Can't use early ball as an excuse. He should watch a few tapes of Justin Hodges, and learn how to inject himself into the game. Not only is Hodgo older, but his knees are a lot worse. He pops up everywhere, centre, dummy half, and god forbid, is taking one for the team and playing fullback now.
Des Hasler should have dug his heels in and made him play out the season at FB. Might a lost a few pounds, and scored a few more tries. If it's good enough for GI, it's good enough for JMoz.
JMoz poor form is all about effort and attitude in my opinion.
