We’re no chance without Pearce.

A James Wynne/Dane Campbell halves combo would’ve been more potent than Clifford/Crossland were last week.
 
I don’t know if this is just me, but naming a player in a position to give him a confidence boost I guess is fine, but then going and telling the media you’ve put them there as a “…pshychologically thing..” probably undoes some of the confidence you’re looking to instill right?

Also looks like I went off a wee bit early on the Pearce being a late inclusion thing damn it.

As with last week, the guys who have to lead us to a win are Clifford and Ponga.
Maybe it was pressure that saw them both have stinkers last week - but you'd have to think there was more pressure on Ponga when he took Qld to a SOO win a few weeks ago.

The fly in the ointment is Tom Starling. Every time I saw him in a team lineup in our lower grades I thought we were in with a great chance, and 9 times out of 10 he delivered in big games.
