Slow start last year, not very fit, then seemed to get his act together after a rumoured stern talking to. This year seems to have neglected his off season fitness again which is disappointing.
He broke his fibula in the July before he joined us, so it was no surprise that he didn't start in great shape because he will still most probably been rehabbing going into preseason and behind everyone else and CC will have known & seen this, so I doubt there was any stern talking to, just a gradual improvement in fitness imo. When he broke his leg he was only just back playing after the Motorway pile up he was involved in, that resulted in a dislocated hip, so just about a full season off with serious injuries. IMO he did a great job getting back to play Pro RL full stop, let alone just about getting back to the player he was pre-injuries.
Seems there's a couple of rumors going around about the bloke that are nothing more than that.
