Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 3588307, member: 8272"] In regard to Mozer people are forgetting the physical factor and exhaustion. He's only played 21 Cup games over two seasons, and it was only late 22 he was playing Colts. He's been full time for two years. he averaged 49 minutes in Cup last season. Smoothy is much more physical and better suited to handling it and the 14 role and starting role too if he had to. Smoothy is also five years older, played twice as much Cup and 16 more NRL games been in two systems now. I remember Bennett didn't want to debut Payne because he said he won't handle the physical nature of it, he made the point you can't handle guys that have been doing weights for 12 years when you've been doing them two years. He had to play Haas but did everything he could not to and then he injured his ankle and shoulder in game two and three- Which made his point for him. It was hot and sticky yesterday, it's February and first hit out, Mozer was gassed and some of his passes started to not find their mark. He was still getting to the ruck and moving around the field. His NRL game last year he was on all fours after 10 minutes. Just for perspective the last two Queensland hookers Smith- 28 Cup games and Grant was 41 games. Mozer hasn't got anywhere near that mark yet. [/QUOTE]
