Morgan Harper
- Thread starter Kiwi Eagle
- Start date
Also Rubs is now classed as cover
Harper for mine is under utilised. IMO our team has been fairly unbalanced for a while . I mean that the number on a few players backs isnt really the role return we get. Jake, DCE and croakes , all have a place but the roles are jumbled.
For this harper is pigeon holed . He isnt a winger and we are not hiring anywhere else he could fill. SO ….here we are
but my point . I see this as a carrer point for harper. He goes alright at centre but is a better footy player . His body/ lack of speed is not suited to any real position currently. He needs to accept he isnt getting faster and start getting bigger and stronger And NOW.
he is a crafty committed footy player who i think would thrive in the middle given time to adapt. He is a project 13 utilty for 2025 ish. He is staunch, uncomprimising looks better in traffic than in the clear and clearly by attitude alone wants to be a career NRL player. He would be a pain in the arse for oppostion in the middle if he had a few more kegs and the confidence gained by a plan for his future and spud carroll on his case.
he exudes attitude and that will rub off on and off field if he grew into this player leader group. He could end up a journeyman which will be sad because he has the ticker and enough of everything else but needs to either bulk up bodywise or puff his chest out more. He loves the dirty work
croker is similar but different just quietly. Just need one last jolt of belief, the both of them .

so yeah .....nah ,on that basis alone its no f'ing way Parra ,you can stew in your own juices, over cook your cap while you try to keep Moses and on top of that pay 650k for the next few years for Brown (who is well past his best) to run around in reggies. Unless it was big Junior they wanted to get rid of (no chance) its no interest from me
I still feel nauseous every time I see the Queen Gutho in that horrid yellow and blue

Not sure if this relates to a spot, but the club site is showing 31 players now. Includes Fifita, Johns, Roache and the 2 Fainus. No Humphries.
Yep, I agree
No bother on that rate.
Rather use any extra space to front end contracts and line up someone like Flegler for next year

Whenever the subject of Brown moving to Manly comes up, which has happened a couple of times in the last 12 months, I feel as though there must be a thread on an eels forum thread titled lol@Manly.
Harper looks to be down the pecking order in 2023. I expect that is because they are looking for speed. I actually don't consider Parker fast enough to play in the centres any more but his defence is rock solid. To me it looks like Saab, Weekes and Viva Los Vaega as our wingers. Christian Tuipulto is a better centre than a winger and his defensive reads on the wing are not good. I see the centres being Koula, Garrick, Tuipulto, Parker and Myers. Possibly room for one more flyer on the wing. So Brown for Harper doesn't seem so silly to me.
You forgot the Magnificent Myers feathered friend
Also the Great Garrick

That club is considering it, makes you wonder if Weekes is a centre option too.
Weekes has flair to be a flying centre
The slowest centre in the NRL, the one dimensional Parker is like a Parked Car in our speedy back line
Nothing personal against parker what so ever as he tries hard but does not set up or score many tries
I do take it personal that we have not won a Premiership since way back 2011

Harper reportedly off to Rugby
tookey
First Grader
One of Eddie Jones' promised huge rugby league signings?
Had 2 horror games which overshadows all the good performances he had, he was brilliant at putting Saab away in 2021
Also took a lot of character to come back and be a dependable performer whenever called upon since that Talakai nightmare
