Peter Mortimer provides solid support for his son Daniel

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on July 6, 2010 at 12:51pm

PLENTY of people are concerned about the form of Parramatta halfback Daniel Mortimer.

His father, Peter, is not one of them.

With the Eels in the midst of an alarming form slump, highlighted by their spluttering attack, Peter Mortimer yesterday predicted his son wasn't far off recapturing the form that helped guide the club to last year's grand final.

"He doesn't let other people's criticism change his focus," the former Canterbury centre said.

"I think he's handling it extremely well.

I hope Peter is right. I think Daniel might need to go down to Orange and have a swim in Lake Cannobalis to Harden up a bit

  Morts is doing just fine. It's the number on his back that is wrong. We really need a 7 and just let him play of the back of the forwaqrds and get into dummy half....

Again with the 'not far off" statement ...drinking too much Cab Merlot for his own good is Peter.

  Of course he has come out and said this, he is not much of a father if he comes out and says he is playing like a busted.
  
  What gets me a bit more is Anderson whose lame attempt to blame Jarryd Hayne for Mortimers poor play smacks of a self delusional dad at a junior footy game saying 'my little timmy would be a good player if that big boy didn't hog it'.

He is definitely struggling this year, but they do say beware the 2nd year syndrome.
