I agree.
I guess Mortimer will now be re-designated as a half back, but I don't know how long he is likely to be out for? My concerns, other than the coaching, were leadership on the pitch (now hopefully addressed) and we haven't seen a half back (at least, not on our team!) who can lead us around the pitch - including a good kicking game. If we are down to two half backs for any length of time, there is a huge risk there.
