Talented, yes.

Poor kicking game, yes.

Good defender, no. Graham is responsible for more opposition line breaks this year than Best and Pomeroy combined - and those two have both been pretty bad.

Glad someone else noticed this.

Graham is a strong tackler. He is a poor positional defender and he rushes out of the line too much and leaves a gap behind him, at times when it just doesn't make sense. I think he's perhaps an over-zealous defender. He just wants to get down and smash someone. Good on him and all that, but it's a team sport and he lets the team down when he does it.

Just had a chat to him walking to the ground. Looking at his size he will end up in the backrow.

spot on

mate, what ever drugs your on, can I buy some

judging from your avatar I suggest you may not be objective on this particular one. If you are in doubt go to NRL.com highlights and watch Parra's first and last tries. Maybe check out the line breaks v Canberra and Melbourne too.

I'm not questioning his tackling ability, his effort or his commitment, but he has been very poor positionally in defense.

Come on Graham, we need to show an improved kicking game out of you in this 2nd half, otherwise i'm afraid (or delighted) that your spot will be taken by Townsend.

I think with the debut of Chad, Wade had to take on more kicking responsibilities. Hopefully it never happens again. He's not a halfback, he's not a 5/8.

Tough kid. Got dazed early when we were defending our line. Staggered back in line and came up with a nice shot on thaiday. Great one on one defender. Not our answer as our main half though.

ive seen 100 to 1 horses kik better than graham

I just wonder does Flanno make them watch replays ???

Maybe they should be made to listen to Goulds commentary on the replay - the whole team would learn a bit
