Morts gone to Roosters

Morts played over 50 games in 1st grade straight and he showed no playmaking ability in my eyes.

kicking - too shallow and always hit the fullback on the full
passing - doesn't have the vision and rarely throws a good ball to backs
speed - Isn't slow but isn't fast either
defence - tackles his heart out

Overall he's no great loss and there is no way we could have Sandow and Morts in the same team.

Just because you think he doesn't fit into Parra style, doesn't necessarily mean he CAN'T play.

If you can't pass, you can't pass
If you can't kick, you can't kick.

The field sizes are the same and I doubt different colours on a jersey will fix it

Snoopy was signed up by Souths as its Assistant coach when Matty was replaced by Steve Georgiallis at Penrith.
Good bloke Snoopy..one of the best actually..

Yeah, didn't work with Casey McGuire when he went to Brisbane..or with Scott Prince when he switched from Cowboys to Broncos to Tigers...I see what you mean....

You are entitled to your opinion, just as much as I am to mine. You think he is no good, I think he will be a success at his new Club...Time will tell...I think Brian Smith is just the bloke to bring it out of him - along with Matthew Elliott who is Brian's assistant in 2012.

Gus Gould also wanted Daniel at Penrith..he too can see the potential in him. Gus had (Uncle)

Chris Mortimer in his 1990 Grand Final team (beaten by Raiders) and he is aware of how tough the Mortimer clan are....

understand what your're saying Pete. McGuire is a wrong example to use. He was young when he went back to Brisbane and hadn't played over 50 1st grade games in a row.

Scott Price kept breaking his legs at Cowboys and Broncos and needed to be injury free so his potential could be fulfilled. He got that at the Tigers.

Sorry, Pete.

Sorry for what???? having an opinion??? Don't EVER be sorry for that...
Difference of opinions is what makes horse racing so popular.
Funny thing about coaches...Mick Hagan has a premiership to his credit, David Furner has coached a team into the NRL finals and was Assistant Australian coach...BUT neither can coach? Can't follow that one!!!
Wayne (Snoopy) Collins has coached a Reserve Grade premiership..and has been a Club assistant coach at the Raiders, Penrith and now Souths since.
Snoopy played in a Grand Final with St George under Brian Smith..He wouldn't know anything about the game either.......
Seems like all the good judges and all the good referees, plus the BEST coaches are ALL sitting in the Grandstand. That's what makes sport (doesn't matter what sport it is) so good..
We are always better than those actually doing the job..

"A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.".....Vince Lombardi

Actually, Chris is going to be in town tomorrow night and again on Friday so I will catch up with him for a beer...

Maybe the Broncos could see Casey's potential..Maybe Daniel will get an opportunity like Scott did..with the Chooks...Time will tell..

Pete, Mortimer played over 50 1st grade games with no major injuries.
Like I said, only thing holding Scott Prince back were injuries not skill. Your examples dont relate to the topic.

Lets just see how he goes. Not a chance that he'll ever be a major loss....NEVER. With the signing of Hopoate who will most probably play fullback and Hayne will move to 6, can't see how some people are saying he'll be a massive loss.

If the kid had a bit more size and pace it would do wonders for him. Hope he succeeds with Roosters, he deserves it

The main difference is obviously Kearney.

That said, I thought at the time that re-signing Morts was a great idea, as did everyone else. The club was just giving fans what we wanted.

Then when it was identified that Mortimer had to go, it's good that the people in charge managed to make it happen.

If anything, good on Morts for taking a pay cut.

Nice post.

After the Round 26 game against the Warriors last year in Nathan Cayless's swansong, Suity and I went onto the field and we were both particularly critical of Dan's kicking game that night. We stood 40 metres away from each other and couldn't believe he couldn't get that distance. Of course he's under pressure and in a game situation but one would expect your half to be able to do that.

In saying that however I honestly wish him all the best and hope he improves as a player because he has a lot of wonderful qualities as a human being, is very tenacious and spirited and displayed he has the potential to offer something to a rugby league team during our 2009 run. However I think for both parties involved it's good that we part ways as what we require in a play maker he cannot provide to us.

He'd probably be everything we'd want in a player if he was in a back-rowers body but alas he is not. Hopefully he can be more successful at the Roosters.

Nice post.
