Morgan Harper

[Sheikheagle]

Won't ever get credit by forum posters here.

No one is bagging him and he is playing good football. However, as far as play makers go. It may be the case of too many cooks spoil the broth. Schu’s ball playing has reduced significantly since Walker started playing that role.

What do we all think now?

Still our fav player.

Although he was worse that pathetic tonight, I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

He will come back stronger next week. At least I hope he does.

One of our most consistent performers this year, had his worst game of the year like a lot of our players tonight. Anyone who says he gets dropped for that, then you are stupid. He will bounce back no doubt

So Harper has an unhappy night and the call is to replace him with….

What a fickle crowd
Harper was crap tonight, but I won't bag him, or next week say what a champion he is - I will simply be happy he is part of the success of Manly as a team.....what a dog act to lay the boot into a rookie who has had a great season

Even though I defended Suli on that particular play, I laughed so hard at that. Kudos. Hilarious

 

[Hibyemama]

leave him alone.one thing is for sure, harper needs a haircut. Thats why he dropped the ball a few times

Was given a bath last night, will be a tough lesson for him. Still love him though and hopefully he uses it as motivation for next time we face them.

Yeah, the year the Storm finally have their decline and rebuilding period... that one where they lose good players and bring in young rookies who lack experience and need years to build back into a finals contender...

They will circle the home game against the storm when the draw comes out for 2022. They will all want redemption for that performance.

I like Morgan Harper I've been watching him closely and even still framing his footage ,he seems to be worried about who is going to tackle him ect wether that be from a bomb or when he's bringing Ball back ,I'd say just concentrate on you Morgan ,but will get better in that department and he is definitely a confidence player,1st full year in first grade

Harper got schooled by Olam. Olam is the most imposing centre in the game and he gave Morgan no peace last night.

The drizzle did their homework and attacked our right edge and got rewarded with 6 tries coming down that side.

Confidence is everything in big games and the dropped ball that led to try 1 was a killer for Harper.

Harper will bounce back!

You watch. Coates will be the comp's leading scorer and Meaney will become an excellent utility player next season. There is something 'magical' about the Storm's recruitment, coaching and methods that turns average players into stars.
The only player I can think of who didn't prosper under Bellyache was Sam Fatsiano.

And Gorgeous George Rose

I think the Drizzle have such success is that they reside in a city where they are mostly under the radar and their culture is driven these days by hard work. The improvement in players like Nico Hynes shows you that and the average players they sign become important team players as they are a ruthless organization and the day Bellyache walks away I think there will be a decline like the Donkeys after Bennett.

Being a one team town does help also..they wouldn't be as successful if they based in Sydney too much competition for teams up here.

Harper probably deserves a shot at redemption but clearly every other side will target him from now on. Also he just can't go up against Olam again, he is no physical match. Probably has to be Suli for all his sometimes waywardness

Ah, the old “it’s not a missed tackle if you don’t get a hand on ‘em” theory.
Yep, that’ll work.

Perhaps third time's a charm but twice the Storm have primarily attacked Harper's side (Bromwich scored near identical tries) and the second time it went even better for them. I just don'[t fancy giving them a third go. Yes Harper laid a hand on Olam but that was about it. I don't say this with happiness. I have loved his contribution this year as much as anyone.
