OT: Daniel Mortimer fullback

[Gronk]

Sledging little people is not cool.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Yeah pick on someone your own size you bullies!

 

[Bigfella]

The theory is that if he is kicking it down the opposion fullback's throat all day anyway, then at lleast its going further if he kicks it from fullback

 

[spiderdan]

Give the kid a break, while he didn't kick on with the eels after his debut season, he always gave 100% and never created trouble of the field.

too true.

He aren't as slow as he is made out to be.

is that you george w?

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

As much as id like to see him excel at the chooks, i can't see him turning int a good fullback.

 

[Utey]

I will never forget that try vs dragons in 2009 with that little scoot.

 

[PJ Marshal]

jeff robson would tell the sharks to get f**ked if they asked him to play fullback

 

[strider]

he did alot of good stuff in 2009 - i think people have short memories ... he's involved in alot of things in this video of the 2009 magic run - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XI1RaRcSjY

 

[hindy111]

the sharks must be wishing they didnt sign robson now with carney coming : )
Mortimer id like to see come good.I doubt he will...But he is young and motivated and wants to play.Why would people mock someone for having a go?

 

[hindy111]

I dont see why people mock the poor guy for having a go while most sit on there fat bums stuffing chips down there throat watching him play....
Id love to see him do well.I dont think he will ever become a great player but possible a handy toiler

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Nah he's a hack.

 

[Gronk]

Needs to go back to the winery or get a job with a circus with the other little people.

 

[Runaround Man]

I think he will go well at fullback.
great tackler, will put his body on the line,
good under the high ball, again will put his body on the line,
good at backing up, he just needs to sniff around and wait for the playmakers to create the gaps.

Could be a Brian Smith master stroke. If Mortimer has any early success there he will feel more confident and then it could just come off.

Good luck to him...

Someone who comes out in the press (I know, they hound him, but he doesn`t have to play up to it) and makes the sort of comments he makes, is fair game I reckon.

How many bombs have you seen him catch in first grade?

Furthermore, due to his lack of pace, most outside backs will just run around him.

[Maroubra Eel]

Yeah but the little bloke tries really hard.

Well done boys. I was going to pick this post apart yesterday but didn't know where to start.

Preston Campbell tries really hard... but then he has skills and speed as well

Well the bat-down for Burty to score in the 2009 Prelim against the Dragons has to count for something
