I thought he had a very poor game today. I was concerned thinking he would bomb Jorge all day, and that didn't eventuate. His kicking was very average and he ran the team like a dog's breakfast. They just did't have a leader out there. Anasta is a myth, and there didn't appear to be anyone who had any idea. Gotta love that.

was thinking the same,I thought,if this is his best,then NSW are in big trouble
They never really hit a position to hammer us with bombs, were either in their own half or right on our line
Tbh its pretty hard for a halfback to do anything when at halftime his side had completed 9/17 or something as bad as that

Couldn't set up a try if his life depended on it!

Agreed. I thought Pearce and Anasta would bomb Jorge, but they didn't do it once. All high kicks went to Whare, who was safe.
I think that Wallace is now a better half than Mitchell and should be in the NSW team.
What's a Penrith boy playing for the Broncos, anyway? The Broncos have all of Brisbane to get their own halfback.

No, a bloke named "Mitchell" as a surname is off as is Perrett -- to surprise, surprise.. The dogs!
I don't get selectors obsession with pearce. He's no better as a player now than he was 3 years ago. Average player at best, so I don't get why the are determined to stick with him. It's like they think that out of the blue he's going to have a blinder and win a series for us. Poor organisers, doesn't have a footy brain and goes into hiding when the going gets tough. The only positive from another origin series loss would be him getting the arse for next year.

And there lies the problem, unfortunately.
QLD could put Cronk, DCE, Thurston, Prince and god knows who else at half.
We have Pearce...
Pearce's defence is better than Wallace's. Pearce isn't the greatest atacking half in the comp, but the cupboard is bare in NSW so we don't have a lot of options. Is Josh Reynolds a Blue or Maroon ? just out of interest, not that I think he should be playing Origin just yet.

Josh Reynolds is a Blue. However I would stick with Pearce, he is the best we have. Put him in a decent side with a decent coach he would be going signficantly better than he is at the moment.
