Clearly yet another trolling post from this contributor.
Why would there be '17 Canterbury players out to hurt him properly next season'?
The video evidence was as clear as day. Even the most blinkered Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs supporter knows that Graham is guilty of a despicable act upon a fellow professional.
Quite a clever move by the Bulldogs staff to get Graham to go not out on this one though. In the highly unlikely event he was found innocent (which upon looking at the evidence was virtually nil) its a victory for the Bulldogs. Now they can claim an 'innocent' man has been convicted of this act they can use it to reinforce the 'no one likes us' mentality that the side and their predominantly Lebanese supporter base try and promote.
As an interchange player Graham was ultimately worth sacrificing.
