The warning signs are all there in the comments. “he left to chase his dream” “he’d become disillusioned with the game” etc etc. A disillusioned, demotivated Wade trying to get back for a couple of years is a massively different beast to the hungry, committed player that started out. For me head needs to rule heart in this one.
Totally this.
People seem to have 'Heard or Understood' a few things. Postman updates aside, he left us mid season and Dai was quoted as surprised and unprepared from a recruitment standpoint to fill that position, that doesn't strike me like a situation a club or business would knowingly put themselves in knowing some 6-7 months in advance.
As Shugs says, he was disillusioned with rugby, blaming others for the fact that he didn't make the Intl stage when fact is he just wasn't rounded enough. He didn't take his Saxons or Lions opportunity to stake any definitive claim. Every winger wants to play intl rugby and ultimately fails without blaming other other factors. If my memory serves me, his last season or so was some what of a nothing contribution.
Don't get me wrong, he scored and created some sublime stuff, some utter brilliance...but IMO he's held in an esteem he doesn't deserve and for me, showed the club little respect, only servicing his own needs.
Having not achieved his ultimate 'dream', he's sniffing around the game again having quote: built up an appetite? - How did he do that?
I'd never date an ex that cheated on me.
