Gutted for him.
When he was healthy this year he was fantastic for us. Weve lost that extra edge to our attack now.

With Wade out with an ACL injury, and needing reconstruction. That'll make him unavailable till around May/June 2019, at the earliest.
And another month or two too regain confidence in the knee.

They way Townsend is playing with confidence leading the team around the park would think he could co-captain will Gal

Does that mean we start next year with a second row pairing of capes and soro? Talk about a step down from wade and lewis.

Yeah and definitely think he's the best option. Seems to be mainly in the middle of late though.

Put boogy on the edge. We have five good middle forwards. Fifita, Woods, Gallen, Prior and Williams. Bukuya runs great lines on the edge.

I think we’ll go ok without him for the remainder of this year.
should get through the Panthers next week and I’m confident in a Melbourne trip.
next year though.
without Wade is gonna be tough

Total gronk
capewell is the obvious choice to start, i thought sorenson was horrific on saturday
shattered for wade as well, terrible luck this season for him
hopefully he just focuses and comes back fresh AF next year wanting to kill people

I would think so too.
I would be tempted to start boogie and then bring on capewell to lift our line speed and ad some footwork when the defense starts to get a bit tired.
If i started boogie i would be tempted to have Paulo on the bench.

BTW I am saying Bukuya on an edge next season. For the next game it has to be half-sack.
He’s a huge loss but we still should have won the roosters game without him. I still say we are a big chance of making the grand final if we can get through panthers and push the storm to the edge. I’d love to knock the storm off in Melbourne.

Guess the team just needs to do the best they can without Wade. There's no replacement that can do what he does for or gameplan.
We have shown there is a pretty effective plan B though. Not having Wade for so much of the season means we have an idea of what to do without him. So there's that...

What a frustrating season for him.

I wouldn't. Townsend has only got better since Val took over goalkicking. No more responsibilities for Chad, let him focus purely on his game.

Make Fifita the co captain. We saw how good he was when Captain.
Though I don't think they'll do a co captain anyway. It'll just be Gal.

They'll need someone for when he's off the field. Will be interesting to see if its a vice captain or a co-captain.
Give it to Val for the Qld love.

No way he'll be gone till Origin. Hodgson was back about r16 after doing his ACL late November 2017. Kelepi Tanginoa did his early this year and made it back before end of Manly's season. 7 and a bit months till kick off 2019 I think he'll be back by r4 physically but who knows when full confidence comes back; very individual thing but Wade seems a resilient lad.
