The Pirtek Parramatta Eels today wish to advise Daniel Mortimer has been granted a release from his contract with the Club to join the Sydney Roosters.

Eels Chairman, Mr Roy Spagnolo OAM, today paid tribute to the 22-year-old's contribution to the Club since joining the Eels in 2007.

“Daniel has been a terrific member of our Club and everyone here has an enormous respect for him,” Spagnolo said.

“It's obviously been a tough period for him over the past season but he's shown his class throughout.

“Although he had a couple of players ahead of him for a spot this year, he continued to work hard on and off the field and his positive attitude in doing so is a credit to him and his upbringing.

“We're proud of what he's achieved with the Eels and we wish him all the best at the Roosters.”

Mortimer represented the Eels in the SG Ball Cup competition in 2007 before graduating to the Toyota Cup side in 2008, and made his NRL debut in Round 12, 2009.

He will join the Roosters upon approval of the transfer by the NRL salary cap auditor.

you are dreaming Avenger.

I know mate, I reckon the money will go towards Reni's upgrade and some casino chips for Sandow.

No real reason to cheer as he wouldn't see any first grade here anyway.

Cap space?

 

[Avenger]

Maybe a last ditch effort to get Todd Carney ?

He'd look good in Wenty colours.

Cap space?

Who knows. According to Stagger who posted about this in the rumours thread the other day we'll still be paying the bulk of his contract for next season.

Sounds like there has been some wheeling and dealing...

Ringrose to Henson Park?

Go Morts. Thanks for making me look like a f**king idiot.

Ant, Morts and Mini. The roosters will have the smallest spine in the NRL. Weighing in at 240kgs.

Well the NRL doesn't let you get away with less than half I think? Still better than paying the lot, and who knows about 2013.

Minichiello's not small is he? He'd have to be about 90kg which isn't small for a fullback.

Good to see that not every Eels discard goes to the Sharks too.

Cronulla's NSW cup side would have killed it if Morts went there:

7. Smith
6. Morts
