Wade's numbers across nine Premiership appearances paint the picture of an active, ball-in-hand winger who contributes well beyond a finishing role, averaging close to fifty metres per match from under eight carries. His best outings demonstrate genuine big-game capacity, with a single-match peak of 163 metres and 14 carries showing he can take over a contest with ball in hand. His tackle contribution of nearly four per match adds a defensive dimension that makes him a well-rounded rather than purely attacking option on the flank.
