    Serious
    Cause
    Several solid weeks have made him an undisputed pick.
  4. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor
    Cause
    It was a private show of faith after a tough recent run. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.

    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
  5. Praised privately for his recent performance

    Serious
    Cause
    The discussion focused on his recent performance level.
  6. Clashed with Sibongiseni Ngcobo over training standards

    Minor

    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  7. Clashed with Heitor over training standards

    Minor

    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
  10. Warned about his body language

    Moderate

    The issue was less about ability and more about his reaction when things went wrong. His match rating of 5.8 weighed heavily in the talk.
