Across 28 appearances as a replacement, Whiteley has built a consistent record in both carrying and defence, contributing meaningfully without dominating either phase. His per-game averages reflect a controlled, low-volume role, yet his best outings — pushing six carries and five tackles in a single match — show he can raise his output sharply when the game demands it. That blend of quiet reliability and occasional upside defines his value as a finisher.
