NSW Cup 2026

Graham was what we should see from our full timers - standing out in cup Abe showing they are NRL level. Fact is that when full strength we have Sandton on a lot of dollars to be the 14 and reason why Graham dropped back to cup this week. We are paying him the dollars and Arthur still on another year for cup on big dollar too and I haven’t seen him fire like that yet. Where does Graham fit into a regular nrl rotation here? He will be snapped up elsewhere. We have given him the platform to show his skill!

The clubs position seems to be that the top 30 can carry max 2 full time hookers. 1st being Crossy and the 2nd being Hagan, as of next year/year after. Hence why they offered Graham a 1 year extension.

Personally, that's a huge risk. Hagan isnt guaranteed to be anywhere near as good in FG as Graham already is.

Graham 177cm / 83kgs. The only position he can play is 9.

Arthur is signed still until 2027. I believe he is on a hefty sum from what I’ve seen on here and heard. He’s not even close to Graham in what he’s providing. I have heard he was signed on a hope to lure his father but that didn’t work out. Not to mention there was a link with AOB.
The Hagan thought is way too premature for my liking. He’s played what 2 games in cup? And we are talking FG material already? Cmon! The kid just come off a SG Ball gf.
With Sandon signed for 4 years he is our 14 so where does Graham fit? If I was a player with NRL written all over me, I wouldn’t want to be hoping for 3 injuries before I get a game! Actually in saying that, Sandon wasn’t even played today - I’d be filthy with my decision to sign here also! He’s looking at being in the same position he was at the roosters!
So we have:
Top 30
Crossland - can also play in halves, lock/second row
Smith - firstly a half/5-8 but can play 9
Arthur - only a 9
Development 26
Graham - only a 9 but could play lock
Development 27
Hagan - only a 9 (could play lock???)
Part Time
Davis - can play lock, centre, second row or wing at a pinch (not sure if I’ve seen him in halves)
