Bulldogs star Max King has revealed he\u2019s been forced to move out of his home on the eve of finals due to a mould infestation.<\/p>\n

King has been feeling off for the last six or so weeks and had put it down to a lingering flu. However he found out last week that the cause of his sickness was actually mould that had developed in his bathroom.<\/p>\n

It was having such an effect on King and his family that the club helped them move out and into a temporary home. <\/p>\n

Hynes cleared to play finals footy! | 01:59<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was going on for six or seven weeks. I was sick, my missus was sick and my son\u2019s been sick,\u201d King told AAP. <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was relentless and it wasn\u2019t getting any better.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone suggested mould and when I read into it, I knew that\u2019s what it was.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy symptoms were flu-like, coughing, sweats, going hot and cold, just feeling crook.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a bit of mould in the tiles and with all this rain we\u2019ve had in Sydney, we\u2019d also had a bit of leakage in the roof.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe moved out and the next morning, we felt better. We had removalists the other day and it\u2019s a busy time, so the club has been great at helping us out.\u201d<\/p>\n

King was one of the form props of the competition in the first half of the season, averaging 147 running metres in his first 11 appearances \u2014 which earned him a State of Origin call-up.<\/p>\n

But his impact has dropped off recently with the 28-year-old averaging 91 running metres per game. <\/p>\n

Even King knows his form hasn\u2019t been where it once was this earlier this season and now he has an answer on why he was struggling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were games where I thought I was on my death bed,\u201d he told News Corp.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt affected my performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been dragging my feet for the last six weeks and it affected my performance as a football player.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou feel like you\u2019re letting the team down \u2014 well, you are letting the team down.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re sick, you don\u2019t get the best out of yourself and I feel like there\u2019s been a dip (in form) over the last two months. I haven\u2019t been at my best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who were the best of the rest? | 06:55<\/p>\n

King\u2019s wife, Christy \u2014 who is six months pregnant \u2014 and their two-year-old son Hercules have also been sick from the mould. <\/p>\n

Once the cause was discovered they quickly packed up and moved out with the help of the Bulldogs and instantly felt better. <\/p>\n

Now they\u2019re on the hunt for a permanent home because they won\u2019t be moving back into their old place. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bulldogs star Max King has revealed he\u2019s been forced to move out of his home on the eve…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129328,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[64,63,689,7292,90042,30195,2667,7622,11101,90041,89759,86848,61783,89232,53995,763,2105,89413,50759,17340,3502,90040,90043,673,26504,677,4598,27153,85,670,11737],"class_list":["post-129327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-capital-territory","tag-bizarre-cause","tag-cameron-spencer","tag-canberra","tag-canterbury-bulldogs","tag-cooper-cronk","tag-death-bed","tag-dogs-problem","tag-finals-fixtures","tag-finals-footy","tag-finals-issue","tag-football-player","tag-fox-league","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-hip-drop-drama","tag-injury-disaster","tag-josh-papalii","tag-max-king","tag-mould-infestation","tag-mystery-illness","tag-new-south-wales","tag-news-corporation","tag-oceania","tag-penrith-panthers","tag-running-metres","tag-sports","tag-sydney","tag-team-tips"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
