1 match and 1 match for Graham for trying to con the official into doing something about it there and then. Didnt Eduardo get 2 matches for deceiving the referee?

Graham might have been hurt but the way he was rolling round for a few seconds trying to get something done and then just jumped up and spat his dummy when he realised Bentham wanted to continue the game was a disgrace.

If he was really hurt then I have full sympathy but to just jump up and throw a perfect defence splitting pass with his 'hurt' arm is a miracle of a recovery!

Come on are you for real?

At the end when he got a crack he got straight up as much has i dont like the bloke he did not milk it take your yellow and blue specks off mate

For the record i've said it will be leeds v hull kr gf

He will get a one game ban no more

Why change the subject. Graham milked the situation and came up empty.

I expect Jones-Buchanan to have a rest next week. Give Kirke some game time.

Milked the situation? Why be like that? His arm was almost removed from his shoulder, you could see on his face how much it hurt. It also affected him all game.

Why is it so hard to just accept that a couple of your players were out of order instead of trying to blame the Saints players for it?

Jones-Buchanan was trying to turtle Graham to slow the play the ball down, fairly standard stuff. It was a bad tackle (I've suggested he'll cop a ban for it) but I query the extent of Graham's injury and he appeared well enough once he realised he wasn't going to get anything from Bentham.

His beautifully timed and weighted pass to Gilmour shortly afterwards didn't appear to suggest 'his arm was almost removed from his shoulder' either.

No but if you watch it back, look how many times he was holding it and back from play a bit. He was struggling big time and has gone for scans on it today. It hurt.

Unlike Sinfield after being butted in the face, presumably

I don't doubt that for a second.

rlThis is what Jones-Buchanan can expectrl (and St Helens fans will recognise the accused fairly well.)

oh well sinfield is a consumate pro ,you can bet after sinny's scan if it proves a break he will be out much longer than young Mr Graham

IMHO the initial "position" is purely accidental and if you watch the replay JJB clearly released the hold as he realises whats happening.

The real culprit is Graham who fakes injury and is a total BAD LOSER.

Didnt a Saints player also get reported for a similar offence earlier this year and IIRC only got a written warning.

If that's a serious statement try reading the thread.
