Well tbh I think we have seen Mullen at his peak, and this is it. He wille be an orford type palyer IMO (Pearce is much the same IMO) who will perform with a good team but will struggle in a under-peforming team - he is not a player that will win a match for you when its is there to be taken.
Tim Smith has a superior game to the guys I mentioned, guys like Wallace, Mullen and Pearce wish they had Timmy passing game. Again I will say it, his mental state has actually stopped him performing at his best and that is his biggest problem. Timmy on of the best halves taht I had seen for his age when he hit first grade. KK is very much in a Cronk mould of a player, has a great running game, a good kicking age and goo passing game but will not pull off the plays that timmy could. The difference is that KK will be consistant and will form a solid halves partnership with guys like Mateo and Hayne at the back.
I actually prefer KK and Mateo are our starting halves next year, but I have a feeling that Timmy will be back in the blue and gold next year and will probably partner KK in the halves. Mortimer and Mitchell will probably fight for a bench spot with Mateo at #13.
