Morgan Harper

[Malla]

Any updates on Harper? I heard he contracted the corona virus from sitting on the bench in the cold yesterday.

 

[Phalangist]

It was dumb from dean pay to put him on the bench, but I don’t rate him at all anyway.

I don't rate him either.

But lets pick him, put him on the bench, and let him sit there as opposed to putting someone on the bench you are going to use. Dean Pay 101 coaching.

Averillo shits on him

Averillo shits on him

Yes yes !!

 

[speedy2460]

One thing from the game that is necessary. Foran and Averillo must be the halves.
The other halves are not up to it.

You lose a centre to suspension (who is actually a winger). So you bring in a winger To replace him. Put your winger who had his best game at the club last week at centre. And bring in a centre on the bench.

Pull off the opposite side centre for 10 mins. Then bring him back on while replacing him with his winger. And playing the bench centre at the end of the game.

Not sure what pay is doing. But it feels like he has lost his marbles.

100%. Averillo is a great runner of the ball. Showed glimpses yesterday.

That's assuming he's had all his marbles at some stage.
Pay took on this job knowing he was on a hiding to nothing with the players available and salary cap position.
His recruitment has been poor and his selections puzzle almost everyone.
It's time to go Dean and support staff.

Well you won't have to bother with him after this season. That's til he plays against the dogs next year and kicks arse. Just saying.

in reserve grade?

Both Foran and Averillo seem like running 5/8s. Wakeham would be the perfect partner to either of them as an organising halfback.

I’d have:

6. Foran
7. Wakeham

14. Averillo (can cover a number of positions)

in reserve grade?

I dont think so but he will have to prove himself. At least if he does prove himself he will get game time as Pay never really gave him the opportunity. Des know Harper - didnt he bring him over when he was 15. Just saying.

 

[repolski]

We have to be tough. Harper needs to see out year in reserve grade. He is unproven in first grade and we don’t want to do des any favours by instilling valuable first grade experience in the youngster.

Perfect summary how lost pay is

Pay doesn't recruit, committee recruits which pay has input. He does select wingers or centres on the bench though, does play forwards for to long and not give his bench enough minutes. He does select to many players out of position then there are favourite players who are Reggie's at best Lewis, JMK, Lewis, Britt, oh did I mention the golden child Lewis. Fuck me it's depressing.

How do you give a centre game time if a club has 2 better centres ahead of you?

As i said he will need to prove himself. Des knows him and what he is capable of. The ball is in Harpers court and I have faith in him. You ask the question around two better centres. I ask you- how can pay put Smith in at Centre when he has not proved himself. Harper should have been ahead of Smith but no Pay had.different ideas. No wonder Harper left and why wouldn't he go to a club that's been after him

Maybe someone has hacked his Magic 8 Ball...

By reserve grade you mean no games at all?

Two first grade games is very limited time to make an impression and you certainly won't make an impression if your backside is cemented to the reserves bench...
