This is not a witch hunt on Mortimer and Robson. But results and points on the board over the last year clearly indicate there's a problem with our attack which stem from our halves.
With all halves in the league they need to take the right option in attack, from when to pass (short, long, inside, outside) and to when to kick (long, short, high, grubber). With Mortimer his passing game for a 5/8 is sub par. All he seems to be only to do is pass the ball inside to a forward or short to a centre on the outside. He is not capable of passing a cut our ball and does not ask questions of the oppositions defence. His kicking in ineffective and the game against Souths all his "long kicks" went straight to the opposition fullback.
From what I saw of Tom Humble last year he has a good passing game, who is more than capable of throwing a cut out ball and is able to run the ball. He was a standout in the QLD cup before he came to Parra and therefore worth given a chance to prove himself in the 5/8 position.
Besides that I seem to recall one P Sterling giving him huge wraps last year and said he would make a good 5/8 and we all know what a good judge of footballing talent Sterlo is.
