Christian Wade
We are visiting our son in Bath this weekend and went to the junior club he plays for for a drink. We met a guy who coaches at the club who is also involved with the England set up a a fairly high level, generally chatting about premiership rugby and he informed me that the next big transfer was that Christian Wade had signed for tigers, obviously I didn't believe him and told I thought he was joking but he was very insistent that it would happen, anyone else heard this rumour.

Re: Christian Wade
So - a back 3 of Veainu, May and Wade? It's a nice rumour!
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Re: Christian Wade
While that would be a very tasty back three, I just, somehow, can't see it happening (happy to be proved wrong though!)
Re: Christian Wade
I wouldnt welcome that signing tbh. He's rapid and will score tries but bes very one dimensional and I think the money could be better spent elsewhere. The fact that we were struggling to score tries earlier in the season wasn't down to the quality of our wingers.
Re: Christian Wade
I can’t see it happening I think when he does leave wasps he’ll go to france. I also don't think he's the kind of winger that works at tigers, I think tigers wingers gave to come in field looking for the ball, especially when Manu is playing.

Re: Christian Wade
Well that would be interesting.
With Malouf potentially off we might be shy a winger.
Saying that would i rather have that cap spent on a centre yes.

Re: Christian Wade
No thanks there are very good reasons he is no where near the England squad
Re: Christian Wade
Doesn't interest me at all - would much rather keep Malouf than have Wade - defence/high ball/positioning/support are all better if we kept Malouf
Hehehehehehehehe
Re: Christian Wade
Really not a fan of Wade, hope this isn't true. Very one dimensional, doesn't commit to tackles properly, doesn't go looking for work around the pitch. There's a reason he's never properly broke into the England set up despite his flashy tries
Would be much better (and cost effective) to hold onto Malouf and continue to develop him.

Re: Christian Wade
I went to the Ricoh to watch Wasps vs Ulster and Wade was very effective. His tackling in defence was good and he was always looking for work coming inside to find the ball and break the gainline. I guess he was having an 'off' day?

Re: Christian Wade
If Brady and Pakalani made way for Wade then - maybe. If we lost Malouf/Holmes, I'd be less impressed.

Re: Christian Wade
Would be shocked if this was true. However, rumours earlier in the season was Thompstone was leaving. So would be a better replacement and his try scoring record speaks for itself. Probably the best winger in the premiership who isn’t an international.

Re: Christian Wade
Being pedantic he has 1 England Cap (2013) so technically an international though not a current one.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Sat Mar 24, 2018 3:33 pm Would be shocked if this was true.

Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!
Re: Christian Wade
I think the person who came up with this rumour was trying to pull our legs like with the Maka rumour
