He knows where the try line is instinctively, surely. That was never coached into him.
If our backs were sparkling this year, I could understand the reticence, but the back performances have been dire, not dire as in an off year, but dire as in you have to go back twenty plus years to fins something this ineffective. Frankly Josh Lewsey in a zimmer frame would be attractive after this year, let alone a fit Wade, regardless of when he last touched a ball in anger.
Even at our worst, in the relegation by a whisker season, Wade and Vardell had more threat than the current back three combinations. It has to be worth the risk. If the worst comes to the worst we can always resort to pushing the drinks cabinate one inch closer to Berlin. Wade just being on the pitch should create space.
