Yeah he is totally our best choice, and definately has a load of potential, my point was that I am not so sure about him having a great passing game (or deft kicking game).
I have a feeling he will be better in the 6 than 7, I just hope we either use Kelly OR we get a proper number 7. Not Smith!
Yeah I agree actually, he really does look like a 5/8th and not a half. (Also Campo has a better passing game atm I would say)
He also reminds me a bit of Bird. (big call hahaha)

wade's best pass isnt a spiral, its a flat ball onto runners.
toops will be the benifactor of this pass.
as for his kicking, his long kicks are good, and his bombs are pin point, however i have never seen him grubber kick..... except the try he scored against us.
this is where tim smith or kelly need to get the repeat sets

He is a NRL player and young more than we have now so i am happy to have him.Tbh i would love him to turn into a jason smith type player he could play and if he does, once again he would be better than we have now.
I <3 Wade Graham
It's his leadership that really makes a difference. He has a good passing and kicking game - wouldnt say great, but definitely good. He has a good mindset, doesn't seem to get flustered and keeps a level head. He actually impressed me most last night when he gave away a penalty - he managed to chase down Carney (over a short distance), bring him down, and as Carney offloaded/passed Graham went after the other bloke and caught him too. He ended up holding him down too long (the rest of his team would pretty much be offside) and got penalised for it, but it shows his commitment and the fact he goes the extra mile. I was impressed at least.

saw that too jaz, quicker than alot of people give him cred for
He looked real keen to get on the field last night when Lewis went off. It was hard to get a good feel for the kid however I liked some of the things he did. He looks calm and controlled which is what i like to see in a half.
Hope he comes good for us

who cares what number they have on the back, just let the boys play

He is a halve. So is AK. Does it really matter which one is 7 and which one is 6 is modern day. For instance take Soward and Hornby. Soward is the halfback pretty much and hornby is just used as another playmaker out wide pretty much.

I reckon he's not a traditional half back but I reckon he'll excel in that position.
He needs to be involved a lot, he should touch the ball the most times out of anyone in our team next year.

i reckon if kelly at 7 and graham at 6 it gives us a half style similar to the raiders and look how successful they have been

The failure of Benji Marshall moving from 6 to 7 shows there is obviously still a difference.
I would put him at 6 because that is where he said he wants to play and where the current gap is. Keep Smith at 7 for now, unless Kelly or Porter train and trial excellently.
