Official Wade Graham

[Shortfin Mako]

Wade was visibly filthy cussing on the walk back to half way after we conceded that intercept try and didn't keep those turds to zip

Was very inclusive of Braydon to let both teams score some points (even if he said the F word about 5 times on the way to DCE getting the ball down)

Love that. Maybe it will give them the motivation to keep the dogs to zero.

They showed a shot of DCE from front on... there was plenty of Sharks behind looking like he just scored the winning try.

Good signs.

Is there any other captain as hopeless as Wade at the captains challenge? Would love to know his success rate

Graham = 100% Captain challenge

He would only be going off what his players are telling him.

Iro / Teig should have known better.

He still has the final say as captain though

He should do what my wife does and automatically say no unless there is a lot of begging and grovelling to overturn her decision.

So you get her to overturn her decision???

I’m impressed

Ha. No. Unfortunately there is only a 10 second timeframe to overturn.

Bit like Captains Challenge?

10 seconds is up. Too late!

 

[Gal The Goat]

Ok so this was from the 23rd of July.

Can work out how many more games since then, but from memory I think we had won none since this

 

[Gumby]

Did he play tonight? Didn’t notice him at all.

 

[Sir Chadley]

We should just forget we have captain’s challenges.

not enough reason to take the captaincy off someone. It was later in the game, we weren't going to lose the game, we took a punt on the CC and got a breather. Fans make too big a deal out of it. Look at that table above. Most teams/captains get it wrong more often than not

I wise man once told me
don't ask for permission

ask for forgiveness

yea he played, was pretty good actually with the exception of a dropped ball from a simple pass

We should just forget we have captain’s challenges.

what would you prefer? Winning games or winning the CC roulette? honestly it's not like it's costing us games on the regular and we do get some right

Wade isn't just going to throw it away intentionally unless the game is wrapped up or we need a breather - I am sure he puts some thought into it but often it's a 50/50 thing, same for the refs who are dedicated to watching the play - they get it wrong too

It's embarrassing mate, bloke supposedly has a good footy brain.

 

[Sir Chadley]

@Gards , I would just prefer not to have the Captain’s challenge at all.

Didn’t say anything about taking the captaincy off him, although I’d like to think Dale would make better decisions on when to challenge. Wade wastes a lot very early on in the game or on stupid ones.

Also the above table you’re referring to is team captain challenges rather than Graham directly. Only 7 from this year of which we’ve won 3. Id guess a few of them were earlier in the season when Wade wasn’t playing. He has missed a lot of footy since captains challenge was introduced but I reckon he would be lucky to have a 20% success rate

 

[Gards]

@Gards , I would just prefer not to have the Captain’s challenge at all.

that's not what we are talking about though and that's not Wade's call obviously

Having said that, the way I want the CC used in the NRL is different to the way they have implemented it

Think there was 20 to go, hardly late in the game
