Help is on its way…

If its true its funny how he didn't want to play #14 for us in 2018, but is happy to now. Cost himself a couple of premiership rings

I don't see what Mitch Pearce adds to the side at this point. Reeks of desperation. So far we have signed the likes of:

- Nathan Brown - who couldn't get a run in Parra's side and took 6 weeks to get a run in our side.

- Jaxson Paulo - played a handful of games and has now been dropped to ressies and likely to leave the club

- Renouf Atoni - journeyman career Cup player who was on our books for 2+ years without playing a minute.

- Dylan Napa - hasn't played NRL for years, was awful when he last played. Hasn't had a sniff of action in firsts since returning.

- Kevin Naiqama - say no more.

- Corey Allan - say no more.

You would struggle to find a worse list of recruitments in recent years so the Pearce rumor fills me with no confidence. Especially at 34 and he left his last club in disgrace and out of form for rooting the physio's missus or whatever it was. And Robbo freely admits he is solely in charge of the recruitment... yikes.

Let's add in the fact we have the walking liability Victor Radley signed to a ridiculously long contract despite him missing half the season with suspension and we allowed a teenage mercenary who is underperforming to enable a year extension but walk away from us for Union.

Our shiny mystique has worn off in the past year or so.

Our cap has been consumed on expensive stars like Teddy, Luke,Manu ,Chrichton, etc leaving a smaller pot for backup players. Unfortunately when the stars underperform, and the cheapest turn out to be duds we have a season like this!

Pearce knocked back $750 K per on a 2 year contract at the Tigpies, I wouldn't pay half that for him as a14., and I'd only make it one year.

[The Thracian]

Cool, hope he should fit in really well playing Reggie, hopefully elsewhere, maybe WOy WOy Roosters, bringing this twat back would turn a disastrous season into a steaming pile of crap

[Danish]

I just can’t fathom why they think this is necessary

[HunchoRooster]

Even more baffling apparently it's for next year when he'll be 35... the farrrk.

Good news, Buzz reports:

PEARCE SET FOR ROOSTERS RETURN

Mitchell Pearce is now looking more than likely to be rejoining the Sydney Roosters next year.

Not in a role that is any threat to Sam Walker, who is expected back from a knee injury in two weeks.

Walker is still seen as the club’s long-term half despite being dropped four weeks ago.

Pearce, who is now 34, last played at the Roosters in 2017. He is seen as an ideal number 14 off the bench.

As we circle the toilet bowl more and more

For me Conno Watson is a good no14

Pearce was heavily criticised while he was here for not taking us to the next level. I can’t see how he’ll be any better at age 35.

I was wondering what you'd say about this...surprisingly subdued response

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Because Watson is injury prone and Hutch offers f-all.

The more I think about it, the more I don't mind it. For the right money a 1 year deal, where he plays a Daniel Mortimer 2013 style role could be handy
