He would need to become more of a line runner like Nikora or Wilton and less of a ball player if we want him to slot in a do a similar job in attack - but then you may as well just play Wilton or Nikora who are good at that element.
If we want to play to his strengths (often weakness in last few seasons) and have him kicking, passing, cramping his backs and have him play his natural game as a point of difference, maybe take some heat off Hynes/Mozza then I am sure Fitz can find a way to make it work or help Wade be more adaptable.
Fitz has done wonders with our players and team so I probably should show him faith that he will make it work with Wade.
We are a very good team, it's just a matter of does Wade make us more of a very good team or slightly detracts from it?
Won't know till we see him out there playing over a couple of rounds
And the thing is we know Wade
can make us better. He has runs on the board not just Sharks but for NSW and Australia.
Fitz will have a read on it but if Wade can get back to anywhere close to his best he improves us.
A bit different to a guy going decent in Cup and arguing why not see what he can do. We know what Wade can do, might need to give him a few weeks to see if he can find it again or not though.
It is a bit of a tricky spot, I hope he can secure a place in the team on his own quality even if it is reputation that buys him the chance.
I also hope unless he absolutely kills it and stays healthy rest of the year he doesn't consider trying to stay.
We can do big things with him and Fifita off our books.
