Mitchell Pearce

My concern is Pearce comes in two years retires, do we honestly trust Benji to teach a new half how to play the game. If he was so good as a teacher then why is Brooks so crap, they played together for ages, doesn't look to me like Brooks learnt anything. I'm just gutted, everytime I have hope for the joint it just finds new ways to disappoint me.

You make a really great point benji has had probably 12 month's with brooks now, he's actually getting worse

If Mitch signs which is highly likely he will most likely play 6 alongside brooks at 7 he has been playing as a 6 in ESL and has been playing well. Only one game this year played so far with
24 tackles
2 missed
1 try
7 attacking kicks
2 tackle busts in 2022 he had the most tries in the comp at 22 he is an attacking threat who proves leadership and steadys the ship when things get hectic but it is no doubt in my mind the red button situation Warrington are no longer communicating with us on George Williams and will not let him go, halfback market in the nrl is rough and we cannot land the big fish that is available here

Nah… the only reason we would even be looking at Pearce is because he is a ‘real’ halfback.
If you mean they are going to continue the charade of putting Brooks in the 7 jersey and play him as a 6 then I can believe it.

Who outside Braydon Trindall in NSW Cup is better than Mitchell Pearce?

Volkman, Oloapu, Sexton (Qld Cup), Amone, Falls for starters. I'd rather we got Jock Madden back who is in reserve grade.

Please remember we're talking about 35 year old Mitchell Pearce, not the one that played for the Roosters.

Mitchell Pearce has confirmed he received a phone call from Wests Tigers assistant coach Benji Marshall on Wednesday around making a shock NRL comeback – but knocked him back.

The phone call from Benji is an indication of a complete breakdown in communications among the Wests Tigers’ coaching staff.

In a text message to News Corp from France, Pearce said: “I don’t really have much to say. Benji called me yesterday and I told him I’m contracted to Catalans.

“We are top of the table and I want to win a comp in Super League. That’s pretty much it.”

The story broke on NRL 360 on Fox Sports on Wednesday night that the desperate Wests Tigers were chasing the former premiership winning halfback.

Pearce turns 34 next week.

Head coach Tim Sheens had told journalists the club has no interest in Pearce.

And then Benji jumps on the phone to make an offer.

As one insider suggested: “They don’t appear to be on the same page.”

It was reported last night that Pearce would be offered a staggering $1.5 million over two years to return home to the NRL.

The news is also unsettling for under siege halfback Luke Brooks, knowing Benji is looking at other options because of his poor start to the season.

Typical Tigers.....no wonder NRL 360 consider this club the laughing stock of the NRL.

The Tigers should go for Volkman, he is a good half looking for a crack in first grade
 
I want another 'day in the life' video! Reality TV at its finest. You couldn't write this stuff. We're crap as a football team so might as well.
Following on from bad decision after bad decision, the biggest question is; Who is signing off on this?
 
in the fair dinkum department,

Newscorp haven't been able to even get Brooks salary right over the last year, let alone conversations and verbal agreements that may or may not have been said...
