Sheaf has always had the talent and potential. He just needed a run of games for his confidence and match awareness, which we’re now seeing the benefits of.
He also had an underlying injury which has been resolved for this year.
It’s part of the reason I didn’t understand the hyperbole re James not signing - Sheaf has the attributes to play the same role, he just needs time.
It’s a shame it took a while for people to see, as I’ve said before he’s not a standout Hollywood ball type player like Hamer, so isn’t immediately as noticeable, but glad it’s being recognised by more fans now.
