THIS is the hit threatening to derail Wade Graham’s State of Origin debut.

Having been selected in the NSW side to travel to Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday week, Graham’s fate now lies in the hands of the NRL’s match review committee.

The Cronulla backrower will be sweating after landing a bad high shot on Johnathan Thurston during the Sharks’ victory over North Queensland on Monday.

In the 64th minute and with the game on the line, Graham rushed out of the defensive line to pressure Thurston who had the ball.

Round 19

Thurston slipped and Graham’s arm ended up around the Cowboys captain’s face.

The MRC will review the incident and release its findings on Tuesday morning.

Graham has 50 per cent loading from a grade two high tackle last season, meaning a grade one charge or higher will result in a suspension.

Any suspension will rule Graham out of next week’s crucial Origin clash in Brisbane.
