Official Harper released to Manly immediately

[Mitch Connor]

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have today signed exciting young centre Morgan Harper until the end of the 2022 season.

Harper joins the Sea Eagles immediately after today gaining a release from the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. He will join his new Manly team-mates at training tomorrow.

The 21-year-old made his NRL debut for the Bulldogs against Brisbane in round 25 of the 2019 season.


Born in Hamilton, New Zealand, Harper has played two NRL games after progressing from the Canterbury Cup. He had been contracted to the Bulldogs for the last five seasons.

Harper represented the Junior Kiwis in 2018.

“We have been looking at Morgan for quite some time. He is an exciting, fast and elusive centre and will complement the Manly squad. We are very happy to have secured his services,’’ said Sea Eagles Recruitment Officer Scott Fulton.

What a surprise...

Anyways, what do people think? Glad he is gone, or would rather he was getting game time with us?

 

[Spoonman84]

Good luck to him. I know others rated him but I don’t really think he’ll be much of a loss.

Depends who we replace him with.

If it’s Lafai, I would’ve rathered Harper stay.

Making space for Cotric to move immediately, maybe potential swap for CHN (Canbra need forwards), who knows?

Go Dogs

We can't miss what haven't seen flourish.

we must have a player coming, be that Lafai from all reports, for him to be released.

 

[TABOO]

Disappointing to me. I think he has potential just wasn't given a proper go.
Watch him go well at Manly.

that would be good

 

[Raysie]

I don't know how good Harper is, but let's be honest he was given no chance at all to shine. Another blight on Dean Pay's coaching.

Lafai is a legit first grade centre with plenty of experience and still a lot to offer. He's the right short term choice.

Well we need forwards too if you haven’t realised mate

he was never going to be a superstar, didnt have much pace either

This is exactly what I'm afraid of. Although I don't see who he replaces, unless either he or Parker plays on a wing while Turbo is out.

Makes sense. Although I’m thinking Faders will want Cotric to stay since Scott isn’t working out atm

We have needs in most positions and if CHN doesn't want to stay then we should make the most of it.

Go Dogs

Highly doubt that's about to happen.

Doubt it. Theyve lost their other winger for the season
