What To Do With Wade?

Make him work hard. No passengers in this club. If he doesn’t cut it then he isn’t in 17. He shouldn’t expect anything else and wouldn’t.
ABSOLUTELY!

Wilton was ripping it up early season, as was that whole flank. Could be coincidence, but we looked a whole lot more clunky once Wade was back.

Underwhelming, but understandable from a loyalty/culture perspective. His place in the 17 has to be on merit, and by that, I mean 2023 form merit.

I'd play Wade as a lock interchanging with McInnes and push Dale to the front row.

Gotta be happy to do the hard yards as your number 1 job at 13, otherwise the ball playing becomes too predictable. I’ve not seen anything in recent years that would suggest Wade has that in him.

Less games he plays the better. Harsh but that's the reality. Hindered Teig's progression too as he was looking decent but turned into another tolman once his minutes were halved.
 

Frenzy.

He'd make a great mentor for fringe blokes in the Jets team.

Otherwise let him relieve Brailey from the bench,

He said himself he may not make the best 17 next year, he's there for leadership role obviously. I was pretty disappointed with his overall performance this season but you don't just kick a club legend like that to the kerb.
I reckon he was a bit apprehensive early on knowing that one serious HIA and he was done. With Fifi and Tolman moving on I have no issue with him having one more year in a Fifi type role on what I'd assume was a greatly reduced contract. Happy to give him the send off he rightly deserves too.

Well I want Sifa in 12.

Wade and Tieg can fight out a bench spot.

Iro left centre.

I was at Leichardt for the Jets last finals game against the Dogs. Iro got mauled in defence at Centre, literally.
His attack was great but unless he is taught how to defend, at Centre, he is not ready for Firsts in that position.
Do you mean a player must be able to play on both sides of the ball?
