All depends what role he plays in the side.

If he just feeds Maloney and kicks here and there, he can't get in too much trouble.

I can't see either player playing second fiddle. Pearce is in career best form but that's as the dominant half at the Knights. He doesn't play second fiddle all that well. Neither does Maloney.

I think it's going to be a little disruptive.

Remember when on the weekend he did everything he could to get the Broncos back into the game? Failing to find touch twice. He still has the choke in him. He should be thankful he is not at Suncorp Stadium.

Absolutely. Suncorp would break him.

The abiding memory of Mitchell Pearce for me in Origin is when he was copping that epic sledge from JT.

I agree.

Maloney and Cleary seemed a lot more 'stable' in terms of both knowing their roles.

Nsw will win so Pearce can finally win a series. The same way I never wanted Gallen to win a premiership.

This just means a "fairytale" probably isn't off the table. Guarantee Gould and co will be pushing that angle in the commentary box

That was my first thought...the perennial whipping boy leads a victorious NSW side to win a rare 3rd game at home and take out their second series in a row in over 15 years...all past sins are forgotten, he's a hero, yadda yadda. Buckle up for another belting.

Lot's of footage of Pearce in the NSW jersey, slowly looking up as the camera zooms in. Heartfelt voice over by Gould or Warren. Pencil it in.

Can't find an appropriate shuddering gif.

But yeah I can picture it already.

Pretty much every blues win from now on will always be about revenge and trying to cleanse themselves of those 10 years. Thing is, they’ll never be free from what happened because no matter what, qld did it first.

Whoa. Just realised Ethan Lowe is QLD’s 18th man... seriously?

During our domination period, I was always worried about our depth once we started losing players but I didn't think it was going to be so bad that Ethan fucking Lowe would have a chance of making a QLD side.

Anyone else think Ethan Lowe could play Paul Walker’s character in fast and the furious or is this another horrible look-a-like I’ve created?

Maybe if o’Connor had a grubby thug of a brother that preferred monster trucks over skylines

Tariq Sims' wife partially blamed Sims getting suspended on the panel of 3 having 2 QLDers, lol.
