I do think however that Storm boy has had the luxury inside a pretty serious outfit for a very long time and has not once been exposed to anything outside his QLD or Melb (which is pretty much QLD anyway) partners. It would be interresting to see the two current Origin halves in the opposite sides. I wonder in which direction the criticism would be directed?
And Pearce hasn't had the luxury of being in a damn good team?
I mean he was halfback in a team which won the premiership in 13, Minor Premiers in 2014 and 2015 plus 2nd spot in 2017. Pearce has also had the luxury of playing in a pretty darn good team for 4 out of the past 5 years. In some years (between 2013-2015) probably the equal of most of the Storm line-ups.

Exactly! So he has enjoyed exactly the same amount of success at club level as Storm boy since 2013. In fact, probably more as you forgot to mention the minor premiership in 2013.
Great point, Thanks!
Oh, btw guys, the reference to me calling him Storm boy is not trying to make fun of him or be disrespectul. I'm just trying lighten it up with a nickname and mix it up as every thread is CRONK this and CRONK that. I like Storm boy. It's dirfferent from just hearing CRONK all the time.

Hahaha....
Don't mind the reference to Storm Boy, a quintessential Aussie hero, I loved the movie when I was a little grommet.

Isnt this forum a form of social media? Yet here you are reading and posting Go Figure
Nice try and touche
Yeah, but no. Internet forums and newsgroups were around decades before the term social media existed. Bulletin boards audiences are more local/specialised, and we sure do have our own little circle jerks, but nothing like the nightmare of Facebook/Twitter etc.
But I think you knew that.

Sorry but comparing stats of Pearce playing for us to stats for Cronk playing for the storm is ridiculous purely on the fact that both players have different needs within their teams. Cronk may not feel the need to have to do some things Pearce does because he is also organising the next play... You can also compare stats of who has represented in SOO of origin and won and who has represented for the Kangaroos.... I'm sure that if you had the 'Ultimate' stats on both player...Cronk will always come out ahead...
We will have the pleasure of seeing how good he is first hand. Looking forward to it.
