Wade's got to be disappointed, he's a young 5/8 not a backrower.
There is nothing Wade Graham did this year to suggest he is an automatic selection in the halves - even without Carney.
Fact: Poor fifth tackle options and poor kicking from our halves cost us games this year
Fact: Wade Graham played every game in the halves
Fact: Bad one on one missed tackle out wide were a feature of Wade Graham's game
Fact: The Sharks have a couple of other good young halves
Fact: Wade Graham is one of the best 17 footballers at Cronulla
There are motivating factors for moving Wade to the back row in the long run other than Todd Carney. I personally think he could combine well with Carney and I voted for him in the "who should partner Carney" poll, but that doesn't mean the team won't be better off at some stage with Wade in the back row
