When did we re-sign Finch?????

[Guest]

Finch was actually good for a while.
Remember when he kicked that field goal in the 04 grand final. He played Origin as well so he was good at some stage.

We lost that Grand Final

I also remember when he told the fans to kiss his arse in an interview
I remember when he told Fitzy to get farked in a game against Canberra
I remember all those passes that hit row z and forced the club to rejig it's insurance and add a clause that read " injury to fans due to errant Finch passes.
I remember a drop goal attempt that hit the corner post
I remember him kicking into touch with 1 min left and us behind by 4.

He may have squeezed some good stuff in their somewhere.

The best thing he ever done was sign for Parra

If DCE was a NewSouthWelshman it would be Mitchell who? When came to the NSW half back.In fact those idiot selectors should have picked Maloney at half and Carney at six.

It's funny you said that Ghost in today's paper they had both players stats this year.

Despite the fact DCE has played 2 more games than Pearce. Pearce has scored more tries, made 3 times as many line breaks, has double the line break assists, more try assists and double the offloads. Yet DCE is suppose to be more "creative" than Pearce. Also think of the team DCE is in as well.

I think if anyone went through the stats for all halves Pearce would be in the top 5 in quite a few of those areas mentioned.

I'm not saying Pearce is perfect but FFS he isn't the cause of our problems. I sat there today and watched sets of 6 on their line where forwards would drop the ball before the 2nd tackle. Some of them Pearce would touch the ball once. Other times Mini was standing in front of him at first receiver, MINI FFS the guy that can't pass or kick.

As I said Pearce isn't perfect he still has shit in his game he has to stop doing but he is the only one of our play makers who is decent.

Thank Christ there are people on here with a brain.

Bring back Carnage. They were magic together. Rothfield is #1 on my shit list for pushing his agenda on us and stealing him

Politis should be #1 for falling for it.

I would like to point out to you that DCE is in his 2nd year of first grade where Pearce is in his 5th.DCE already has a premiership and test jersey,What do the stats say about that? Vasco Im not here for my farking brains it's my beauty you pahero.

Problem is he will probably step up in Origin and be lauded as the best player of the series. He is fast becoming the new Myles. Shit for us but solid at rep level.

Hope he does not crap in a hotel corridor too

Cracking ball for the try BJ bombed and for Moga's try and 1 bad pass gets a thread lol.

you're right pwn no agenda, didn't think he was good by any stretch of the imagination but his passing game was the least of his worries.

I agree, great pass to Moga. Pity ANASTA threw it.

Pearce was ****ing embarrassing today. He retreats into his shell and plays like a little bitch whenever he fronts up against his drinking buddy Foran (who was laughing at him for most of the game after countless errors).

That doesn't even take into account his absolutely pathetic efforts on Williams all game, which forced a mid-half change up swapping BJ and Moga to allow Leilua to act as a minder for superboy

Only a blind fool would think Pearce played well today

Sorry yeh you're right, there was a second one I just can't recall to who. Haven't watched the replay yet.

And who said Pearce played well? Pretty lol worthy if anyone did...

[crikey chris]

Knowing our luck, Pierceofshit will have a blinder in game three of Origin lol

Very Finchesque today.

Lol Even his mate Kieren Foran looked embarrased for him after one of his Finchesque passes!

[Guest]

To blame pearce is clutching at straws IMO.

FFS the Dogs are second with Kris Keating at halfback!

The pass to BJ who set up Perrett's try is the one you're thinking of. It was a beauty

Finch was forever in the top 5 for try assists, linebreak assists etc at well. Because of this it took a while for some roosters fans to see he was average as well. It comes from being the centre of any and all attacking plays and handling the ball a lot (same reason why Gallen runs for 200m most games. Its not super human, he just hogs the ball)

Pearce is an average half, who will usually give you a 6 or a 7 each week. He'll stretch it to an 8 a couple times a year, and will sprinkle in a half dozen 2s or 3s like yesterday. He'll never put in a 0, and he'll NEVER produce a 9 or 10.

He is a middle of the road player, and thats fine. The only issue I have with him is that we pay him marquee money for his services

Finch also had mini in his prime and wing who was a wonderful hooker, not to mention arguably a great forward pack. Is it really the same? Until we get everything right, especially the spine of the team, yes those are they type of performances we can expect.

You know who needs world class players around them to make them look good?

Average players.

Unfortunately when you pay average players marquee money, you leave little in reserve to actually attract those world class players to your club.
