Hear me out before the booing...

Now, all the training reports I've read have noted LJ struggling with a lot of the running work, with half-pace efforts even leading to him blowing up. Now, while I know the talent he has, if this is how he's going his fitness is almost certainly way down on the rest of the group, let alone what's expected. With Misson's training report suggesting that the team will focus more on the footy rather than the fitness in the new year, it's surely doubtful he will be with the main group by then. I know he only had his first full pre-season last year.

Could he take another year, have another pre-season end of next year with fitness-building throughout 2012 and thus really not be at full flight (fitness-wise...hope he is jump-wise!) til 2013?
