What have you heard NK?

Just going back to a couple of his Souths games late in their season when I was told by a couple of people that he looked unfit. There’s no more to it than that but you’d like to think we can get a good pre season in to him and his arrival doesn’t drag on.

Ah right! Fair enough. I do think the fact that he featured in the majority of South's matches last season suggests his fitness is fine though. They were at the top of their game last year and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have got to the GF fielding unfit players.

We’ll see how he shapes up. The lads who mentioned it to me are as far away from people who find fault in everything as you could find, so I certainly trust their judgment that there is work to do. They said he was blowing out of his backside in one game and looked ready for falling over. I posted it on here at the time but forget the game. He did lose his place straight after that from memory, so maybe it’s why he was 18th man and not in the 17 that played in the Grand Final.

I watched the same game and think I posted something along the lines of what your mates said. He looked absolutely goosed at one point and it wasn't after a big run, or long passage of play.

I'm sure he'll be fine and it's not a worrying type of post etc. Just an observation of what was pretty clear to anyone who watched the game.

Fully agree. It’s not me getting in to him before he’s even pulled a shirt on, saying that I’d like him to have as long a pre season as possible but from what they said to me, we will need to make sure we get him in a good place. Every week knocked off that time in pre season training makes it more difficult.

Not sure mate. Depends on flights I would imagine but according to that sometime this week seems favourite.
