There was an interview from matera earlier in the season (pre-the bye) which contractics this - he said his uncle had a chat to him at end of last season - told him he wasnt fit enough or working hard enough and it spurred him on to put in the biggest off season of his career (included him training over the usual holiday break). He claimed that was why he was so much better this year.It was Ross finally playing Matera in his natural role. Effort was always there.
McCarthy needs to work out he needs to do similar or his will end up playing for peel
