⏪ Campbell Graham: 2026 Year in Review
Campbell Graham enjoyed another strong season for South Sydney in 2026, finishing among the Club’s leading try scorers while celebrating several significant milestones along the way. Across 19 NRL appearances, Graham scored 14 tries and ran for 2,881 metres, while also reaching his 150th NRL game and earning recognition for his work in the community by winning the 2026 Ken Stephen Medal.
He opened the year with a double against the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium in round one, running for 161 metres, before adding another two tries in South Sydney’s 48-6 victory over the Melbourne Storm in round eight.
Two weeks later, Graham celebrated his 150th NRL appearance, all in the Red and Green, with a try against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in round 10. His versatility was also on show during that stretch, spending three games in the centres and producing a 200-metre performance against the Dolphins in round 11 before returning to the wing.
The tries continued through the second half of the season. Graham crossed twice against the Storm in round 21 before another strong performance against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in round 24, scoring a try and running for 227 metres. He then finished the regular season in style with a double in South Sydney’s 50-20 victory over the Sydney Roosters at Allianz Stadium in round 27.
Graham’s impact went well beyond his finishing. He averaged 151 running metres per game across the season, while recording 16 line breaks and 74 tackle breaks to remain a constant threat with the ball in hand.
His strong form carried into the Finals, crossing again in the Elimination Final against the Newcastle Knights at Allianz Stadium. It was Graham’s 161st appearance for the Club and took his career tally to 78 tries, all for South Sydney.
Graham’s contribution away from the field was also recognised with two significant honours. At the Red and Green Ball, he received the 2026 Souths Cares Award for his school engagement visits, healthy relationships and wellbeing workshops, and volunteering with the St Vincent de Paul Society.
He was then awarded the Ken Stephen Medal at the 2026 Dally M Awards, recognising his outstanding contribution to the community. It capped a memorable season for Graham, combining another prolific year in the Red and Green with major milestones and recognition for the impact he continues to make away from the field.
