As if the Tigers, if he aint happy not being no 6. Has Buzz heard of a guy called Ben Mitchell or is it Benji Marshall something along those lines.

agree, he is supposedly not happy about potentially not playing 6 so he's looking at the tigers, Sheens has previously stated he wont move Benji to 7 again so what a crap article.

Moltzen wants to sit out next season if he isn't at the tigers . The NRL will fold and let the baby have his bottle.

Buzz is seriously a joke of a reporter and all the crap he puts on Twitter is laughable. I know he is a Sharks supporter but I have no respect for him as a reporter

How can someone that writes so much dribble against the sharks be called a supporter. I call him someone that uses that to get his scoops. And he can't even get that right!

I think the term "Gossip Columnist" is a more apt definition of what Rothfield does.

The bit about Carney eating a footlong at Cronulla Subway was just embarrassing.

Oh well, he's had his day in the sun - as News Limited's stranglehold on Rugby League comes to its overdue end, his days are numbered.

You got that right fitz - whenever I make a point about backward brisbane only having one newspaper - guess who owns it, as well as owning the broncos...

LOL - you edited out what I quoted.

Wade's got to be disappointed, he's a young 5/8 not a backrower.

Right now he is. But he is a growing 21 year old. 2-3 years time, he will be Luke Lewis like. Started on the wing, will finish his career as a second rower. Graham will start in the halves and finish in the pack.

However, I dont see how all this can be said yet. Carney hasnt practice with the Sharks yet. They dont know who will be playing where yet. Whether it be Carney and Kelly and Graham at lock. or Graham and Carney and Kelly plays NSW Cup. They dont know that. So no reporter would have any idea.

Stop reading the papers, they make stories to sell papers.

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

i always thought he would be better served in the back row. his running game is damaging. he could probably work on his defense. and while he's thrown some mean passes, i don't think he has the kicking skills or creative chops to be in the halves.

He was developing a good clearing kicking game at the back end of the year. At the start and mid year his kicks were really bad.

With friends like him who needs enemies ?

As I have I said previously I think we should use him just like the roosters use anasta. Give him the 11 jersey and let him go wild on the left edge.
