Mitchell Pearce to play 100th game

Mitchell Pearce will play his 100th first grade game this Sunday afternoon at the Sydney Football Stadium when the Sydney Roosters take on the Penrith Panthers.

Pearce made his NRL debut with the Roosters in 2007 aged 17. Now 22, he will reach the milestone just days after representing New South Wales in this year's State of Origin decider.

The Roosters round 18 match against the Panthers will also honour the NSW Emergency Services.
