Official Wade Graham

[dimi]

Wade Grahams contract will determine if overs $ are here to stay or not,prob not worth $500k,will be interesting if a clu pays it, i think he will get $650k,all clubs will have $450 -500 for him,will be interesting which one will go that bit extra.these 3rd party deals make it hard for the broke arse clubs to compete.

 

[stormshark]

$375 plus Car, plus Captaincy in 15, plus incentives if he can get a few more of his young "Riff" mates to sign on, plus some crayons and paints brush and easel!

 

[slide rule]

500k sounds like a lot to me. There are always a billion decent back rowers.

He hasn't played rep or anything.

But we don't have the salary cap anymore ( thanks Greenberg) so I don't know.

 

[sharkyboy]

If we keep saying no to paying big money for good players we will have heaps of cap space with no one to spend it on.

idc, he is one i could not stand losing.

There are a hundred backrowers, but only a dozen with the heart, passion and skill of Wade.

Pay up, sharks.

Ps why would anyone touch him when he is a prime suspect in the ASADA investigation.

 

[Cesare6t9]

If wade leaves I am done

 

[Opeth]

I could not stand losing Wade. It would be to one of the rich clubs as well.

 

[goodbyepenrithhellosharks]

bias I am, but if the rumours are true and the club said to wade that he is gone if fafita resigns then the gloves are off.
That was a stupid stupid thing to do.....and basically stated that loyalty means sweet **** all.
Now everyones upset that he is asking decent coin......he is a as loyal as they come and more than likely will stay...but it has not been handled well imo and the amount he is asking reflects that.......btw that is just my opinion

 

[Uncle fester]

as much as i love the bloke. 500k is way too much imo

What did the club allegedly say to Graham about Fifita? That we won't be able to afford to re-sign Wade if Fifita stays? That better be just a rumour - it's disgraceful if it's true.

strong rumour....but yes .....just a rumour

Losing fifita has worked in his favour. He will probably get more than he was expecting from us.
At 23 he is better than g bird was at that age. He's a keeper.

 

[samshark]

Graham will stay. I think he is the one guy that we can confidently say that.

No he's not.

 

[dimi]

I think Bird played for nsw & Aust at the same age

 

[CrazyMatt]

If Wade wants that much , then it would have to be a long term 4-5 year deal. None of this signing for 1-2 years then ask for even more crap. You want 500 Wade? Commit long term son.

 

[dylan the villian]

Wade wanted long term at his last Signing

 

[FoRzA aZzUrRi]

Wade deserves 500k easily if bulldogs signed lichaa for 300k and his only played 1 first grade game, graham deserves double atleast

 

[bluey]

400k for 4 years

 

[FoRzA aZzUrRi]

400k for 4 years

woud be great for us

You're correct but my answer to that is Anasta played for nsw at 20 and I have never rated him.
Making rep teams doesn't always indicate who is best. Unfortunately for wade he has had a lot to do with over the past 12 months and that has been part of his flat form but I think he is still better
