I think we just have very high expectations.

Wade has to do all of the things a back rower normally does AND play like a second 5/8.

And he's been carrying injury... Injuries... I don't know, I guess I want to see him be our leader. It's not even his form really, it's as much that I don't really see him getting very vocal. Even Chad gets super fired up these days!

Wade lost his spot in the blues because he started to make bad decisions in attack and was overly aggressive in defense and became a liability. he was probably trying to go with what he knows best and making up for the lack of anyone else getting it done but he bit off more than he can chew

his form since hasn't been good enough or consistent enough to warrant his re selection but every time the poor bloke looks like he is back on the up he cops an injury or a HIA

A few of us have always said being captain doesn’t suit his game well and we miss leadership.. feel like hes the type that needs a captain and goes well under men leading him.

The less extra things we can put on him around the club and during games the better - his time under Morris and as captain he has dropped off

Could be... At our best we had cool heads and didn't allow ourselves to get rattled. That seems to be the biggest complaint now

Agree Sparkles. There have been many times when things haven't been going well and I felt the team needed a rev-up, but Wade just stands with the troops saying very little.
Let's see how Woodsie goes and maybe look at having co-captains.

Said hed like to finish his career there too

He can get a few more seasons at potentially good pay without going to another NRL club so that is always good too
I don't care if he plays ESL (in fact, I'd be happy for him), would hate to see him put on another NRL jersey

Imagine playing in a team with this guy as your captain. Put him back to the bench and give Wilton his spot

I thought he was good in the first half. I said in match thread at halftime coming back out the tunnel he did not look like he had any interest in being there.
Headknock probably didn't do him any favours. At this rate Wade might have to call it a career this year. It's honestly been ****ing sad watching him and Fifita fall apart last couple years.
Promise Reynolds the prestigious captaincy?
