As much as I rate Wade as a great talent, I wouldn't want to sacrifice our good depth to keep him.
so you wouldn't sacrifice players who are behind him in the pecking order? you'd keep lesser players and allow him to go somewhere else? that's weird.
Wade is a talent and still so young, he's the kind of guy you'd want here long term. He's probably got the right build to become an excellent and tough second rower or lock, in the vein of Gallen. and in a few years when Gal's time is up, we're going to need a competitor like Graham to take his place. i say keep Graham even if it means putting him on a solid salary; i'd lean towards a modest but incrementally increasing salary with incentives, but at least 4 years. lock him down, let him get on with his footy and say if he wants the extra moola to ****in earn it
