Worst justifications to sign a footballer

[stephenj]

carney isnt a bad player either, we just jumped too quickly when pushed by smith and anasta? both should have been released asa well!

I remember way back in 2001 we signed a bloke who was similarly maligned and unwanted by Parramatta, they didn't rate him as a first grader. In 2002 Jayson Cayless became a premiership winner with the Roosters and a New Zealand international. Just goes to show Parramatta aren't the best judges of who to keep and who to get rid of.......

I am prepared to give him a chance and see how he goes.

Cayless was unable to force his way into a regular position in a star side. Mortimer could not get into the team running second last and was playing poorly for Wenty.

Atleast hes not Brett Finch

We were laughing at the Eels for signing Brett Finch. They are laughing at us for signing Mortimer.

I didn't see much NSW Cup, but he got an honourable mention at 5/8th for the NSW Cup team of the year. Doesn't sound like he was playing that poorly.

"I'm rooting his mum and said he could play for us if she put out"

I've always liked that one.

Alot of the blame was heaped on him last year...both Mateo ans Inu said there were problems that were beyond the players control.
Don't see how it would affect how they played, but they all played crap, not just Mortimer.
Im willing to give him a chance

I really do wonder how many posters on here would eat their words if Mortimer has a decent season.

My guess - hardly anynone.

Easy to sink the boot in.

"Can cover a few positions".

In other words, is not good enough to cement his own position.

Exactly, I'll judge the young bloke once he's actually played a few games for us. He has played well for Parra in the past and I have hope that he will play well again, given a decent opportunity.

He wouldn't be the first player to relish a new beginning and go gangbusters. He has plenty of motivation to prove himself.

That is what Parra supporters were saying about Finch.

Reading through posts here and on the wall relating to the signing of Daniel Mortimer got me thinking what lines you see trotted out that make you realize you are probably signing nothing more than a crap footballer.. to paraphrase some i have read re; Mortimer..

He will be good off the field and with the media
He has a point to prove
Always tries his best

Add some more of these classic cliche's to the list....

He more than makes up for the loss of Carney

Finch may not be looking so bad to Parra supporters after a half a season of the Sandow/Roberts combo. Not sure that's a suitable halves pairing.

Parra are a rabble atm and Kearney is probably the most over-rated coach in the comp! It doesn't help that their forwards are a bunch of nuffies either.

He'll win us a few games imo.

Mortimer was a dud in 2010 also.. Kearney wasn't around then..
