Across 20 appearances predominantly from the bench, Graham has built a reliable profile as a hard-working forward who contributes steadily in both phases. His tackle numbers stand out — averaging just under six per game with a single-match peak of 17 — pointing to a player who arrives on the field and immediately engages defensively. With the ball in hand he offers consistent metres-after-contact, and his best carrying performances suggest he can shoulder a genuine workload when called upon.
