If he does come over to Australia, I'm not sure who'd be willing to sign him....all these clubs that are reported to be interested...the silence is deafening over here.

There did seem to be a bit of interest before the 4 nations, but to be honest I don't think that any England player is going to be at the top of any shopping list after those performances.

Regarding the Golden boot, he's light years behind Shillington, Scott, Civoneciva (still) and Weyman and I can't believe he's been nominated to be honest.

Quote: JMT "He shouldn't have been shortlisted ahead of Shillington who, in my opinion, has been the best front rower in the world this year but wasn't shortlisted.'"

Well, that's your opinion I guess. I don't actually expect fans of other clubs to think James Graham is worthy of his nomination but the panel are viewing him from a more objective POV. James Graham was the top metre maker for the third year running this season, which suggests that he is in fact impacting defences. But he is much more than just a barger, which I think is why he has caught the attention of the international panel. He is well worthy of his nomination.

However, Benji Marshall should win it. He has been outstanding in the internationals and if that is how he plays most of the time during the regular season then he should walk it.

I don't doubt Graham is quality but i think if he is to reach the "world class" stage many label him he needs to bugger off to the NRL and follow Burgess and Ellis do it week in week out and then replicate at international level.
Once again he was handled comfortably by the Aussies and Kiwis in this tournament as were the rest of our "World Class" stars.

But why ? A Super League Graham looked a class above the NRL superstars Ellis and Burgess. Infact i'd say Ben Westwood also looked a better player than Sam Burgess.

The Aussies and Kiwis did a job on them and Graham did'nt look a class above imo.
The fact remains that Graham has'nt done it in the NRL nor has he dominated or being a major influence on the international scene as yet and lets face it whilst his stats for a SL season are very good in the last 4 GF's and the last International series he's failed ti live up to the "world class" tag many put on him.
Don't get me wrong i think he's a quality player but like many Brits i think he's over-hyped.
