Quote: DaveO "Budgies cool head and awareness has always been something I have thought makes him a cut above many players. He had this before he went to the NRL. He has done things like have the presence of mind to kick inside and tries have resulted when many wingers with more experience than him would have taken the tackle.
I think saying he has lost some pace is ignoring Cas have some speedy players of their own. We don't have a monopoly on pace.'"
Completely agree with your first paragraph, though regarding his pace Gildart has never struck me as being particularly speedy, but looked to be cruising in support of both tries, even had time to switch lines from left to right of Budgie for the second.
