Thanks for your input Wayne.Originally posted by BlindFreddy View PostI am struggling to believe what I am reading.
The hate for Pearce on here is absurd.
Suggesting we would be better off with reserve graders like Kheirallah and Mortimer, nuffies like Riley Jacks or even backrowers like Taikarangi in our halves is absolutely ludicrous.
It is funny, because Pearce has over the years been compared and contrasted most often with two players: Soward (because he was at the club) and Sandow (because he was at Souffs).
Soward had one good year under Bennett, who knew how to play to Jamie's strengths and hide his considerable deficiencies. He now has struggled to hold down a first grade spot and is playing ordinary footy.
Sandow is pathetic. Up there with Anasta as the biggest waste of money in this league. He might score a flukey try here and there but the majority of his decision making is abonimable - and he achieves this mediocrity even with world class support in the spine (Hayne). The Eels ladder position speaks for itself - it's a tough job being worse than we are.
Now that Pearce's main two "competitors" (in my mind, they never were) have fallen off, we turn to our own bloody reserve graders, and claim they are better than Mitchell. I guess you blokes take comfort in the fact that you'll never be proven wrong because these nuffies will never play first grade, and you can just claim if Pearce hadn't have been here they would have killed it.
Deadset, one of the only guys in our club who puts in, one of the few who deserves a better finish and better support than he gets and will get, and we bag the shit out of him. Unbelievable.

No one has actually said that in their posts. We were only mentioning possibilities if Pearce went to the drags.Originally posted by BlindFreddy View PostI am struggling to believe what I am reading.

7 Maloney-6 Mortimer
7 Mortimer-6 Maloney
7 Kheirallah-6 Maloney
7 Maloney-6 Symonds
7 Maloney-6 Takairangi
7 Jacks-6 Maloney
7 Maloney-6 Littlejohn
They are just suggestions, if you have others let us know.
I tend to believe the Roosters would be better off without him & Anasta, again only my opinion.

That's only one person's opinion though.I think the majority, myself included would agree that pearce does have something to offer.Originally posted by BlindFreddy View PostAm I misreading?
That being said if a bidding war gets out of hand, I would rather save the money and sign another halfback from a different team.Comment of the year:

Brilliant!Originally posted by filthyralph View PostWhile sharing a bowl of wonton soup and some goats cheese with MRHK and LemonGoat, I learned that Pearce is to undergo a sex change and to have cosmetic surgery to make his eyes look asian so he can then work in a Honk Kong brothel with the Goat as his pimp and MRHK his best client.

I liked and agreed with your post to be honest. We are so harsh on our own players....very quick to praise them when they have a good game, but even quicker to dis them when they have a bad game. If we lost Pearce just who do we replace him with....realistically!!! Its easy to say Thurston or Cherry-Evans or Reynolds or similar....but to me there is very little in the way of realistic targets to replace him! Its like people saying why don't we target this player or that player...the reason is because they are under contract and aren't looking to move!Originally posted by BlindFreddy View PostLOL.
I get sucked in every time.
Should just go back to not posting.
