At the end of the season he captained the 1980 New Zealand rugby league tour of Great Britain and France.
Then he called me when I was touring England with the Kiwis in 1980 and offered me $15,000.
I said if you double it, I’ll agree this minute.
He did … and I realised then I could have made a lot more!, But the joke was on him - what he didn’t realise is that I would have played for nothing.
My first contract at Brisbane Norths, I signed the back of a coaster in the pub and they gave me $500 ... Money never meant much to me".
In a trans-Tasman test at Lang Park on 18 June 1985, while serving as Kiwi captain Graham was deliberately taken out of the game by a high shot from Noel "Crusher" Cleal while playing brilliantly and inspirationally.
