Title: Wade leaving the door open

Seems that Wade isn't completely closing the door on his rugby career. Maybe we'll see him back in black and gold after all.

If he doesn't make it in American football then, if he does return to rugby, I think he'll sign up for one of the new pro teams in the US league. I can't see him coming back to the EPL and I can't see Wasps taking him back.

Unless Wasps have some sort of legal call on him if he returns to rugby. The fact he left without any animosity would suggest there might be an agreement of sorts.

Surely a lot of it may depend on his American girlfriend.

He could have burned all his bridges, he could have left with Dan and Derek's blessing. We don't know either way.

But the idea that he hasn't completely given up on rugby is intriguing...

There'd always be a club willing to give him a wage, if it wasn't Wasps, or as much as he was on before.

The Baabaas wanted Christian to turn out for them last weekend.

That would have been awesome. Though I can understand why he didn't.
