He had one of best work rates of the SA kids when I watched him in nationals - so don't think it's an arrogance issue in terms of his formInteresting. I wonder if he has dropped in confidence over the course of the season and that impacted his kicking?
He used to be a really confident player who would take anyone on (in a Milera/Cameron mould), but that confidence turned in to arrogance and this is what I heard has really impact on his drafting.
I'm guessing he was told this, it knocked his overall confidence and this flowed on to his football. Interesting one.
Just don't think his skills ( esp by foot) hold up under that level of pressure
You've gotta be pretty damn good skills wise as an outside player at that level and his weren't
The work rate and overlap run was , didn't think he had gear change speed but was a bit like a Simon Goodwin - very good consistent runner from end to end
