just to be devils advocate, who says he's overworked? certanly not the man himself. He didnt look tired in the internationals, maybe he is just a freak who can take it?

from sombody who doesn't watch him week in week out I wouldn't have a valid opinion but I've read and heard from more than a few of your fans who hold that opinion

whos petrol?

Diesels brother.

Civoniceva isn't it?

To be fair, his abilty to play more minutes must be a massive boost for a coach. Graham was playing the entire first half and longer in the NZ game and the final. This ability not only allows you to spell your more impact based forwards more comfortably, but if you've got a player like that it gives you extra options on your bench, y'know to help cover you if one of the backs gets injured............oh

The Saints fans bemoaned the long minutes Graham was playing for club out of necessity, but Smith had the option to spell him with other equally able props, but still let him play longer minutes than the rest.

Therefore, Graham's unequalled appetite for work is a quality in itself and should be considered as a strength in any argument about how good he is compared to other front rowers, instead of people saying "he only make mores yards because he's on the pitch longer".

I would say he could become number 1 in the world in the coming years.
But I would say the same for Burgess.

Graham is more consistent, Burgess on his day is a fantastic player.

Burgess should stay in the 2nd row and LF position. He'd be wasted at prop.
