That wasn't mocking, that was what I was thinking at the time but I let it go then... I tend not to get involved in someones else's argument... I've offered enough 'rebuttal' in the past to show how Pearce is not as good as some here make him out to be. I'm not going to throw stats to prove a point when I know that a single factor stat is meaningless. Any psych grad could tell you that. I will throw this though...How filthy was Andrew Johns when Mitchell failed at SOO...again...? All that work, coaching and expectation...and nothing!!! That's what we have been thinking too lately. I think you can be a little condescending with other posters with your OTT analysis of a missed tackle. Do you give other players like Guerra that much leniency when they missed a tackle? Do you support Friend when gets criticised by many here? Which goes back to my question, why are you a staunch defender of Pearce and hardly hear you say anything in support of others?
I talk about Pearce a lot, but that's because the forum talks about Pearce a lot. My posts are not disproportionate to what the forum is talking about. My opinion just stands out more because I'm in the minority.
As for not 'supporting' any other players you can go read my posts on Boyd Cordner when people wanted him punted because he shared a house with Toddy Carney, my posts on Isaac Liu when plenty wanted him dropped this season, my posts on JWH this year when plenty have questioned his value, Dylan Napa, Ryan Matterson... it's not about supporting players it's about stating what I believe to be fact.

If we signed Cronk for 1-2 seasons at the expense of Pearce, it would be Politis's single greatest piece of recruitment of all time.
Cronk would be the best halfback to ever play for the Roosters. He is is the ultimate in consistency and cool headedness. When the pressure is on, he just gets better. His defining characteristic is being able to make the right decision when it counts. In short, he is the anti-Pearce.
Given he is already moving to Sydney for 2018, it would make sense that he will wind up working for/playing for somebody. I see no reason why that couldn't be us. The only stumbling block in all honesty will be trying to find a club willing to take Pearce off our hands at full freight. I suppose there are a few clubs dumb enough to take him on, but there wouldn't be any interest from the top clubs.

From what i seen Faamausilli and Gray are better now and looking further ahead than Collins, Collins runs the ball hard but is as soft as Shillo in defence

Would Gronk give 100% to a Sydney team full of NSW rep players?
Also, would he add stability when the ball he’s getting isn’t as clean, he’s having to cop direct hits on his body on a regular basis and he’s having to do defensive kicks to get us out of trouble rather than lining up drop goals (with blockers being penalised, so having to stand behind him) and attacking kicks when his team’s already got the wood on the opposition?
He’s never played under pressure, he hates NSW and he’s never played with any of our boys. He’s just trying to get one final pay cheque for 1-2 years then he has been promised a lifetime job with the Storm. I wouldn’t wanna go near him, especially if it meant losing one of our current halves.
