Well, others just have to step up. Big testing period. It's often said a certain game lets a side know "where they are at"

This will tell this side where they are at.
Maybe one of the reasons Wade is in the starting side, for leadership, and taking that pressure off Nicho, plus Wilton is probably better in the middle than Wados

You do realise that we are running out of first grade middle forwards, don't you?
And do you think Wilton or Graham is a better middle?
Wilton is a better edge player for sure, on who is a better middle, possibly Wilton as well.
Easier solution have Wilton on edge and Hazelton on bench to play middle, drop Graham

So you'd put a reserve grade player in before our club Captain, Australian and Nsw representative player.

You're a ruthless man, Stakey.

Wade had a couple of stellar games before some long term (maybe age related and games played related ,injuries ) cruelled him. I'm still not prepared to write him off . I remember players like Bob Oreilly, Artie Beetson , Alphie Langer , etc being written off and coming back to play big part in big games . Dont write off champions. Oh yeah one Luke Lewis played pretty well in a Grand final at end of his career too.

Yep.
I get it that we haven't seen that great player that he has been, but if my club, OUR club, tossed him aside so easily, well I would not forgive them, ever.
And.. I'm pretty sure with the Fitz-Culture that is being bought into, that will not happen.

If Stakey cannot handle that, well IDGAF, his problem, not mine.
