Graham plans to keep on going

-

WADE Graham has outlined his plan to continue leading Cronulla next year – a goal that could elevate his name alongside the greatest Sharks of all-time.

Ahead of his first match as captain at Pointsbet Stadium in almost three years, against the Warriors on Sunday, off-contract Graham said a sense of being “part of something special” was driving him towards playing on.

“The immediate focus is to get a good block of footy under my belt,” he said.

“I want to stay here, for sure.

“The only way I can show I’ve still got something to offer is by playing footy and getting back out there and doing my job.”

If Graham (218 games) can secure a new deal at the Sharks, the skilful backrower can overtake Mitch Healey (223) and David Peachey (232), and move into third position for most games played for the club behind Cronulla immortals Andrew Ettingshau­sen (328) and Paul Gallen (348). Graham, 31, returned to the field for the first time in 10 months last week against the Broncos.
