NSW should win. They've been the better team all series and without Thurston I can't see QLD winning.

If the blues play for eighty mins they are a big chance if they don't they will get hammered at suncorp

With JT out Slater becomes the brains, give him a workover, keep an eye on Gagai and don't go to sleep in the final ten, surely the boyz won't let this one go?

Pearce has never led a nsw team to a series win, can't see it happening at suncorp either. Nsw blew their golden opportunity in game two.

Even our shitty half's combo won a series, that's how bad Pearce is at Origin level
Pearce has had a good series jump off the bandwagon. Reynolds and hodkinson did very little that series and we won, maybe that says that the halfback isn't the sole reason for winning and losing games like everyone makes out with pearce

They may not have done a great deal but they didn't constantly make mistakes like Pearce does in Origin. Both Pearce and Maloney were poor in the 2nd half of game 2 which resulted in their defeat.

Hodkinson was able to do something pearce has never once done in a series decider, produce that winning play. Pearce has played ok this series but he has proven so many times he just doesn't have that winning play in him.

I find it hysterical that all these experts on the Kennel that hate Pearce are happy for him to get dropped, but fail to offer up an alternative.
The reason being, is because they can't even think of one, or if they do, it will be shot down in flames.

Guaranteed the same would be said for whoever was there instead of him all those years. The guy has copped so much blame simply because he's been nsw's best available half for years. Could guarantee if guys like adam reynolds and hodkinson had the same amount of games as pearce they would have done no better. If anyone should cop blame for nsw not winning game 2 and the series its wade graham. Crucial miss tackle on mcguire that they scored off and then a silly penalty with 5 to go when the maroons were stuck on their line

Thurston and cronk did no more than pearce and maloney in the second half, were they poor? Crucial errors from hayne and graham had more impact on the game than anything that pearce did but again people wanna blame him for the loss

Yes they were poor as well, Thurston was injured and Cronk had been average since game one. Had Hayne and Graham not fucked up NSW would of probably won but that still wouldn't excuse the half's from failing to take control of the game.

You're a touchy one aren't you? :tearsofjoy: Alternatives? any half would do tbh, Pearce is a good club level HB but he is garbage at Origin level that QLD celebrates every time he gets picked.
So in other words, you have no f@cking idea. You're an idiot.
