Across 14 matches Graham has established himself as a high-volume defensive presence, averaging over seven tackles per game with single-match peaks of 17 — figures that point to a flanker who is heavily relied upon to win collisions. He contributes steadily with ball in hand too, and his capacity to reach 12 carries and 68 metres in a single outing shows there is genuine attacking upside behind the consistency. His minute tally across both Champions Cup and Premiership suggests he is a regular feature rather than a rotation option.
