He was solid without being spectacular. I don't think we can't expect too much more than that. Simonsson is much faster which seems to be the only real upside to using him over Harper. A lot will depend on what happens between now and when Sivo is back
But Sivo defensively has issues, but when he has a defensive Centre like Jenko or Opacic he is a lot better. Harper could be that guy for him. Plus Sivo averages 17 tries a season. Not many players in the NRL are averaging that. For a player to have 17 average tries a year, they must be good. Yes some tries he just walks over the line, but you cannot score average of 17 just diving over the line.
He was solid. He is never going to be a star for us but he did his job. Considering how Blake and at times Simonsson played at Centre defensively, Harper will be a positive change. He is best option for Sivo. Harper being 6-7/10 every week is fine.
I thought he was just putting himself into position to draw the fullback then pass, which he did without seeming rushed. I thought he was a bit faster as well, but seemed to get to DB's kick pretty quickly to ground it
"It's because it's the story that Melbourne to win a comp in Bellamy's supposed last season is wonderful and Lomax helps. If they lose say a Howarth that damages it."
"I'll be very surprised if Lomax ends up at the Storm. Wouldnt be surprised if he is told to return to the Eels until his contract is completed or until R360 offers him a definite deal or he's told to join a Rugby Union club. If Lomax gets his way it…"

Sivo is a liability. Hope these two kill and Sivo stays in reserve grade
Sorry Zip Zip, do not take it personally.

He was pretty solid.
I would give him a 6/10
I would keep him at centre over Simonsson.

Thought he might of had a bit more pace when he found himself in the clear. Fills a spot at this stage.

You might be right.
I thought Harper was very good. Defensively and in attack.
He was terrific. A calm player with good hands. He's like Opacic 2.0
