That`s a very big call, Gazzamatta. But.........I agree with you. It`s a good way to earn a reputation as an idiot on this forum, making predictions like this. I think he`ll be our next Brett Kenny (i.e: long-term brilliant five-eight.) I remember the first time Brett Kenny played first grade (was it 1979 or 1980?) I was at Cumberland Oval with my dad, and Kenny played in the centres outside Cronin. I said to my dad, "That guy will play for Australia one day." Humble`s probably not as skillful as Kenny, but he just seems to have that class about him.
I agree and tbh I think once KK becomes more experianced a KK/Humble pairing is greater then Mortimer/KK pairing. IMO Mortimer will sign for the dogs by midway next year and Humble will stay on and that pairing will occur.
I think Mortimer will always attract intrest due to his name and therewill cost more then his worth. I also think KK is capable of running a team from #7. I dont personally think Mortimer would make it as a 9 because his passing in general is too slow and his defence isnt up to it. He is a nippy player but from NYC I thought he would always make it as a fullback rather then a 7. He could make it as a 6 but he needs an organiser at 7.
