just dont try to tell him hes wrong when youve got a whistle in your hand, cos then the orange hulk explodes lol! 
in all honesty, i hope he stays with saints, as he was given his chance by the club and wouldnt be a thing without them, and as mentioned before, its scarily like to rooney situation. only jammer has been nothing but respectful to your club, and i applaud him for that. |

As far as I am concerned yes you are.
You say you enjoy both codes yet you always put RL down,this for me confirms it. |

| Quote: Blobbynator "You could liken us to Man Utd right now and Graham is our version of Wayne Rooney. Graham is our best player and has experienced success at the club similar to Rooney at United, but all of a sudden we're going through a slight transitional stage with a younger squad and we've lost some of our key players (Cunningham, Sculthorpe and Long) just like United have (Tevez and Ronaldo). There's plenty of talent in our young squad similar to United, but will we go to the next level and match Graham's ambitions of being the absolute best, just like Rooney has asked for at United? We've curbed our spending slightly just like United due to their debts and our new stadium, but will we be competitive in future? Now I hope, like Rooney, that Graham signs a long term deal at Saints and feels like this is home.
For me, Graham is really difficult to replace. Not only is he a quality player, but he's passionate about this club and that's something that an overseas player or a player from another club cant replicate. He's OUR product and we HAVE to do everything in our power to keep him. Balls to the NRL, I don't care about that, and I don't think Graham going there will suddenly make him a much superior player or improve England's chances against the Aussies and Kiwis. Graham is outstanding whether he's here or in the NRL and he could become a legend at this club should he sign a new deal here. I'd be devastated if he left.'"
Terrific post there pal! I couldnt have worded it better myself. |

I'm not understanding this "curb our spending" as Saints are spending the full salary cap (unless this is referring to not actually breaking the cap any more - but I doubt it).
What is meant by this? |

| It's a tough call for graham and i think he's torn between both options.
I'd love him to stay at saints as he is a world class prop but i wouldn't blame him for going in 2012.
He's still only young and has 6 good years left him in to go to oz which may work in our favour, i could see graham signing a 1yr deal and play our 1st season in our new stadium then look at the situation at the end of 2012 season.

I believe that Saints have been operating under the salary cap for the past couple of years. |
