The Morgan Harper appreciation thread

[the phantom menace]

So Harper was just a one season signing - a BA special?

And wasn't even named on the reserves list for Spoonbowl... so has effectively finished his Parra duties?

As a depth signing if we could'nt get Lomax for 2024. Scraping the bottom of the barrel, I know.

He was talked up by Bea Arthur as a defensive specialist, utterly embarrassing.

No wonder why our defence had been rubbish for the majority of his time here.

Ironically, he let a genuinely good defensive centre in Tom Opacic walk....

Opacic probably didn't like being called a spastic that time by captain Gutho - I don't blame him. I would have walked at the first opportunity/end of contract too, if the club didn't discipline the merkin at all.

Gutho was displinced the following game he came out with a shaved head and a rats tail against Souths on the GC in the QLD Hub

That was the punishment.

 

[Avenger]

Well done champion!!

 

[King-Gutho94]

If Harper plays a lot we are struggling he’s absolute garbage.

Correct

And We collect a spoon.... Yay!!

Gee you were almost correct a spoon bowl defeat away

When he does something for Eels fans appreciate, the thread will be found.

Yeah he did something we will never forget. Pull on a Parramatta Jumper.

Did you see Bronson Xerri play in reggies ? Id rather have Harper.

Yeah I don't think so

Is the Harper renaissance over?

Its over

That'd be great if he does, but I don't even think that the Eels rate him much

Consider the facts, he's a Manly reject who signed for just above minimum wage on a short term deal from the reports.

If we rated him, he would have been offered a much better deal, you know, like Jiral Mormoisea, who we really rate.

Nailed it

He'll be on the shit list before round 5.

Then he'll be off the shit list by round 10.

Back on it again before the end of the season.

He was on my shit list from the start and never got off it.

Well, he was never on my shit list.
I usually reserve spots on my shit list for players who have some expectations put on them and they fail to reach those expectations..
I saw pretty much exactly what I expected from Morgan. He wasn't good, but then he also wasn't the worst I saw last year. Tried his guts out at every opportunity, which is more than I can say for a few other players.
