Pearce being a good defender is a total and proven myth..
Even the statistics prove it
Effective Tackles
Daly Cherry-Evans (Sea Eagles) 88.1%; Jeff Robson (Sharks) 87%; Kris Keating (Bulldogs) 86.1%; Ben Hornby (Dragons) 85.9%; Cooper Cronk (Storm) 82.8%; Ray Thompson (Cowboys) 81.8%; Peter Wallace (Broncos) 81.7%; Adam Reynolds (Rabbitohs) 80.9%; Josh McCrone (Raiders) 80.5%; Tom Humble (Wests Tigers) 80.2%; Mitchell Pearce (Roosters) 79.9%; Luke Walsh (Panthers) 74.8%; Tyrone Roberts (Knights) 74.1%; Scott Prince (Titans) 71.6%; Shaun Johnson (Warriors) 71.2%; Benji Marshall (Wests Tigers) 70.9%; Chris Sandow (Eels) 70%.
And before the excuse "but ohh he makes a lot of tackles for a halfback" is thrown up, i'd rather he make less tackles, and effectives ones at that which is all that is required, and perform his role as a halfback
