Mortimer is all class

[Parraren]

I can't believe how well this kid is playing.

Some of (actually most of) his touches are outstanding - what about the flick pass to Hayne for Robson's try. Outstanding.

Brilliant support play, alsways backs up on a break, plenty of ticker in defense against monsters running at him all night and he gets back up every time after getting knocked down.

And what about the kicking game - finds ground on just about every kick.

I love this kid.

 

[Twizzle]

same here, I think he gets better and learns more every week

cant wait to see him play next to KK

 

[parra-matters]

he seems to get better every game and has so much time with the ball in his hands.

 

[Kornstar]

I actually thought he was a little off in the first half but he certainly picked his game up and the second half was much better.

Great post.....the kid is all class.

I hope we're able to hang on to him beyond next year.

True.

And I think that's anohter thing about him i'm really impressed with.

Most young players might go into their shell but Morts just brushes himself off, keeps a level head and does his job. Mentally he's very strong imo.

HJ will probably molest me for this, but he's definitely good country boy with a great attitude an amazing work ethic..not surprised at all.

I am surprised that he's doing it so quickly though.

Said it since the 1st day he was in 1st Grade, This Kid is something spiecal, He is in a higher class then Tim Smith.

I really hope we get this kid signed up soon, Along with Hayne they are the backbone of our backline.

 

[Avenger]

he is great but the more I see him the more I think he is a 6 and not a 7. That's Ok Keating will do at 7 for the long term.

 

[Pazza]

cant wait to see him strike a combination up with Mateo and Tahu

his kicking game is awesome btw

 

[natheel]

I honestly would like to see robbo resigned and have kk come off the bench.
Robbo brings that steady level head that Mortimer needs with him I rekon

 

[hineyrulz]

The kid just keeps improving each week, and his kicking game has been ourstanding. He was targeted all night in defence and missed a few but kept coming back for more. His attitude and temprament for a rookie is well beyound his years.

 

[natheel]

Also in regards to him being better than tim smith I agree...smith seemed to pretty much coast at the same level with his talents where dm keeps building and building on each game

 

[eeelectroshooting?]

maybe because he is playing his role in the team exceptionally well.

but the 7 on his back and im sure we'll see a slightly different approach to his game.

Strange; the more I see him, the more I think he's a seven. He's certainly got class (whatever that means). One thing that seems to be creeping into his game that I don't like, though, is his propensity for reflex passing. He sometimes just passes the ball as a reflex action (he's got very quick reflexes) and puts the recipient under pressure, rather than be a little more judicious about it. It looks amazing when it comes off. But when it doesn't, it results in a dropped ball or the recipient being creamed.

I understand what you mean Lingard but dont you think that will come with more experience, he does get better every time he plays another game.!;-)

I told you he'd make it back in 2007....;-) but I can't say I thought he'd settle this well either.

Has a great all round game - support play, good passing game, good kicking game (long and short) and a very good running game.

He'll fill the seven jersey eventually and is probably best served at the moment playing second receiver.

I have seen flashs of a #7 in him but atm he is definatly more a 6. I expect him and KK to line up in the halves next year and I dont think it will matter who wears the 6 or 7 as they will probably share the role amoung themselves.

You sure did. I remember it well. I thought Hodkinson would be the man but you picked the right one. Great call. :thumb

Yes I do, Fee. I think he WILL be something very good for us. But right now he has some flaws in his game. I wouldn't ordinarily point them out but, as usual the media and some of the fans are building this young fellow up. If his name wasn't Mortimer - if it was Smith or Jones or McGooley, he wouldn't be talked up so much. But yes, he is good, and he will get better.
