Imo he is the correct choice to replace Wolf.
After losing our 3 first string wingers in recent years we look solid.
The losses of Wolf , Robbo & Hoppa are massive but we have done well.
Taufua stepped up & is still improving to solve 1 wing, though still questions about his ability to diffuse the high ball, is going great.
Now Whare who, since joining Penrith seemed to fade away. After losing Wolf this seemed to be our biggest achilles heel in defending B2B premierships & imo still is.
Whare did play well against the Broncs & suprised me with some of his power running through the ruck gaining some tough yards. This is exactly what we need come finals instead of sideways, dancing runs he produced earlier in his career.
Whares direct running will lay a good platform from kick returns or early scoots giving good field position, momentum & allowing time & space for the halves to create & set up that vital kicking game.
Is whare the best choice for finals footy - Oldfield was the early season choice but Whare seems the more reliable candidate now.
