Rumours and Stuff

[the phantom menace]

I'll admit I had to google who Morgan Harper was - probably a step up on Waqa, but still...

Connor Tracey has put himself on the open market in the last 48 hours but we just nah-brah him and sign Morgan Harper… please god let it not be true

Tracey would not suit us he wants to be a fullback or 5/8 we need a centre

I cringed when I heard we were looking at him earlier this year so I thought I would watch him closer and he got worse as the season went on... Waqa is a better player

Morgan Harper?! Are they kidding? We have truly lost the plot. Talk about signing more shit. Wow

I am literally laughing out loud. f**k me dead. What a f**king joke. How could anyone rate this guy? But we need back ups, isn't that right @Poupou Escobar

f**k me I'll be the backup if they want to pay me 200k to have dicks for hands

Our club is f**ked. Seriously BA, MON and the recruitment team have lost the plot. If we sign Harper it may just about do me.

Yep but hey atleast we have filled out top 30 positions

 

[JokerEel]

How do you look at Harper and go yep he is better than Supersimmonson (who is our current centre beside Penisini)

 

[Tiger5150]

Morgan Harper is like Bailey Simonsen only worse in attack and worse in defence and gives away more penalties

But great hair.....and your club needs it more than anything else.

You can find all his highlights compilation on YouTube. All of it consists of him making bad defensive reads costing his team wins. He is truly a shit player. This makes no sense at all.

Surely we have a 3/4 coming through that can grab a spot. Instead of signing this shit.

I read that Jenkins from the riff has signed with the Knights..

When I read that I thought yeah that's ok we don't need a backup centre.

But now we are looking at a Manly reject I am asking why the f**k didn't we sign Jenkins .....

I can only think that Morgan Harper would be cheap, is capable of playing FG and his price would not road block merkins like Talagi walking past him in the squad.

Very lacklustre signing all the same.

 

[Noise]

He played only 9 first grade games this year (didn’t score a try in any of them) in a shit Manly team. He’s hopeless and a f**king terrible signing that is probably right up BA and MON’s alley.
I can’t wait to read about him killing it at pre season vs 20 year olds.

There is one Eel (Hopgood) in the top 50 in the NRL for carries, and zero in the top 50 for carries per game: https://www.nrl.com/stats/players/?competition=111&season=2023&stat=1000038

Meanwhile there are eight forwards in the top 50 for carries/game, including three who just played in the grand final. I think your perception that our forwards are overused is out of date.

We also have only 1 player (Gutho) in the top 50 for metres per game. That’s an abysmal stat for our outside backs. If your outside backs aren’t making metres then your middles are going to be doing it a lot tougher rucking it out.

R1 next year I don’t think he makes the Sharks 17 (maybe as 14)

He has the option of going to the Dragons to be the Fullback but still has to fight with Sloan who is younger and arguably more upside. 5/8 similar situation with Amone.

We could offer him a starting centre position and to be first choice backup at fullback.

I hope we have at minimum been on the blower to his manager.

That’s actually debatable…. That’s how shit he is.

Now they’re talking Morgan Harper, whose claim to fame was playing so shithouse agst Cronulla that the Sharks fat centre got picked for Origin.

I thought his claim to fame was Dancing on the Ceiling

MON is too busy chasing bargains and picking up the trash at Narrabeen to get down to cronulla. And talk to someone that can actually add value to the team.

I don't think signing blokes like Harper is very astute.

He's an ordinary First Grader, but he does have 56 First Grade games under his belt - signing him doesn't exactly shout, "As head coach, I will give you a go, if you're good enough."

Brad Arthur...I swear, the guy is secretly on Penrith's payroll, to ensure we never become competent, and threaten to become a competitive team.
