The funny thing is o'sullivan let him go from the storm when he came to us according to the interview bellamy did around the time of the 09 grand final.
Full circle for morts. Maybe osullivans standards have dropped now he doesnt have a blank cheque book?
Maybe they have dropped but he is good at spotting raw talent.
Just my opinion though, nothing to get hot about. You either agree with me or you don't..and either way it doesn't bother me.
One NRL coach I have spoken to about Daniel told me that learning to play NRL is like learning to drive a car. When you are on P plates, you are nervous watching every possible thing and often get distracted. After you graduate to a full licence everything becomes second nature..Not a bad analogy.
Mortimer has played about 50 games in First Grade, and is now off his P Plates. The thing I like about him is his desire to achieve, and his willingness to work at it.
As Jack Gibson said once.."If your job is a street sweeper, make sure you try to become the best street sweeper in the business".
In my opinion, Daniel has that determination. I think in his last game with Parramatta he topped the tackle count. That makes him a Jack Gibson type player, and with his family background, he has the drive to make it. I really hope he does..
