Right. Hopefully it'll be his rugby that makes the headlines this year rather than his diet.

If James Graham were still in SL the sport wouldn't be having to lavish gifts on a 36 year old - making itself look worn out in the process.

Thankfully, that was a one off which can be placed squarely on the shoulders of a player who momentarily lost his temper and lost the plot. I'm of the opinion that Sam Burgess is far more of a grub and appears to have a liking for squirrel grips and other grubby exchanges. He's already halfway there in his Union education.


Quite.

In fact, the more I think about the NRL Grand Final this weekend, the more I side with Canterbury. I'd prefer Souths fans to wait considerably longer for their first taste of champion success since 1971. Their fans would give Leeds a run for their money in the arrogance stakes.

Canterbury all the way for me, Graham's been a phenomenon.

I think south sydney will do it though

During my brief residnence in Sydney some 20+ years ago I became an honorary Bunnies fan. Simpley because the SFS was easy to get to, although I did manage to visit Balmain, Newcastle and Manly. We went to Balmain just to watch Paul Dixon and Wally Lewis play for the visitors (can't remember the team name - it was that second team in Queensland they started around 1990). I can't remember if Lewis played, I was a bit poorly from the night before and it cacked down with rain.

Based entirely on that, Bunnies for me. Couldn't care less about Sam Burgess, he'll soon be embarrasing an England RU shirt much like Joel Tomkins did under the keen tactical guidence of England backs coach Andy Farrell. I think having an ex-league prop recruiting league props to fill Englands back division is either deeply sad or deeply comical. Perhaps JP should think about extending his career by a switch to inside centre for Wasps.

Gold Coast (insert whatever their nick was here)... Tweed Heads, Chargers, Seagulls or Gladiators.

The coach when Dixon was there was also an ex-Leeds coach, as was one of the other squad members that year.

I suspect they probably collected the wooden spoon too but I'd have to check in order to confirm that.

Can't see south sydney being as impotent in attack as penrith were given the same posession, talk about over using the inside ball.

Wigan and Souths hopefully.

Would love to see Wane v Maguire in the WCC.

That could be very tasty.

Agreed that would be a game I would like to see Rogues.
Pleanty of cannonball tackles and high shots with flair and skill in abundance.

Aren't Souths in the new WCC anyway along with Brisbane?
I really hope Souths don't win it personally.

Wrestlemania!

bring it on,i would love to see that horrible little grub micky mac try his 5h1thouse tactics on isaac luke and see what would come back his way with interest
