Pearce on the move

[Mickie Lane]

What does "flog" mean?

The true version of the word flog is
"Manly supporters worried we will try and lure Pearce back when Cronk retires in 2 years,hence why he is only signing for 2 years with them".
Its in the Lydon dictionary.

[Flipper Hands]

Malaka you Malaka!

LOL, that one I know, makes sense. Not sure what I did to deserve being called one.

[Hawkeye]

You couldn't ask for a better outcome. Everybody's happy.

Except King Salvo !

[Darkone]

Not sure who that was directed at - I'll assume me. Good for you for trotting out a couple unoriginal standard soundbites.

As for Pearce being mediocre for us, he certainly wasn't. He just wasn't as good as you wanted him to be. He played 200+ games, and won plenty for us, no amount of "get over it" from you will change my mind about his poor treatment by a group of "fans".

True give credit where it's due

the club deserves credit for supporting him through his misdemeanors

the fans deserve credit for forgiving his poor game management

the RSPCA deserve credit for not serving AVO's on behalf of poodles

& I deserve credit for not once bitching about his invisibility when the team needed him most.

[Hawkeye]

Wonder if we end up with Junior Paulo now. Would love Campbell-Gillard but Gus isn't that stupid

bring in one Junior to replace another !

I say thank you Mitchell for your decade of service and wish him well for the future.
Now time to move on, sure up Keary and Latrell's contracts with the extra $$'s and hopefully go in search of a big boppa.

Now bring on 2018 !

Well played

Just having a laugh,the word can be used in jest as well as being offensive .

[Ray Stehr]

Sanity prevails.

[Johnny Tobin]

Best result for us. I hope he does well there.

[Ray Stehr]

He wouldn't have won a comp if SBW didn't play half for him.

Or Maloney.

[The Thracian]

I can’t believe the hate coming out of this place for a bloke who has played 200+ games for us
its crazy, the bloke gave everything on the field for this club, sure he was no superstar but he was not a shit player.

I keep hearing how how he never stood up in the preliminary final but THE WHOLE TEAM was ordinary.
Hes never been a halfback that carries the team, he’s been a half that compliments the players around him.

I hope ole were not expecting a premiership on the back of Cronk as I don’t think he is the player to deliver us one, not at this stage of his career. Let’s remember the caliber of players he has had around him in key roles throughout his whole career

I was was never a massive fan but I accepted the fact he was who he was, a good first grade halfback.

Cronk may bring a professional attitude to the club but let’s remember the core group have just seen one of there best mates virtually pushed out.

the benefit of Cronk may not been seen in 2 years but when Lam and O’sullivan Become regular first graders as there’s no doubt they will learn more from Cronk then they would Pearce.

Good luck Junior, thankyou for giving your all week in week out for our club

You are obviously another fanboy that does not read things, 1 nor anyone of his many detracters, questioned his committment on field, that was never an issue, his ability to step up when it counted was non existant, what is worse is his bullshit carry on off the field, he is 27. not a kid and treated the club, his team mates, the fans and the sponsors with contempt on many occasions. This is what i disliked about the bloke more than anything

Dont know how you did it, betetr man than most lol

[Mickie Lane]

Or Maloney.

Or Minichello, Tupou, Jennings, SKD, RTS, JWH, Friend, Moa, Guerra, Cordner, FPN, Mortimer, Aubusson & O'Donnell.

[Flipper Hands]

the club deserves credit for supporting him through his misdemeanors

Be honest with yourself, those misdemeanours were media beat ups.

the fans deserve credit for forgiving his poor game management

Harsh, no question he wasn't "the best", but to call him poor shows you don't watch the lesser halves with the same eyes.

the RSPCA deserve credit for not serving AVO's on behalf of poodles

See above, how did that become a scandal, and Kiwi players snorting coke gets a pass?

& I deserve credit for not once bitching about his invisibility when the team needed him most.

He wasn't invisible at all, how many clutch plays went his way that he failed to execute on. I also doubt you never bitched about it.

Maybe try a little rationale, objective thinking (duh, its the internet, what am I saying?). e.g. Go look at the stats on nrl.com between Cronk and Pearce for last year, Pearce out points Cronk in almost every area.
Discuss.

I acknowledge I can't change your mind on him, and that's fine. Just try to argue with facts instead of emotion. If you are trolling, that's fine too You got me.

[Lydon]

Ahh - ok. I guess that makes you one?

And LOL at the Manly conspiracy theories that's hilarious.

Happy to be called one mate as I’m not a fan..
