Worth every cent the way he's playing. Wonder if he'll go up another level when Gal and Lewy move on, I think he might.

He's becoming world class hey.

He's on his way to becoming more valuable than a few blokes getting a mil a season

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the Wade-Jimmy short ball being much more effective this season compared to last. Wade seems to be hitting the holes much harder and poking his head through the line more often.

Also have noticed Wades decision making to have gone up a level. He has chosen when to hit the hole, hold play up before shifting to ricky or shift the ball immediately much faster and more effectively. It looks instinctive and well drilled into him this season.

There was an interview with Flanno where he said Wade isn't the type of backrower Jimmy is used to playing with & that Wade has been working very hard on improving his line running etc to fit better with Jimmy.

Do remember that video now you bring it up. Really noticeable imo.

Wade always was the king of half breaks though. Never had a problem getting in between defenders

Wade used to run too wide occasionally - that seems to have changed.

Leaving plenty of room to work with for himself and the 2 outside him now as well as working better off Maloney. Loving it, that and the kick pressure. If he keeps that up he'll have a lot halves a bit iffy about going to their right.

Yep, that's a far better summary of where I was coming from with more detail.
