Rugby league great James Graham has blasted Peter FitzSimons after the columnist called for Roosters star James Tedesco to retire after suffering yet another concussion.

Graham and former Wallaby FitzSimons have been feuding for years, with the pair first clashing in 2019 when the Sydney Morning Herald writer questioned the retired prop stating he was willing to 'accept' the risk of head knocks as part and parcel of professional rugby league.

In 2022, Graham then accused FitzSimons of ambushing him and putting him on show at a concussion seminar.

So when FitzSimons recently wrote it was time for Roosters captain Tedesco to hang up his boots after he was knocked out against the Bulldogs, Graham didn't mince his words.

'This type of behaviour [from FitzSimons] is using our game and the very serious issue of concussion to stay alive,' Graham fumed on his The Bye Round podcast.
