Mortimer.

Even Sterlo said that some of Morts kicks were not 1st grade standard.

From memory tonight I remember one excellent kick (nearly a 40-20) and one bust, but apart from that very ordinary once again.

Him and Loko were murdered all night in defence.

Mortimer is garbage. He needs to be dropped. For his sake he should do a Brett Dallas and go the the UK very early in his career. He has nothing.

Actually Sterlo was talking about Robson but he may as well have been talking about both....

His break was a mistake but as Gould said it was something they should look to use again.

I think if anything it comes back to the lack of a halfback that makes Mortimer look worse than he truly is. The main position that needs changing is seven but outside of McGuire which leaves us short at hooker we have little choice unless Murray has his head on straight and plays well for Wenty.

We need a dominating halfback too. One who will get the ball each play. Not what we have now where we have 2 halfbacks on each side of the field but are quite useless

I don't feel Mortimer was that bad. He wasn't good, but IMO he wasn't horrible.

Robson, on the other hand...Missed tackles, kicked out on the full, butchered overlaps...

No,Sterlo made the comment after Morts kicked across the field straight to the open side winger, who then proceeded to make easy yards and put the Dogs in a good attacking position.

Easily one of the worst kicks he has ever put in, and that is saying something.

But Robson did put in some shockers too.

Yeah Mortimor did make a break on his own. Something he's not done in a long time. So he does deserve the utmost praise for that.

I'm pretty sure Robbo kicked that.

Daniel Mortimer is like Chris Sandow without the flair.

Anemic in attack and a turnstyle in defense.

Missed 7 tackles tonight 2 leading directly to trys that I saw.

If you watched him real close I'm sure it would be even worse.
