I'd like to bring up my impression of a #10 option for the Western Force, after watching the Reds vs Tarts on Saturday night, I reckon we should give a bucket load to Mike Harris. remember we still have that marque development player contract and coin in our back pockets.
I know the commentators think Quade Cooper is the best thing since Steve Larkham or themselves. but he's my thought and comparison with both.
Cooper (Positives)
Reading the game
Flashy, but could also be a negative
Possible game breaker, but only if forwards are playing well.
Cooper Negatives
Kicking is poor, both goal kicking and in games
Doesnt play well when forwards are rolling the ball up
Pressure to perform
Being a winger in defence
A HUGE NEGATIVE IS HIS DEFENCE
VS
Harris (Positives)
Goal Kicking
Reading the Play
Attacking the line
Positioning around the field
Defence
Harris Negatives
Not Cooper
Not a Winger or Fullback - where QLD have him
Partnership with Genia, only build over time..
In my eyes when "the Golden Child of FoxSports Commentary team" comes back, I cant see Harris being overally excited about moving back to wing or fullback or even on the pine. Why not sign him during the midseason international break in this years competition (okay pay QLD compensation if need be) or even make enquiries for next year. I feel he is a player who can take us to the next level,Nothing against Chucky but in my eyes he is a number 9 or at least a backup #10 at S15 comptition.
Like to hear your thoughts....
