Well we all knew it was coming but does not soften the impact especially after that awesome performance at Wigan.

Good luck to the lad, lets hope the McMannus has a few irons in the fire. Probably will not be a like for like replacement, but so long as they can opperate at half jammers capacity we will continue to be a force.

I still hold out hope for TP resigning.

Nice to see the support

Justin Poore from Parra looks a good option.

Your thoughts.

How are you going to replace that guy, he is one hell of a player....

Wonder if his hairdresser knows she won't need to do his highlights for 3 years.

Good luck to him, has been an excellent servant to the club and I ope we do all we can to get him back at the end of his 3 years

It sounds as though he was determined to go and try his hand in the NRL, so there's little you could do to stop his departure. What intrigues me is how you'll replace him or, probably won't. With the ever increasing NRL salary cap, plus the strong dollar to pound exchange rate tempting the very best NRL players to SL is getting increasingly difficult. Particularly when they'll also have to give up their representative career and SOO football to come over here.

As for Graham it will make him a better player IMO. Playing in competitive games week in week out won't do anything other than. I know Sam Tomkins only just signed a new 5 year deal last year, but come the end of that when he will be truly in his prime. I'd fully support him if it was his wish to play in the NRL. By then he'll have given Wigan many good years of service, just like Graham has for you guy's.

I'm surprised he doesn't want to be there for Saints' opening season at the new venue.

Only 26 in September, I honestly thought Graham would have postponed it for another year.

Let's hope his best mate Roby doesn't follow him eh ?

He will be a great ambassador for SL. I hope he tears the Aussies to shreads.

Shame to see him go but it was always going to happen. Hopefully we can look forward to having an announcement of a replacement soon.

great player,I know I have given him stick in the past,but every one know's that sort of thing is veiled praise ,admiration,respect even,only great player's get that treatment.
You saints fans will be gutted,but wish him all the best.I hope your loss will be GB/ENGLANDS gain.
all the best Jammer from an admiring Loiner

Let's hope he can inspire everybody around him to go out on a high this year. Go BRM!

I think he will have more of an impact there than he has in SL. He is made for the NRL. Great engine and everything he does is top notch, just gets his head down makes the hard yards mean defence and I think he will get spelled a bit more, which will only be good for his game.

So sorry to see him go.
They are going have to spray tan him in factor 1000 before each game.

I hope he hates it over there and becomes incredibly homesick for the saints. You never know................

Graham will do it in the right mannor though and if its possible put more effort in than he already has been doing. Like Royce said he wishes he could pick St Helens up and put them in the NRL but unfortunately he cant, good luck to him.
