Hysteria Breaks Out

[Johnny.]

If Pearce had been paid a thousand dollars for every repeat set he got in his 10 years at halfback, he'd be down at Centrelink not heading up the M1.

I’ve always stated that I support whoever plays for the roosters but I support the club and the team even if I’m not in favour of any decision they make. With the Cronk signing how can I even contemplate it as a bad move? He’s the best (arguably) half and to have him play for us is a coup we should be thankful for. we should be thankful to uncle Nick for what he has done for our beloved team. If Pearce wants to go I’d say goodbye and thank you , hope you reach the potential you were expected to reach 5-6 years ago. Roosters for life.

OMR, i'm as passionate about the roosters as anyone. At 65 years of age, I have been going to rooster games for 50 years, and probably watched nearly everyone of those games ! But for me the roosters are more than a club name and a jersey. The players actually mean something to me. When players want to leave or are performing really poorly, say like a Julian Bailey, I get it that replacement players are sought. I just think big time sport has become pretty soulless when a long term good player is pushed out, I feel the clubs ruthlessness is pretty callous. Now Cronk is on board I will of course hope he performs well. I got to say when the roosters signed Anasta, Vautin and fulton in years gone by, players I had hated in the opposition, I was equally unhappy with their signatures. Freddy was different, he wasn't the heart and soul of Penrith but a player still on the rise. Its interesting how forgiving all rooster supporters who bag Pearce's antics, forgave Freddy for being drunk and shirtless on the footpath near a police station during his time with us !

Freddy was a shocker but those were much different times.

I'm sure the club would have cut him after the dog rooting incident if we had a suitable replacement. I reckon he was always on borrowed time from this date, until a better option became available.

I will miss Pearce's passing game close to the line.

Phew! I thought this post was because of the gay marriage yes vote.

So let me see if I got this right Brain ? Early last year, sometime in 2016 , someone told you he would be flicked at the end of 2017. But the roosters gave him a 2 year extension on contract on February 22 , 2017 ! Whose having a lend of who Brain? As Pauline would say 'please explain " !.guaranteed...

Check the Roosters Facebook where they made the announcement. You would think the Roosters shot Bambi.

LOL. Wow. I don't use Facebook, as what started out as an uplifting place during a work day slowly, for me anyway, turned into scrolling through relentless ranting and moaning, or blowhards! We all love a rant, but FFS threats about memberships and throwing toys out of the pram over players leaving..... its mental. Wonder how many of these folks felt after the Cows game ? Straight on facebook congratulating the players for a great run? Happy with the mediocrity ?? Participation trophy ??

Lol DH.... Yeah they did and someone on here cant remember had also posted it... You should know by now that clubs change their stance on players constantly..... The players are their own worst enemies. Obvoiusly this club has been after a replacement. Quick fix.

If Pearce had managed to win us a few more games off his own bat people might have been more forgiving. Freddie might have been a party boy but he still performed for us time and time again
