We'll miss Wade's kicking game but I reckon we will actually be stronger with which ever option we choose .
Sorry DJ

Wade hasn't kicked since Rd 8 and prior to that he'd only kicked in 4 games. In those games he kicked for 104, 80, 27 and 37 metres. With 1 drop out created. So don't think we'll miss his kicking game like previous seasons.

Also he's got no try assists and only 1 line break assist all season.

This isn't an attack Wade post, he's just clearly off, whether it's the head knocks, game has passed him or both but I don't think we'll really miss Wade much these 4 games what so ever. So good think he rests up and also gives Fitz a look to Talakai/Tieg taking that spot next year if Graham isn't around.

Good post mate. We all miss Wade at his best and hope he fully recovers / gets back to his best form.

Unfortunately the way the game is played now with the speed etc I think it's going to be so hard for the older players to get back into the groove.

His defence was better last year when he was match fit. It will improve this season too with each game after coming back from injury.

Needs match fitness. Still should be our 12 whilst wades out but limited minutes.

Wilton to 12, Talakai off the bench to play middle. Those were some horribly poor misses.

From our intimidating forward

Poor defensive reads and positioning mostly, I don't think he lacks the interest in physicality running the ball or tackling.

But he does need some work. Still prefer him in our squad than another teams.

Sit this bloke down for a week or two. We cannot survive with his defence in big games. He needs a come to jesus conversation.

Love his carries but really needs to work on his defence. Back to the bench for some impact, start with Wilton
