broken record stuff. We get it, he played shit for the Blues, nobody is saying he was brilliant, but he's pretty damn good for us and that's all that should matter. If you can't see that he's good for Easts you're blind.

Fair go, he must have really done something awful to get you all this upset.

I posted a video of Phil Gould's analysis of Pearce's game. Phil Gould gave constructive criticism of his game. I am now relaying that on. How is that not constructive?

Where have i said he's not good for Easts? I said there are aspects of his game that can be improved in club football. Ie being less frantic, more patient and more composed. How is that not constructive?

I have given constant constructive criticism of his game in the past.


You really don't demonstrate yourself to be too bright do you? Lol

Someone should remind him of Carney's performance in last years series.

Where did i mention Carney?

Where did i suggest Carney should be a suitable replacement?

Carney has choked in big games in the past. Not once was he on my mind to be selected.

A bit random to bring him up don't you think?

Why don't you bring up Soward from 2 years ago whilst you're at it?

Mate go back & read my post & what i was responding to. I was refering to Rothfields comments on Pearces performance. I wasnt talking about or responding to you in way, so just calm down mate.

my apologies

All good mate.

Why not playing him at halfback isnt working for NSW I honestly think for NSW to win next years series Selectors need to think a little outside the square I siad it after game 3 last year and I will say it after game 3 this year Pick Pearce at 7 next year for NSW then we will lose 9 straight for Qld coming up if they do that

I think Pearce as a utitlity substitute would be a good move

I thought you were referring to his position at the roosters not NSW. My bad if that was the case.

Maybe what you suggested for NSW is worth considering, who knows.

We are running 2nd No real need to change anything Apart from getting Pearce to stop klcking the ball into the opposition or his own team mates

Mind you if a direct swap was done with Mortimer and Pearce I dont think we wold lose anything Not that it will happen and nor should it as Pearce has not played badly enough to at club level to warrant this Just an opinion I have on the team though

Cant agree with this at all. I also dont think he's kicking game is anywhere near as bad as you make out, but i suppose if you look hard enough you can always find fault, just like the Mini bashers on here.

Generally he has a kick a game like this Last night he was at his very best and in the 2nd half he managed to do it three times at least The magnificent grubber where he dropped it Another he kicked straight i nto Queensland player in the 2nd half and the one wheer he tried to kick it in goal where we were forunate enough on that occassion to get 6 more

His last club match against Manly here we are 80 seconds to go last tackle all we need is a decent kick Yet he kicks it straight into a Manly player Fortunately Guerra got backed and mopped it up and had he not been there then I think Manly would have scored under the posts and levelled the game

Pearce does some good things but he lets himslef down and undoes all the good work he does do with the diabolical errors he makes pretty much on a weekly basis

Constructive criticism maybe, innovative or interesting it is not, nothing new or ground-breaking there, we've heard all that before.

As for what you said about him at Easts: "Even in club footy it's evident these problems persist; highlighted by hospital passes".

That is just plain bullshit, he is not frantic in club football, we are sitting in second for fuucks sake, and he has played a big role in that. He is not perfect, he is not Andrew Johns, he makes mistakes, and there are areas to improve on, but he is easily one of the better halfbacks going around in the NRL, he runs our side very nicely. There are people on here (not you) saying he makes "diabolical errors" on a "weekly basis" that undo all of his good work (see the post above this one). Pure and simple, that is absolute garbage, if it was remotely true we wouldn't be in second.

There are too many on here who sit back quietly while we win games and as soon as Pearce trips up stick the knives in.

Even PWN has acknowledged that as long as Pearce is good for Easts he's happy; seems that isn't enough for some of you.

I ask you again, tell us all who you would've picked at halfback, and how you'd beat QLD.

I will be happy w hen he eradicates the constant imbecilic errors out of his game Pearce is going fair at club level But you are deluding yourself if you think he will be the driving force and the trump card to us winning the GF this year

SBW is the man for that
