Mitchell Pearce

[innsaneink]

Deserves his own thread imo

Two year gig {unsure from when} $750k per year

Only WTs eh....but hes gotta be better than what we have. Son of a Tigers legend, can carry on the tradition 😉

 

[king_sirro]

That's absurd money if correct. Especially if it's for 24,25. He will be 36 in 25.

 

[Demps]

Makes sense.
We have need a capable 7 for the better part of a decade.

We get the old timer though.

Would've loved;

7 Pearce
6 Benji

Way back in 2010....

Too old. If Hastings wasn’t fast enough, how fast are they expecting an injury prone 35 year old to be?

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Just insane. They are literally making it up week to week. NRL invests 17m a year into this rubbish.

 

[Aceshigh]

Wow it screams desperation going down this track , maybe someone thinks he is better than what we have

Who cares - as long as it sees Brooks out the door.

They need to accept the failure and walk away from it.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

Get rid of Hastings and sign Pearce!!! Only WT

Im hoping its this year and next....at first i thought it was 1.5 per year...had to read it twice

Yeah hed be slow I guess but you dont need speed to organise, throw great passes, ball play and kick well all of which he does...

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

I'm not against the signing. 750K isn't outrageous for an experienced NRL half, but we would've been better off keeping Hastings rather than going down this route.

Agree on trying to get him but $750K per season is way too much but then again these jurno's will say anything to get headlines.
2 year contract $350k per season would be ideal.
My only concern is that Pearce is not playing that well for Catalan either....very hit and miss last year and this year.

If its this year and next, then we have Williams signed for 25 it's a reasonable succession plan and I can see why they would do it.

hate to burst your bubble demps but if Pearce does arrive it would be
7. Pearce
6 Brooks
1. AD

Which 7's in the SL are looking good mate?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

he was past it at Newcastle, I th8 know it shows Sheens ain't happy with wakeham at 7 for 2023

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

Look at least WT have figured out a way to keep us entertained

 

[loklok]

Straight swap for Pearce
AU REVOIR LE LUKE

Now there’s an idea 😆

I just can’t see catalans releasing him this year - they’re a real shot at winning the thing for the first time. Too old if it isn’t for this year…

but he has high opinion for brooks?
