Anyone else disapointed about Wallace not being used properly in city v country?

Question

cmon, the guy is playing way better than mitchell pierce and gets put on the bench? not only that but he was put into HOOKER, the guy NEVER plays hooker! I feel sorry for hughes who had to be subbed to put wallace on because sheens wanted pierce to stay on the field. I think because Wallace plays in QLD and because Pierce is waynes son, that he gets overlooked

Ben hornby also didnt get a run on till the second half which was kinda sad, people say this is supposed to be a trial game for NSW so EVERY player should be given and EQUAL SHOT at it. But instead they are puting players who earned their shirts on the bench, i think the coaches(daley and sheens) are more concerned about winning rather than the benefit of the players.

plus wasnt happy about the draw, kinda disapointing

but yeah discuss~

Answer 1

Who cares? I'd prefer th Blues to pick someone ****, like Finch(come on, he was playing 6 when Tim Smith(Queenslander) was playing, he would have been like 4th/5th choice for QLD), Pearce(who?? what is he like 18 year old), Mullen(can't even get on the field for th KNIGHTS). The only one ANY good is Gidley, but if they pick him at halfback, they have no fullback except Hodgeson, and he's **** compared to any of QLD first 5 fullbacks candiate's.

And Bronco's will be missing enough players for QLD, we don't need players Ennis or Wallace going to play for the Blue's.

Answer 2

It was good for Wallace to get a run and I believe he is a better player than Pearce.  However, it was both players first taste of rep football and it is better to keep Peter Wallace playing minimal rep footy for now.  Give him a full season with Brisbane and he will be all the better for it.

He will be the NSW halfback next season

Answer 3

f ing h**l pearce sucks shiit-wallace way BETTER

but im glad wallace didnt play for long cuz then he can have a better game agaisnt the tigers!! go broncos!

Answer 4

i do agreed with you.a big bonus for the broncos coming out without injuries.the tigers will have the 3 players backing from last night game.finch,carney,anasta and pierce did not play above their expectation.if wallace had been on the field earlier then maybe the scoreline will be on the city's favour.there are few more games before the blues selection.the way i see it is wallace will get in the halfback position.along side greg bird from the shark.the blues have tried finch and anasta but we lost the series.it's about time that they bring wallace to the side.his advantage playing against the maroon will be great.playing along side lockyer and some broncos who would be selected to the maroon side will be a big benefit for the blues.as for young pierce.he got to learn more before he can be part of the toughest contest in the planet.origin games are not the same as a club games.it has more passion than playing with your club.last night draw was a bit disappointing for most of us.it should have been a golden point.yes,most of them are backing up to their club game.but to see a winner will be good for the game.they are modern days athletes.it would not harm them a bit for just few more minutes.it will also good for their chances of being selected to the blues squad against the maroons.

Answer 5

lol are u serious peter wallace is shiit.. he deserved 2 be on the bench 4 so long so he didnt kill the city team.. mitchell pierce is way better and noo not bcoz his the son of the great he just is..

Answer 6

I'm with you dude.. both wallace and hornby were wasted. to have that much talent sitting on the bench and not use their capabilities to their fullest is absurd. Mitchell pearce is good but not that good

Answer 7

Ben hornby and Wallace r gun players and they got wasted. I hope they pick Pierce 4 origin, he will get eatin alive.

Answer 8

a bit pssd off wallace is a much better halfback than pearce. wallace had to steer the broncos around for a few weeks alone and proved he could handle it, while pearce has had anasta with him holding his hand.i agree with everything you say.

Answer 9

well because the rep selection team is smart,  they put pearce because right now they need to choose who should be the nsw halfback. They wanted to see if finch is good at rep or if the combo of anasta and pearce is the way to go.

EDIT: pearce does have anasta to back him up, but wallace also has the broncos forward pack that has been playing well this season and he has had players like hunt and hodges that are a big help aswell. so its stupid to say that one of the two players has had it easier and its much easier to play well with a formed team than one thats still developing its combinations and new players.
