Official Wade Graham

Jez can probably pull 80 when we are desperate, fifita can pull 60 quality, he could pull 80 but not a good 80. I think we will again be set for the backrow for a few more years

I was watching jez closely against the storm and after about 30mins he was close to passing out!

People that live in ipswich

Sunny day, Versing best team in the comp and he had extra responsibility, not fair to judge IMO

 

[Jigsaw]

Just a question.... If we had to choose between keeping Graham or Keeping JB... who would people go with?

 

[snowman]

Graham

 

[sharks2010]

Graham for sure
But let's hope it's not a choice
Both important part of the future

 

[stevekneen10]

Yeah i'd go with Graham as well.

 

[shire1976]

My mail is the real story is Penrith has discussed bringing Wade back but for the money he is asking, he isn't viewed as their best option. Unlikely to be offered a contract there.

 

[sharks2010]

Question is do we move gal to front row if the selling point is wade wants 80 minutes
Maybe gal would do it to keep him

 

[stevekneen10]

An embarrassment of riches in the pack...love it!

Yes. Without a doubt.

 

[Born&bred]

tef - you haven't joined the avalanche of avatar changes - show us something new.

 

[scott17]

yeah righto it's a joke, who doesn't pay out penrith?

i was mucking around haha... the 'riff has its moments, the only time i used to go there was for aquagolf and when my iphone ****ed up id take it to the apple shop there.. thats about it for the old riff - not the biggest fan though

okay if he can play the full game against parramatta on a freezing winters night we'll classify him as an 80 minute player

haha

 

[sharkyboy]

When gal is playing he will never play 80?

 

[sharks2010]

I really don't see the issue with gal going to prob and Ross to the bench
If it means we keep graham then it should be done

 

[WillyInBris]

We have enough players off contract to keep him I guess but I doubt Flano will pay overs for him and we don't need to get into that kind of a **** fight either that Penrith are in with back ended contracts he is a priority as most of you say but he also is replaceable if need be it would be a shame though I do like the guy and would prefer him to stay.

We need backs so changes are going to happen.

 

[A.Snowden]

I would get rid of Taga, taufua together just to keep graham.

 

[Blair]

As much as I rate Wade as a great talent, I wouldn't want to sacrifice our good depth to keep him.

 

[DeathMoth]

As much as I rate Wade as a great talent, I wouldn't want to sacrifice our good depth to keep him.

so you wouldn't sacrifice players who are behind him in the pecking order? you'd keep lesser players and allow him to go somewhere else? that's weird.

Wade is a talent and still so young, he's the kind of guy you'd want here long term. He's probably got the right build to become an excellent and tough second rower or lock, in the vein of Gallen. and in a few years when Gal's time is up, we're going to need a competitor like Graham to take his place. i say keep Graham even if it means putting him on a solid salary; i'd lean towards a modest but incrementally increasing salary with incentives, but at least 4 years. lock him down, let him get on with his footy and say if he wants the extra moola to ****in earn it
