Nah.. Apparently the Tigers didnt want him ..at $250k… better to go with Wakeham
Not true… the club wanted Pearce for this season and the next however negotiations stalled from both parties (didn’t know the reason on why but @Mystery post makes sense) and Pearce informed us he’d like to play out the season and look into his options for next year and was very open to the idea of coming to us. The key reason they wanted Pearce was so he could play for us this year, when that was no longer a possibility the club went another direction with Seizer.
The club turned their attention on Moses as it was made aware that he was a good chance of potentially coming to us. Now Moses has rejected the deal and the club might’ve considered Seizer’s age factor given his deal would provide more value to us as there was no halves on the market and Pearce’s health could provide setbacks like it did for us this year when AD/Brooks went down in the second year.
The whole reason they wanted Pearce was the experience around the park, Wakeham’s deal will be pretty much replaced by Latu and Sullivan.
