He's a great runner of the ball, and whether you like it or not he has been far better than you give him credit for. Him not being there is not the reason we won tonight; it is because we didn't clock off in the second half. Jeff Robson was average at best, the team still looked bad in attack and only through moments of individual brilliance from some players did we score.
FFS you anti Mortimer people who think he is the whole reason this year is lost have no f**king clue, and you obviously can't figure out that even though he has been wearing the number 7. he has been playing his natural game, as a FIVE-EIGHTH.
Robson has been our real halfback for those three wins and for those two terrible losses.
Also, if we had a halfback like Cooper Cronk in the team, guess what, we would still be right where we are on the ladder! Why? Because all of our players have been hugely inconsistent and have not put in the effort required to win.
Whether you f**king well like it or not, he is not the reason we are playing so badly, and even without him there we still were shocking in attack. Fair dinkum, mate; learn to actually pay attention to our team the whole bloody season before laying the blame solely on Mortimer.
I'm getting sick of this....honestly, if you were Parramatta fans, you would be acknowledging he is a great running five-eighth, which is what a lot of great five-eighths simply were (like Kris Keating is as well), and also acknowledging that he is not the sole reason we have been losing games. Our attack would not have improved a slight bit no matter what you did because Mateo was lazy pretty much all season, Jarryd is the only real playmaker in our team (honestly, people saying Humble/Mitchell/Robson etc are better playmakers than Mortimer are off their heads....they are all bloody runners!) that can control the game, something you can't blame Mortimer for when none of the other 'halves' in our team can do it, and also simply because every single one of the players I named will need a dominating or organizing halfback to play well.
Also, you lose pretty much any credibility you have by essentially saying Mortimer was just riding the train last year and that in NYC he was crap. Wow. You are so not biased, and I am so going to listen to your unbiased arguments!
You can't even stick up for one of your own players when he is having a bad year. Grow the f**k up.
