Official Wade Graham

[Gards]

Wade put a shot like that on a Broncos player up at Suncorp about 12 years ago and even back then they penalised him for it after the video ref watched it on replay - can't remember what punishment if any he copped for it but part of his shoulder had contracted the ball carriers head

I was surprised play went on (advantage? cause Rabbits scored a few rucks later) - not because it wasn't a good shot but cause usually when a bloke gets ironed out there is a bit of an assumption it was an illegal tackle and the player needs to get checked on and let's be honest, most of the time they do find some sort of contact with the head

Wasn't obvious to on field ref though as play wasn't stopped. I actually wanted Wade to come on the field, we needed some seniority and experience

Can't say he didn't try to fire us up or shift the momentum in his short stint

Think that tackle was on Josh Hoffman.

Should have been tackle of the year!

cant of been to bad, not one souths player objected

 

[Jaz]

Need Wade to start aiming his shoulder at the ball. He offers nothing in attack but could be a great hitman IF he can avoid the penalties/suspensions.

Kaifusi was incredible for the Dolphins yesterday.

 

[Greg86]

They talking about banning the car crash style tackle, what exactly is that?

Is it just a hard tackle with whip lash effect?

Kaufusi pulled off a wicked shot yesterday on Cheese, he was obviously whipped backwards with two bodies hitting at force.

Is it just leaving the ground to set up you **** on someone that determines a car crash tackle?

He made head contact, not sure how anyone is surprised he'll be doing time.

Would you give him 3-4 weeks?

3-4 seconds at best

Him getting suspended might be a blessing in disguise for us.

Huge opportunity for Hazleton to make himself undroppable

Gonna be awkward for me with this being your last post...

fighting the charge, club obviously thinks he gets less than 3

It would be his only realistic chance of getting to 300 NRL games (is a chance), otherwise if he is suspended the 300 is probably unlikely.

It could also impact future game selections as Fitz might have the 300 in the back of his mind when selecting Wade, but if he definitely cannot get there then a 50/50 selection decision involving Wade might go against him.

Wade could still get there of course but only if the old Wade shows up this season.
He might even then get offered another 1 year extension (I wouldn’t mind this scenario as the old Wade would be very very beneficial for us - a win/win)

Maybe we're getting a bit fed up getting pinged for stuff others aren't & risking Wade for a mth to show we might fight a few more charges seems worth it.

Better late than never

What risk?

 

[Flanno]

Yep no risk involved, we don’t miss anything with Wade out
