Yeah - if last year was his best so far, why such a drastic change?
Wiki has him as 98kg... Val is 90kg, so that's not a bad weight to be around for a centre.
I think Jesse could use an extra step of pace anyway and don't think the way he plays depends on being as big as a forward. I'm tipping it'll do him wonders

So if we assume that was his old 'playing weight' and he was a bit over during previous preseason (maybe 104/106) dropping 10kg from "this time last year" could mean he is around 94/96kg

I wonder if we identified fatigue as an issue for him and looked to trim him down a bit of excess weight

If you start Kayo stream and go about 35 seconds in he is in the middle of the screen. I'd say he still looks big across chest/shoulders and thighs, waist/stomach is quite slim, maybe a little off the biceps aren't massive?
So I'd assume it is mostly fat he has cut
He certainly wasn't 'fat' before, but does look to have a bit more of an inverted triangle going now.

I'll just stick with your description mate. I've tried picking horses using a similar method and it hasn't helped :)

Sounds like most of the squad has come back a bit more svelt and ready to roll. Suits the faster (ahem) game I'd say

It may interest you to know but, his mother was a mudder
