A NSW and Australian representative, Graham took over the reins as Sharks skipper with the retirement of Paul Gallen at the end of the 2019 season. Tough, durable and skillful, the last remaining member of the Sharkâs premiership-winning team from 2016, Graham adds another dimension to the Shark's attack and is one of the NRL's most physical defenders. Graham has been at the forefront of CBA negotiations with the NRL as an RLPA Board member, has become a regular media performer on Triple M and the Fox Sports network and loves to sneak in a game of golf when commitments allow.
