A Saints Spokesman said: “The medical team have been working hard to get James Graham right for this weekend’s game but he will be unavailable.

“He has damaged his rotator cuff tendon in his left shoulder which is causing more instability in the joint. This is a direct result of the chicken wing tackle.”

becuase of that wit jones-buchanen. leeds ended cayless's season have they now ended Graham's?

JJB will be remembered as the man who took St Helens down You ought to have a look at Jamies Injury raved career and its mild compared to these two!

So JJB gets one match ban and Jammers misses one match also. Not very fair is it.

He still managed to play on for 70odd minutes. Can you link it to that very incident? Did he do it whilst tackling?

Give me some hard evidence that it was linked to the chicken wing and i'll retract my statement. Undue pressure on his joint could've happend when tackling or being tackled.

hope it's only one game!! I hate to see players out injured!! Even if it's the ones I don't like!! it's all panto really!!

I look forward to seeing him in the play offs

Agreed, get him wound for the GF!!!

it will be a saints v wigan grand final

What a shame

Yes it did, it happened in the bloody chicken wing tackle! The medic has stated clearly that it is as a direct result of that tackle that his shoulder is damaged. Medic talking about medical things = hard evidence.

With nothing to play for I suspect he's getting a rest and the backroom staff saw a propaganda opportunity. Guarantee he'll be back for the playoffs.

I don't think a week off will do the lad any harm. He's been flogged this season. His game time is way over what any of the Leeds props have had to do.
