Graham to hang up the boots at season’s end

[jason taylor]

I think you guys look at Graham with tinted eyes (understandably). Fantastic bloke, a great team man who has obvious passion for his club and was once a fantastic back rower. I DO think he has gone two seasons too long though.

All the best for the rest of the season and beyond for him.

I think he definitely went one season too long, but rightly that won’t particularly be remembered when people talk about his legacy.

I’d say he was arguably the most important signing made by the Sharks in the last 15 years. Started the push towards 2016 and foreshadowed the signing coups Flanagan was subsequently able to make once he took charge (Ennis, Lewis ect).

Well what a pack of hypocrites most of you fellas are….go from pouring buckets of shit on Wade in other threads to licking his nuts in this one. Think I might be one of those hypocrites by the wayWe’ll done Wadeo… look forward to giving him a fitting send-off at Shark Park against the Raiders in a few weeks or even better in a home semi a week later.

Some have given him a lot of shyte for the last two seasons on here. There has been many brown coloured tints on.
Personally I haven't, but ever since he copped all those head knocks I have silently wished him to look after himself.
I was stoked with how he played last week. Now he's announced his retirement I suspect he will be mentally free to play at a level he would like to go out on.

His last good season was 2018 if we are being honest. He was never the same after the injury in the QF vs the chooks. I still reckon we win that game if he doesn't go down. It sucks but he was/is so important to us from the day he got here. I bought his signed jersey in an auction last year for just above the minimum bid. I have a young family member who is a diehard fan(13 years old) and he thinks Wade sucks. He has never seen how good he was.

His best two games have been the last 2 weeks.

I have a running joke with a mate that you can't go to Caringbah Woolies and not see him there. Every fkn time.

Never seen Wade there but I’m 2 from 2 seeing Rambo there

 

[carinashark]

Yep - we can’t criticise him any more - nothing but respect for this great warrior!

Well said.

the what ifs on that game
if that doesnt happen. do we win? do we get week 3 and does gal not get hurt? could have made another gf
then...oh boy. flanno then gets the boot right after a gf.wild times

i think he had some nice games in 2019 when he came back.
but since, he's been poor.

he was incredible for a long time.
if you go back and watch the 2016 prelim its only dumb luck that he doesn't have two try's in that first half assault.
dude was a beast.

Good onya Wadeo, I too was hoping he would be dropped from the bench when we were at "full strength" and still struggling. Proved us all wrong last weekend, lets hope it continues and maybe jag a GF spot if the boys can pull one out of their arse.

 

[Quicksilver]

His try last night was a good moment of Rugby League.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Turned back the clock, didn't think he had it in him. Defended well and looked threatening going to the line and throwing those passes.

Great ambassador and NRL 360 beckons.

I reckon we win 2018 if Wade doesn't get injured against the Chooks (from memory as he was attempting to score a try under the sticks) - we had all the momentum and had got the better of Easts in that game.

Wade seems to get Sifa into more space than what Tieg does.

 

[Special K]

If Wade starts over JC vs Manly do we win?

 

[bluefox68]

What about the joy on his face when he scored - that look said a lot - relief, gratitude, exhilaration…
Just a fantastic moment!

Feel like last year that was the opposite opinion?

 

[Frenzy.]

If Wade starts over JC vs Manly do we win?

There is probably an argument that could be made supporting that. That was the game where Left D was totally disconnected.

Would have been amazing if he got a double when that grubber went through but the bounce didn't go the right way.
