Out for 7 weeks apparently!

I love Wade but we're really getting no value out of him. Last 3 seasons it's been 10, 19 and 11 games we've gotten out of him. Best case we get 18 this year/ Not that he wants to get injured obviously but we can't keep him after this year. Basically forgotten what's its like to have him in our team which is sad.

Good news is we have some leaders ready to step in.

Between Graham and Fifita that’s a lot of coin which we will hopefully have freed up for next season

I’m not disappointed to be honest, I’d rather Wilton out there

Fmd this sucks.

I'm disappointed, a fit and healthy Wade is better than Wilton at this stage.

And it’s just a freak ankle twist with no relation to any other issues, guy can’t catch a break.

He can’t be retained unless he wants to give back and sign on like 200k. Just go to France

It just sucks extra because a Moylan-Graham left side could be so good, but there's no point thinking about it since one or the other is always injured.

Think Tieg should keep the 11 all season if fit, and we can start to plan for 2023 without Wade

NRL site saying up to 4 weeks now, so that's good.
See Sharks website

Graham is scheduled to visit a specialist this week with surgery to follow. He is expected to be sidelined for around six weeks.

The loss of Graham comes as a blow to the Sharks with Cameron McInnes and Jack Williams to also be unavailable for round one after the pair recently underwent minor knee surgeries.

Chad left to avoid it... Wade's 'injured' after having received a few votes... Nikora's gone from project to transfer... SF Whipping Boy could be the least wanted moniker in rugba league

No wonder the poor **** has concussion issues, check out the hit from nearly 10 years ago which was just a report!
A send off now you reckon?


Wade played on for 10 more minutes and later had the following to say, with his support likely contributing to the charge being downgraded from 3 to 2

"That stuff just happens in a game ... it was a great shot by Frank," Graham said. "With a player like Frank, you take your eye off him for a second and he'll get you. And that's what happened. He got me fair and square with a great hit.

"It was a bit unfortunate his shoulder struck me in the chin, but things like that just happen in rugby league. There was nothing bad about it.

"I would hate to see Frank get suspended over this. Obviously we know each other pretty well and I don't want to see him miss any footy.

"If there's anything I can do to help him, I will."
....
Graham's concussion only began to lift on the long drive from Toyota Park to his Blacktown home, and he was still "pretty rattled" on Tuesday.

"I can't remember any of the game aside from bits and pieces of the first half," he said. "To be honest, watching the replay I though I looked pretty fresh when I got up. But then I didn't remember anything until my dad drove me home. I remember that and bits about talking to my mates afterwards.

"I watched the replay and I just thought it was a good shot. To be honest, I don't exactly know what the rule is with a shoulder making contact with the head."
