We have 5/8's coming out of ears - Mortimer, Keating, Mateo...
I just think this is an obvious backup plan in case things get too ridiculous with JH and in the last week or so the prices have been ridiculous ($1,000,000+ from rugby). We might not have a choice with him so why not cover our bets?
A sensible many faceted signing...
I agree with your comments on Hayne. But I think Mortimer is a seven, and I dont think Mateo will ever play five-eight again. K. Keating, in my opinion will end up partnering his brother as hooker and as a bit of a utility player. Maybe next year will see Mortimer at 7 and Humble at 6. Im sad to see Robson go, but I think its inevitable.
what's his defense like?
WHat's his physical attributes? Height, Weight, etc
He is bigger than Mortimer I would say he comes in a shade under 6 ft and about 85-90kg's.
His defence is really good. He makes a stack of tackles, infact earlier in the year in a post match conference his coach said he makes too many tackles and he needed to try and balance his involvement a bit better, which he has done but we have still been amazed at some of the hits he tries to pull off (usually successfully) on props and backrowers.
He certainly does not sherk away from hard work. This afternoon i happened to be down at the ground where the Pride were training. The day after he has secured his future, he was the second guy to arrive at training.
He won't walk into NRL and score 3 tries in every game - who does, but he is ready to go.
Thanks mate,
so we now have someone who can cover Hayne at 1, Mortz at 6 and Hindy at 11.
WOW !!!
Is it Humble as in humble pie or
Hum Bleah like french
This kid is good.
6. Humble
7. Mortimer
He is that awesome that he couldn't force his way into the Cowboys top 25.
I wanna see him play a few times before i get stoked.
AND I agree with the other poster - The Qld cup is a far better standard than the NSW Cup at the moment.
Humble came down to the eels and went through his paces.
He apparently was the fastest over 20 metres that the club has ever seen.. I was told explosive is an understatement.
He is young and a great investment.
