If you don't play like that you play nsw cup! He's obviously out to impress and giving it everything in attack and defence.

I know it's a bit off topic but I have a sneaky feeling Graham will be the first UK player to do a tronc/Eastwood/orford! Just don't think he will hack it down here after living his life in that $hit hole bubble!

If he lives in Canterbury the only change he'll have is the weather. |

Graham is looking a bit off the pace this season at Saints. Playing with injuries (as I imagine he does most weeks) must take a toll and perhaps it's caught up with him.
Of course he may just be winging it ready to hit the ground running at the Doggies next season.

Brian Carney say on luke
I was probably as sceptical as anybody about Luke Burgess success in the NRL. He was struggling in the Leeds side and I don't think anyone had him in the top ten props in Super League and that is being kind. I had question marks about his decision to go down under and I thought it was by in large driven by the fact that his brother Sam was at Sydney. However once he had signed it was up to him to produce the goods. If anyone saw South Sydney's superb win against reigning champions St George Illawarra, well Luke Burgess was one of the stand out players. He was immense in that game and he has been pretty good in all the games so far and I tip my hat to him. Good on him.

I imagine that for now he's been made to feel at home and valued within the club.
Some players (perhaps all players) need that and Burgess always had the air of someone constantly needing to prove himself at Headingley when in reality he has been worthy of his place since Scruton upped and left for pastures new.

The souths parra game just finished! Burgess was very good again made a 30 meter brake down the right touch line drew the fullback and put the souths fullback (Merritt) in for his 4th try.

| It was actually Merritt's 5th try
Thought Luke was very good today 2nd most carries in the team and 2nd most metres in the team (fullback was 1st and scored 5 tries), the Australian style of play seems to suit his play and was funny when he put Hayne on his  and he didn't like it too much |

Think I read about chris feather getting a 4 year visa this week and hanging about with sam burgess, surely that lump is not going to get a game in the Nrl ? Who next Ian Kirke.

If that's truly how he feels, then he's a big soft lad who needs to grow up.
He'd dropped into the comfort zone at Leeds IMO. As Brian Carney says, he wouldn't have been in anyone's list of the top ten props in the competition before his move. That he's thriving with Souths says more about the supposed "gulf" in standards between SL and the NRL than anything else.
IMO, I'm not sure the Bulldogs know what they're getting with Graham. He'll work his socks off for you every week, but he's not going to run around smashing people in defence or making massive line breaks. One of the most overrated players in SL based on this season's performances. |
