Jeez, poor bloke has had absolutely no luck.

What happened?

Seems to be a shitload of injuries in our ranks at the moment, and those of other SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) AU franchises.
Got to wonder if it is bad luck, poor preparation, amateur management*, or simply that our systems aren't producing bodies capable of standing up to it.
* Thinking Angus Bell here. Foot injury. Back 30 minutes. Foot injury.

Knee injury again in Shute Shield. Was carried off and is due for surgery so you'd assume another ligament tear?
Edit: two ligament tears in a row would surely impact his long term career potential. Terrible for the lad.

Combination of all. Look at the Rugby Championship & EOYT for the Wallabies last year. You can’t tell me they are all coincidence. I go with the flawed treatment and poor S&C idea because players like Bell are elite in any country.
I do believe however we have a number of players not up to standard that are playing Super Rugby. What happens when you use an inappropriate piece of equipment for a job. It breaks.
I hope Harrison is alright in the head after so many set backs. He’s young enough it’s not over for him but I worry it might be at the Tahs at a point. Although he will be a cheap resigning.

Jesus, he has zero luck with his body, the best of the young tens prior to 1st injury but wonder if this is the end of him.

Why wouldn't they? Surely the cost to re-sign would be minimal.

That have a combined sub 50 Super Rugby caps. Someone else might pay more but it doesn't mean they shouldn't try. There also might be a feeling from Harrison that he owes the team after a couple of ruined seasons. He also might just love living in Sydney and playing for the tahs. I'm not suggesting to pay overs but I am suggesting to have a go

Not just dollar cost, there are squad size limits to consider and 4 fly halves is getting a bit unbalanced. In some ways it does make it a bit more likely he'll re-sign reasonably cheaply for a year to stay home and focus on his rehab though. Likely takes overseas offers off the table for the time being too.

Why would anyone else necessarily want to sign an injury plagued playmaker either... He'd probably be a backup anywhere else he signed as well at a professional level. I'm sure he'd rather do that at the Tahs.
Can already see it. Super Rugby title winner with the Brumbies 2025....

Could see him playing in the Centers.
Might be a sign that we are about lose a couple?

I would be surprised to see Perese hang around
