He is probably close to the fastest in the club too .We dont get too see that.
he can make the changes step by step square up in attack as the way he stand s you know where the ball is going and him for that matter ... a little more depth would help.
His support play is non existant and in a team with a few ball players he should be bopping up every where.
Ive seen him play a s a young bloke with the u20's etc and he was dynamite he would run that ball and they couldnt catch him .
He right now needs a good mentor .Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe

Originally posted by tony the wheel View Posteven the first 10 or 20 would be good. His problem is also his footwork, which is poor. He has a telegraphed, slow, step and for some reason he seems to stumble when he tries to take the line on. I'm happy to give him time under the new coach and to give him the benefit of the doubt re Brian Smith etc etc, but if he hasn't really improved by the 2nd half of this season then I don't reckon he ever will
I keep saying Pearce's problems are between the ears, he has the talent. Every coach that has worked with him club or rep love him and don't forget Des has tried to poach him more than once. So he must have something there.
Like I said above the problem is he gets flustered easily and makes stupid decisions under pressure. Which to be honest is probably exactly what you don't want as a halfback.
Big year for him. The excuses are gone if he doesn't improve I will be calling for his head too.

Originally posted by Stumpy View PostI am convinced that one change would greatly change his game.
He has to play more patiently and more methodically. Play one off but go back a metre. Too many
He rushes everything. He doesn't build pressure for us. We make their 20 and every team and all of us know it will be a bomb out wide to wingers who always get beaten to the ball.
The good halfbacks play with time - Thurston, Cronk, Cherry Evans, Alfie, Johns,
No more flat hospital passes. Creativity ....... please.
