“He is very, very important to this club.”
Forget about Sonny Bill Williams and even Quade Cooper – the main priority for incoming boss Brian Canavan is making halfback Mitchell Pearce a Rooster for life.
Answering some of the questions that sacked chief executive Steve Noyce would not, replacement Canavan said re-signing Pearce, who is off contract at the end of next season, was his chief concern.
“I see him here for his whole career,” Canavan said. “I will do everything in my work capacity to ensure that happens. Mitchell will obviously be a 300-plus game player. He has all the attributes of his dad as a player. He is very, very important to this club.”
It is no secret Pearce was unhappy under former coach Brian Smith – so much so that it is believed he met with Canterbury-Bansktown Bulldogs coach Des Hasler.
The St George Illawarra Dragons are also desperate for a halfback and have their sights on Pearce.

I hear hes going to the Dragons?!! bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha Im a die hard Saints fan and cant wait to hear the bullshit rumours on this one again, as ive always said, no big name players will come to our club when there is our 2009, 2010 water boy coaching SIMPLE AS THAT!!
So true. Although wait until your Red V mates Devout Saint and Agrothedragon get home today from Centrelink, they’ll be singing Pearce’s praise. They love him and look to him as the saviour for the Drags. Good Luck!
LOL leave my mates alone, they do have very vaild points at times….I.E Jamie Coward, Matt Butter fingers Prior, Matt “i only play 5 games a year cuase im always injured Cooper, Steve “I thought we put in a good effort tonight” Price….etc etc!!
Little boy blue still looking for you shoe.What is it a high heel?
Little Boy Blue still looking for your shoe. What is it a high heel?
Do you feel you will be heard if you repeat yourself? Was there a crowd at Centrelink?
What is this Centerlink that you speak of? You sound like you are quite familiar about this Centerlink.
Don’t worry devout saint, the only reason blue balls doesn’t go to centrelink is that like most true doggies fans he probably makes a living selling amphetamines and stealing cars.
warriors and dragons to battle for the wooden spoon 2013!
dont forget the eels
And the tigers, You can’t forget them!
and panthers
That is fine, I am glad that the Panthers are the underdogs, because I can not wait to smack a few teams arses next year
.
I heard from pearces 12th cousins brother who had a mate in china who’s father runs a factory which the store mans brother first cousins frends sister who is best friends with pearces mother said it’s a done deal to saints
tell that asian that pearce going to the saints is bull****!
To all my fellow saints fan please realise we will not get anyone to our club so stop believing crap rumors no one wants to come while mr oh we didn’t play dragons footy todAy is gooooooone
I heard a rumour that Jack deBelin is going to the Tigers. More bad news.
His on contract untill the end of 2014 stop spinning crap
I really don’t like to get involved in rumours, but this was from a reliable source. I hope he stays, he is a good player.
If I was in charge of Saints there is no way that DeBelin would be going anywhere. He looks like the best forward prospect we have had in a very long time. I think he has got Origin written all over him.
If we do happen to loose him we should definently start some kind of campaign to get rid of the 3 stooges who are ruining our club in Doust, Craig Young and the Price is not right. We should start some kind of campaign anyway.
Panthers Girl is most likely going to come in and say how Pearce is coming to the Panthers, and how the Panthers are premiership favourites…
I heard he wants to go to the dogs under a good coach like Hasler.
BlueBalls you are still a tosser!!! At least one thing we know is us Dragon supporters are passionate and want to see the best for our club unlike some of you others that just want to get on and spread rumours or just talk shit and bag others that are fair dinkum followers of thier teams
What a great comeback. Did you think that up all by yourself? Try spellcheck champ, you might actually make sense one day.
What do you consider yourself an intellectual. lol
Just go and buy a new PAIR of highheels and then you can stop looking for your shoe.
Come out of that closet Devoid Saint. Your reference to high heels was not missed by those of us that recognise you’re a skirt wearer.
Pearce and Soward would look great together as arguably two of the worst halves to ever play for the blues.
Pearce wont come to penrith we have already locked up the games worst half till 2015.
Titans should get jenny craig on board maybe they can help idris see his feet again wouldnt hurt with taylor either.
Agree to disagree, and agree to agree again.
Thank You, Luke Walsh is definitely one of the worst halfbacks to have ever played the game.
Forget about Dragons being desperate for a halfback what the dragons need is a full scale cleanout from top to bottom..
I agree. You can start with their supporters..
Yeh the most passionate, fanatical and proudest supporters in the comp must really piss you off. lol
I doubt that your club is proud to have you as a fan. We don’t want you to be a fan of us either. You either love Saints or you hate us.
“You either love Saints or you hate us”. Well what an intelligent comment that is. Does it not apply to all clubs you muppet? Poor Illawarra I say. A club sacrificed to save the Red V… Win a real comp..
Blue ass fly. You are a complete joke, exept you aren’t funny.
@Agro, Yeh we have to get a campaign going to get rid of the 3 stooges before they do any more damage to OUR great club.
I seriously hope for Salary Cap reasons that if the dogs are in the market to sign pearce that they will release a couple to four maybe five of their 11 off contract high profiled stars to ensure we remain under the cap.
Barba and?
meh….
Pearce is well below the standard of the top 10 halves in the game. Should never of been selected for NSW. Living off his fathers reputation and is not work 400K+ a season
Throw the chequebook at sam williams hes only going to be surplus if they persist with campese.
At least hes got skill, guts and determination.
Now thats a good idea !!! He’s something !!!
Ditto, Central coast panther. I don’t think that the Raiders will let Sam go though.
Pearce is the best halfback in the game
^^ said by no one ever. the guys never ran the ball at the line in his life
pearce is the worst halfback in the nrl LOL
if he goes dogs des make he a very good half back not te best but still look whath e did with keating ad that bloke didnt have any hope of being a good one hahah
doggies dont need pearce he will bring us down keep hodkinson hes got lot of promise
that is hilarious. Pearce is his no. 1 priority! the priority should be to NOT resign him. He is the worst tackler in the league and the most over rated player. Roosters dont have a chance with him on the team. Someone needs to go get their eyes checked!!
