I learned something about Wade that shall remain with me forever during our latest game against the Storm at AAMI. I believe we were either slightly trailing, or scores were tied and my confidence was down for some reason, possibly due to our many butchered opportunities. In the last 10 minutes of the game, when Wade was standing infront of the one eyed verbally abusive Melbourne crowd, as his side awaited to receive the line drop out.... Wado turned towards the purple screams and taunts, and gave the biggest smile I've ever seen, flexing his biceps and pointing towards the tattoo which was placed upon it.... As the abuse increased in volume, so did the spark in his eyes and the width of his smile as he pointed towards his ring finger and held it in front of them with such a confidence of which I was in such awe...

A confidence which was followed by an epic line break in the most difficult of conditions and one of the most vital and volatile of moments in the game's position, not only in field but in terms of the clock.


This guy is the real deal.

You cant pick Graham ahead of Cordner

I'd make Cordner play on the right. If he's one of the best back rowers in the game he can play that side no worries. Graham is picked over Jackson. Frizzel is on the bench IMO because he will play some time in the middle.

Why cant wade play right using your scenario?

I think part of te appeal of Wade in the team is having a left foot kicker on the left side of the field. Cordner is also the more experienced player so less perceived risk.

The other thing snow is that you probably want Wade on the same side of the field as Cronk - after the job he did on him 3 weeks ago.

So much more danger on that side with Wade's ability to anything that the defense doesn't want to have to deal with .
Just add Wades mate Maloney inside and halaluya NSW

Maloney's combination with wade is nowhere near as potent as what Maloney and cordners was

Definately not knocking the Maloney /Cordner combo .
But NSW need both on the field .
Cordner could handle lock in defense and roving lock in attack .
Graham gives the attack so many more options
Run angles as a foil for Maloney to by-pass or run , can blast thru holes too , offload , cut out passes and kicking behind the line. All Threats as well as harrasing Cronk .
I believe QLD would prefer Cordner on the left

Do you read what you write before submitting? Wade nails boyd in terms of experience.
Boyd is the better player, you dont move him to accommodate Wade, you move Wade somewhere else.

Why would QLD want the best left sided second rower in the game to play there?
They would want them to do something retarded like move boyd to lock or right edge and exploit that.
Legit.
