Johns admits he underestimated Mortimer

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on September 27, 2009 at 9:11am

I WAS wrong about Daniel Mortimer and I don't mind admitting it. When I started working with him last December, I thought he was 18 months away from being ready for NRL football. I told Eels coach Daniel Anderson as much. At the time, he didn't disagree. Physically, Mortimer was nowhere near ready. Skill-wise, I had a question mark over him as well. But sometimes you get it wrong with players. And in Mortimer's case, I definitely got it wrong.

"Did you watch him play in this years final for Souths? He was owned by old man Gagai. Laurel went missing all game although he did pass the ball from dummy half a lot to the other outside backs to work it out of their end. Massive NO."
