Agree we need to find or recruit in halves not try and manufacture.
What do people mean when they say Wade should play lock? As in should wear the 13? Or should defend with the props and take the 2nd/3rd hit ups? Or some other old fashioned notion of lock?
We could use some better ball movement in the middle third but Lewis, Heighno and Toops are all better candidates than Wade. People whinge about him 'being used as a battering ram' and then want him in the middle duking it out with the Ben Matulinos and Matt Scotts. I don't get it.

Luke LEwis would be my pick of the bunch. he can ball play and his defense is good enough.

Use Wade like Glen Stewart at Manly he goes either side of the ruck in attack to make that extra man - if he gets one on one take the line on or then give him an option inside and out and let him pick which one to use.
Wade played so much in the halves and has a good read of the game that limiting his involvement to just hitting it up and shuffling it wide is a waste.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind having him as a ball playing lock with a license to roam.
He's a footballer who can do a bit of everything. He's a bit of a jack of all trades so I think that role would suit him.
I'd rather put him in that position over the other options due to his age as well. He's still got a lot of football in front of him and we can use him in that role for years.

I agree he does have a fair bit of talent and should be a lock allowed to use those skills not just try to bash his way through the middle , he is not big enough. Why does Flanno not allow his team to play to their strengths.
Agree Wade should be used more in the Glen Stewart style role that is where he will be of the most value to the team.

So you want Wade to wear the 13 jersey but play on the right edge with Watmough actually playing Lock. Ok then.
I am a huge fan of Graham but sometimes I think he is catching Gallenitis.
He is starting to want to do everything. He sometimes needs to step back and let the inside him get involved.
Against Canberra Barba/Leutele/Feki put on 2 tries and had another disallowed without Graham involved.
Sometimes we need to just give early ball to the backs and let them have a go.

Thank you
Difference is Wade has the talent to do it. Gallen just wishes he could and still tries to do it.

Playing our teams best lock in his best position which is lock? don't be ****ing crazy man
having said that, injuries and form with Lewis have hardly been inspiring to make me think it would make much difference and he has slotted in at lock at times and it didn't seem to make much impact. But would really like Lewis to start racking up some consecutive games in the 13 and go from there. Lewis is not a bench player IMO

This is also true

He shouldn't be a bench player for what he cost. If we can get him match fit with no Rep games he still might have the ability to stamp his name on a game or two. and ad some quality to our game........please!!!!!

Was strong again last night besides his couple of errors, the one he dropped with the overlap was a killer
My biggest problem with him at the moment is that he isn't turning the chances he creates into better attacking plays, if he starts getting some of those balls away to his support players his game would look even better
I love the opportunities he is creating I just want to see him go to the next level and turn those half chances into genuine try scoring opportunities
