In a place where the impossible happens, pigs fly,
I think noddy is a very good defender, kicker, kick chaser, and he's tough, I think his organization skills and creative plays are a bit predictable but he could have been a very valuable dummy half runner, an important position in any team.

Bungy Bounces Back

I agree mate, whenever Kimmorley pumps a kick down field he is always the first player to greet the player who picks it up, whether he actually makes the tackle or not is a different story, but points for trying :nodlaugh

I think Barba would be a good investment, the Bulldogs Toyota cup halfback

i watched the dragons/roosters game yesterday, and i could not even tell that pearce was playing. he has no organisational skills, didn't get involved at all, and dare i say, had no influence in the game whatsoever. soward outplayed him all ends up. anyone who picked him in their list, or thinks he would be good for origin is havin themselves on. i think gidley should be the blues half, and birdy and anasta should be in the side, one 5/8 and one lock, i don't care who plays where. rotate them maybe throughout the game.

Thank **** someone else said it Jimmy. I couldnt agree more. I really think Pearce has been hyped up to be something that he is not. He is not the next NSW halfback and is in fact along way from it. He has no presence at the moment and is playing around alot of talented players. His running game leaves alot to be desired and he really is a catch, pass and kick type halfback like Tim Smith was when he burst onto the scene. The funny thing is that he does no more than Kimmorley, probably even less considering that Noddy can lift in defence, yet everyone bays for Noddy's blood. I'm sure that he will be a good player in a few years but the hype is way to much at the moment. He is not the Messiah.
