Former Wallaby Greg Martin has slammed the decision to re-appoint Richard Graham as Queensland Reds coach as an acceptance of mediocrity.

Graham was confirmed as Reds coach for next year’s Super Rugby campaign despite a winning record of just 28 per cent and having been forced to re-apply for the position at the end of the current season.

Martin says there’s no doubt Graham is a nice man, but that doesn’t make him a great coach and the decision has “tested his faith” in the Reds.
