Pearce and Matterson! Hastings off the bench.

[ism22]

Nope he's rubbish at it

Yeah I always found that weird. Are there any other halves who can't kick goals? I sorta assumed it came naturally for halves until I saw Pearce trying.

[ism22]

Can anyone explain why Hastings passes the ball about so far away from the opposition? It is not too hard to figure out who is getting the ball, he seems to almost stop and turn it back in with little or no decoy runners. How does he even expect to break the line with the way he plays. I hope he can play better and takes the line on, but from what I've seen, I'm wondering what the fuss is all about.

I dunno... draw them in and make them commit to the tackle so that you've taken a player out?

[The Brain]

but......in his dfence -Yes he shouldve passed it but he made the run and broke the line.....what was the support doing and where were they?.
Inexperienced for sure .......still he is the halfback and players should be tracking him.
He has the class though you can see that .Not quick but can run at the line and through a whole Ive seen him do that plenty and no support to be seen.
The whole team has to have the attitude to enjoy themselves and not stress out so much .I think a few things will be put right against Newcastle .
One major thing is this team has to do is get rid of these lapses .In every game our minds go off the job for about 15 minutes and this is where we have lost most games .Always conceding 12-18 points.

Geez the kid is 20 years old & has been left to run the whole bloody team himself. Finally with Pearce back it will take some of the pressure off Jacko & he can get back into his own game.. Until Matterson played last week the only other person who kicked in general play was Friend & his kicking has been atrocious. I don't remember Nikorima kicking once in all that time nor running plays.

I remember him kicking the ball backwards in the Penrith game losing us about 40m haha

Corey Norman, Kieran Foran, Jarrod Mullen, Cooper Cronk, Michael Morgan, Jeff Robson, Luke Brooks, Josh Reynolds, Dylan Walker, Sam Williams, Blake Austin, Josh McCrone, Luke Keary.

Some of them such as Norman and Walker may have kicked on the odd occasions but they are certainly not recognised kickers

[Daveg]

Hastings to Wyong Roos, thats all i have to say about that.....

[Andrew Walker]

I notice that Andrew Walker has stopped posting the win-loss ratio our club has when Mitchell Pearce has been absent.

It is still abysmal and embarrasing for Pearce weve still won more than half our games since 2007 without him

We won a minor premiership without Sonny Bill Williams as well

What is your point

PS You come across as a 6 year old

I'm not sure if that reflects on Pearce at all but rather the abundance of talent we've had over the past decade.

Most of that bunch kick field goals quite regularly which would indicate they could probably kick goals if required. Pearce had one attempt 10 metres to the left of the posts and missed by 15 metres. Unbelievable nd worrying that a professional footballer playing in the halves would have zero ability to kick a goal. I use to go down to the local field with my mates and we could bang them over from wide out more often than not.

I come across as a 6 year old only to 5 year olds.

What has kicking field goals got to do with kicking goals??? And yeah...can see the similarities between 'banging them over with your mates' and actually kicking a goal in an NRL premiership game.

Corner is a kicker...and a decent one but would be out of practice
