err.. 'natives', as you call them, are just as capable of professionalism as anyone else, BKB.

..heh, didna mean natives to come across all 'brittania' there.. ..but if he's had post-season surgery [not sure, has he anyone?],, and he's gone back to darwin to visit family, i personally think it's ok for him to take it a bit easy training wise, so he can spend more time just being back with family/culture.. ..if part of that is eating certain foods that aren't conducive to staying trim, then he works double hard to get matchfit.. ..yer don't wanna push too hard, cos you'll lose morale.. ..it's off-season, players already have very little personal life as it is..
