Pierce Origin

[hammertime]

How is this guy even being considered this year? Can't they just keep the rat bags out, especially ones which have never had success anyway!

This piece, just like the puff pieces before he came back, looks to be setting the stage http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/teams/roosters/mitchell-pearce-could-be-stood-down-from-roosters-if-he-snubs-his-origin-selection/news-story/7b74c3eaaf294a9bca9ccf94d3658404#load-story-comments

"Continues to carve up opposition" - sheesh!! he's had one game back, and it's been the Knights!! Who are they trying to kid?

Apparently he has pulled out of SOO this year.. Most likely because his dad would have said he does not deserve to play this year..

Not that I want him in the SOO side either, as he cannot take the next step, but the guy is great at NRL level and made a big difference to the chooks last time around

It wasn't just Pearce that came back though, they had Cordner and JWH back and collectively it lifted the confidence on the whole side (and meant they no longer had any excuses)…plus it was the Knights. It's ridiculous to have him back in the origin frame after 1 game, especially with his record at origin level.

Another protected species.
Should've been tested for cocaine use after his big weekend… But he was suddenly whisked away overseas
