Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3044204, member: 1899"] Pearce changed his game in 2017. After their shocking 2016, Robinson changed the structure at the Roosters and had Pearce and Keary play like a traditional 7 & 6. That's why the Roosters were maligned in the opening half of 2018 because Cooper Cronk was essentially being shoe-horned into the Pearce role without being allowed to play his natural game. They changed things up and brought in Victor Radley to help take the burden off of Cronk. What Pearce has shown is that independant of the star-studded Roosters, he's still a quality talent in his own right. I don't think that's ever been disputed, the problem with Mitchell is that he gets the yips on the big stage and usually needs somebody else (eg. Maloney) to get it done. This purple patch of form is hardly new, he pulled off similar efforts in the back half of 2013 and 2014. It's just a matter of whether he can perform in the finals when it matters. [/QUOTE]
