On the contrary, blokes like Whitey are stepping up when our top shelf have their fingers in their bums and getting worked over. Several times over the past few weeks where White has single handedly hurt the opposition with his pace. Wins the footy, wins the foot race, and if he doesn't kick it himself he gives it to someone who does.
no doubt hes improved. but lets just say im scarred for life by players like white and i question with good cause if they can maintain it.
imo hes at a level where he needs to be he cannot drop off he must learn to maintain the level on a consistent basis and he needs to do it when real pressure is on.
imo the biggest improvent has come from him not panicking as much as normal and hes looking to buy more time ride a tackle etc. hence he makes better decisions and uses a bit better. i reckon wacko jacko is the same.
still you see parts of their games and you just cringe at times. still think his kicking for a small player very average.and the brain fades are there.
stil think he needs to find a lot more ball as well against boys he had more than 20 possesions for the first time this yr. hes going at about 12 possesions a game not enough for a mid.
anyway yes he has improved a bit in recent times and at times hes provided a bit of a spark with his pace. still i prefer we look for an upgrade
