Harry Potter - Tigers Highlights (2020-22)

Post by StanWilks »

Hello again, Tigers Fans!

I don't know if you'd agree, but I thought Harry Potter was absolutely brilliant this year in the red, white and green, so I compiled his highlights from the previous three seasons into a quick video: https://youtu.be/Ig_XtTcZO-I

As one of the more underrated players in the squad, I felt compelled to give him his time in the sun.

I hope you enjoy it. :)

All the best!
Used to play rugby. Kind of a Poundland Cipriani? Yeah, I'll go with that.

Haha. That was something special, but I made an oath to avoid any and all references/jokes to magic, wizardry or Hogwarts as he's probably sick to death of it.

Thanks for watching!

Hi Stan, he really is up there with Porter as one of those excellent under the radar signings, his try at Gloucester particularly sticks in my mind.
Thanks for the hard work.

Very well said! Like Porter, it's a signing you don't necessarily understand at first but, with time, you see why.

Good choice on his try against Gloucester! That's probably my favourite of his.

Thank you for watching and for the kind words!

I’m wanting to say Matt Taylor but he could be someone different :smt017
I don’t think they necessarily came with him but it was through his contacts.

Yep Rob Taylor, joined us from Sydney University.

Shortly after we announced the sigings of both Porter and Potter from Sydney University

+1

His work rate all around the park is excellent, sound under the high ball and his chase is exceptional. I'd just feel more comfortable if he kept his tongue in when running! One surprise tap tackle and things could get very messy!
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Ooh, that's a good observation. I've seen Porter - and many other players, for that matter - sticking out their tongues playfully, but that is a disaster waiting to happen!
