Graham suffered a broken leg in his side's last-start loss to Cronulla and is facing the longest stint on the sideline due to injury in more than 450 top-flight games.

"He's a maniac that guy," Latimore said.

"One of the boys said the other day that this is the first time he'll miss more than three games since he's been playing top grade rugby league.

"It goes right back to St Helens in 2003 so it's obviously going to be tough for Jammer but it gives him a chance to freshen up and have a watch from the sideline.

"There's a lot of footy to be played while he's out but if we can string some wins together through this period, he comes back with enthusiasm and energy and we can hopefully look back at it as a good thing."
