Actually he's probably quite a good barometer.

If he's in your top 13 you are a bad side.

If he's in your top 17 you are probably struggling with injury.

If he's outside your top 17 but available you probably have good depth and handy back ups in case of emergency.

Are you talking about premiership winner, Mortimer?

While I agree with your point, he has played in two grand finals. One for a loss and one for a win.

He was in the roosters premiership winning top 17 side for most of the year.

But agree not a top 13 player.

Mortimer was a solid five eight and played well in that roll for us the year we had that great run to the grand final. He's a ball runner, not a play maker /organise. Unfortunately after that year he's been used mostly as a dummy half or halfback. Those organising roles never really suited him.

I guess the point he is making is that for each of those GF teams he started the year outside the 17.
The teams who moved him into the 17 (or 13) didnt enjoy such success

Mortimer only played for half the year in 2009. Also, I actually think Jeff Robson helped him a hell of a lot to settle into first grade and just concentrate on what he does best.
