Would definitely much rather Wade in the halves over Brailey.
100% would want Wade on the bench for the finals... but I'd rather give someone else a go during the season. That's the hardest part about his selection at the moment for me
Id prefer Colquhoun over either Wade or Williams
I think Williams definitely gets the jump over Colquhoun. He looked really good again in the trials. If our bench has McInnes, Williams and Kaufusi, we will absolutely demolish teams with quick play the balls and speed through the ruck.
Completely. Add a big bopper in either BHU or Hunt on the bench and our pack should be fairly strong.
Williams could play edge in a pinch. But it does return you to the key bench question of whether or not to play a utility. I don't mind having one if they have a purpose in a game with no injuries, and they are the best player for that purpose. However, having one like Trindall last year, who would come on for 10 mins of lock, just to get him game time feels silly. You can argue that at least Wade may be more effective for 10-20 in the middle, but I'd still rather Williams play that role in most games tbh.
Mid game we might not have an option depending on line up but I would prefer to never start him there if we can avoid it. Realistically though he is probably edge 4 or 5 and maybe one further up if Wade wouldn't cover right.
They have been for a few years.
