Yes i did say 'organising' but as keggs beat me to it, I meant leave the organising to someone else. SBW took charge when things weren't happening. I hope that explains things?
There's a tendency on this forum to re-write history to suit the agenda,that's kind of what I'm getting at here.
Like Keggs who can recall in vivid detail 2 of the 3 tries in our GF comeback but then dismisses one all together... for what reason?

I get your the "Big Dog" here because your admin and have the freedom and power to say and do whatever you want, as you seem to do so often, especially in defense of Ju Ju, so I will hazard a guess your related or just a dedicated Pearce groupie, cool congratulations.
Here are some simple facts that I would like to point out.
i have heard for years as has everyone else Pearces strengths as a player are his Kicking Game, His organizational skills and his defense, I may not agree but that is what the experts have been saying.
please tell me which of these areas has improved in his 10 yr 200 games in the top flight?
i don't want the excuses oh but this guy did this, this guy did that etc etc, Pearce has had the best coaches available, so surely some individual improvement should be evident even if those around him are underperforming.
Secondly his weaknesses have been identified by the experts as, does not run the ball enough or at the right time, he panics and has no plan b, he has limited creativity and he goes missing in the big games, which of these has he improved on?
I do not necessarily agree with all the experts opinions, I have noticed in previous posts you seem to think they have a lot of credibility due to their standing in the game ( when it suits your argument ) that is.
I have and I think everyone else has too accept the fact that Pearce is here to stay, love him or loathe him, Friend is here to stay love him or loathe him and under Robbo watch that is how it will remain
cheers

Re Pearce and SBW 2013. No comparison between the two on talent or dedication. Uncle Nick said it best championing SBW's influence on the whole team. Compare that to Pearce's influence on Nikorima, Copley etc as soon as they came to town in 2016. So it's a joke to compare the two other than to say no SBW in 2013 = no premiership. Cronk has similar dedication and again there's no comparison.

Pearce has the liability to switch off. After SOO this year same shit. Affects the team monumentally. He was playing pretty good till then.
Our team has erratic all season simply because our coach has it in him and so does Friend and Pearce.
You look back to 20013 and I will say SBW, Maloney, Sam Moa and jennings were our big game players. This year probably the missing links.Tedesco is a goer he will make a difference next year.
Our forwards also have to pick it up on a consistant bases.
Give new blood a go, blood in Collins and Radley they can renew the hungerTwo things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe

But we all know that too was a stitch up - just like the stats. Stats should have new categories such as number of failures to get repeat sets etc...Last edited by Louis N; 10-02-2017, 10:10 AM.

Next year NRL squads have been increased to 36 - 30 NRL players and 6 Development players allowable under the Cap- be interested to see what this 36 player squad will look like as we are short in a few positions in depthLast edited by King Salvo; 10-02-2017, 10:45 AM.
