Harper rating??

I thought he went ok... big test this week for him against panthers. Will BA keep him at centre when sivo returns or put Simmonsen there?

  • 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

    • Sivo is a liability. Hope these two kill and Sivo stays in reserve grade 

      • Sorry Zip Zip, do not take it personally.

        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 pretty solid.

    I would give him a 6/10

    I would keep him at centre over Simonsson. 

  • 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.

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

    • 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

      • 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
