redlichtie Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Christian Wade is a very interesting prospect. Slightly older at 27 so it's now or never for him but he’s been one of the most dynamic players in the English Premiership for a number of years. Will tick all the boxes physically as he’s a grade A athlete and he’s competed consistently at the highest level domestically as well as Internationally. If he can master the mental side and the nuances of the game he could be successful;. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
