Barry Toohey is reporting on the Sydney Morning Herald's website that Pearce has agreed to terms with the Knights on a 4 year deal.

Good on Pearce and the Knights.

I actually feel sorry for the bloke and Easts fans who liked him.

Ah well. Its a business blah blah blah.

Good luck.

I don't. He is lucky that the Roosters club has a strong "bad humans with good footy skills" policy, or he would already be out on his @ss.

I also don't see this as a big coup for Newcastle either. With a young squad, do you really want to poison the culture? If anything, this could have lasting ramifications on the structure of the club for the next 10 years.

They're hoping he'll be Andrew Johns, but he isn't.

I was hoping he'd land at Manly so I could have a reason to hate them again.

It's a big deal for a team who have struggled in recruitment for years now. Pearce will need to mature and show he can be a leader. Not the worst gamble really. I don't like them losing Brock Lamb because of it though. He's a really talented young half.

Not me, I hate them without the need for anything as high brow as a reason.

Exactly! You won’t find worse fans in the game than Manly fans.

Pearce is sort of good without actually being good. If you know what I mean.

Manly? I would rather find a dog shit in my sock drawer...

Pearce will poison the culture at Newcastle?

Hahahaha. That club already has a horrid culture. Drug cheating? Illicit drug use? And Pearce is going to make it worse?

I'm only laughing right now cos my Newcastle supporting cousin is cracking the shits over his signing but they can do worse than Michelle Piss.

Hating Manly is so hackneyed. I'd prefer to hate on on souffs and the Bullfilth.

Ah, touché.

He’s hardly going to improve it though.
