Bronson Harrison

[happy_tiger]

Am hearing stories that he is unwanted by the Raiders in 2013

Then again Sheens couldn't get the best out of him the first time around (playing him out of position)

I dunno why , I really hoped he would crack it at the Tigers he had it all Size strength and speed for someone of his size but just seemed he couldn't put it together

Would he be worth another shot , especially if he brought some of his 2010 and 2011 form from the Raiders

Is he injured at the moment or out of form? I always liked Bronson, but couldn't understand why Sheens used him in the front row…He played his junior football in the centres and was always a handful and he showed at the Raiders how effective he can be when used on the edges as a wide running backrower who also has a good offload.

I'd be surprised if we see him back at the Tigers, not sure I could find a place for him either.

SMH - 5 days ago

His future at the Raiders remains clouded, but Bronson Harrison's season at Canberra is officially over.
The former Kiwi international has had facial surgery to mend his palate, shattered by an accidental elbow playing for Canberra's feeder team Mounties in the NSW Cup on the weekend.
Prior to this latest injury setback, Harrison had already described 2012 as the most disruptive and hardest of his nine seasons in the NRL.

He has played only 10 NRL matches this year, sidelined previously by ankle and back injuries as well as form.
Although the 26-year-old has two seasons to run on his contract in Canberra, it's understood the Raiders are keen to release him and Newcastle remains the most likely location.

we need a half back , not an over rated, broken worn out player , a little harsh , but true , 10 games this year , says it all

He played like a man possessed in 2010 and 2011, but I just don't see the need to continue chasing backrowers. You'd imagine Newcastle would be an ideal destination for Bronson. A fresh start and time under Bennett could only be a good thing for him. Hopefully he stays injury free.

Yeah I understand where you are coming Fraze , but we don't have a big wrecking ball second rower and have said for a few seasons it could be the ointment this sides needs , a big backrower with speed and size that Marshall could offload to running good angles close to the line

Even Mason could of filled that role to a degree

Ellis ,Fulton ,Rhino and Blair are solid second rowers but lack what Harrison has at his best attacking wise

 

[jirskyr]

BMM and Pettybourne are better prospects.

 

[Tiger_Watto]

My mail has him being released to Newcastle for 2013?

Agreed Happy, if we needed that sort of player we should have made a play for Richie Fa'oso.

Yeah your probably right Jirskyr at this stage of their careers

But if I put BMM and Harrison together at similiar stages of their careers I think Harrison showed far more promise imo

I think we have bitten off more than we can chew already

Yeah I'm a big Faioso fan also TigerSmurf

He has the added benefit of great foot work at the line too Smurf (no not like Rhino's before someone adds :laughing: )

Sounds like fairly good mail Watto.

 

[cunno]

Don't think there is room for him Happy unless as a centre?

 

[Flippedy]

Canberra don't want him - enough said.

 

[sunshine_coast_tiger]

Don't need him back. Too injury prone and I think next year we have a strong back row with some good juniors coming though. We need a prop and although Sheens played him there before I think we can find props that are better than Bronson.

 

[supercoach]

Bronson is a poor defender and we have enough poor defenders already

Broken? Yes.
Worn Out? We'll see.
Over Rated? No way. Bronson was awesome running out wide when he didn't try playing before the line.

BWahahahaha :laughing:
