mortimer at fullback?

hey guys this might be a dumb statement but  do you think this would be any good?

 

compared to hayne hes got the speed, the abilty to break tackles, not afraid to tackle big blokes in defence and good short passing and kicking game

 

the only things he would have to work on would be a longer kicking game and a bit more body mass

  • I can't see Mortimer working at fullback, not now, and probably not ever.

    He doesn't have a great deal of speed, at least not in the Hayne, Jennings, Uate category.

    Not something I'd really want to see.
    It's either five-eighth or hooker for Morts.
  • It wouldn't work in defence imho, I think it would work in Attack though, cause he can take the line on or he can pass the ball to Tahu or cut it out to burt or on the other side to Reddy and Grothe, but then again Hayne can do that aswell
  • No chance...
  • Not if he doesn't want to get his head ripped off. He's slow (relative to Burt or Hayne) and he can't jump. He's a developing half and needs more time there.
  • NO NO NO NO NO DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB. sorry mathew no chance.
  • His defensive capability would come into question, he gets targeted enough as it is.
  • Mortimer at fullback would qualify for the Funniest Moments in Football blog
  • this is one of the worst suggestions ever..sorry mate..
  • Matthew, good you're thinking outside the box, although, I reckon Mortimer is suited to 5/8 (or hooker maybe) and that's about it.
  • This may actually be the funniest thing I've ever read.
