good reply. It was a hissy fit moment from the bog eyed one. Very hard man that mcguire.

There are times when Graham looks awesome. My one reservation about him is that these aren't always the games in which it's most needed.

You should have used a bigger worm? We caught you crawling out from under your bridge before you posted?

Anyway, the real question here should be is Willie Manu human? I've never ever seen him dominated in a collision. 10 more tackle busts than anyone else already this year. Ridiculous strength and balance.

Between him and Lauaki
Lauaki is unbelievably strong and has the best hands ive seen in a forward since Lauititi early in his Leeds career.

I honestly can't remember the last bad game James Graham had. He is an 8 or 9 out of 10 every week.

Willie Manu is a league above Lauaki, imo.

He's in a very similar mould to Ben Hannant for me, who is also an excellent player of the game. As far as best English prop/second row goes, look no furthur then Sam the man!

Graham's better than Burgess

Graham is a different type of player to Burgess.

Graham is consistently brilliant. He tackles everything, will make more metres than anybody else and has good hands. He's an old school type prop similar to Darren Britt or Kevin Ward. Burgess is more an impact type player who can play anywhere, similar to Sonny Bill Williams. He goes looking for the big hit, he runs in hard, loves offloading the ball, is absolutely massive but is also quick for a big man.

Both of them are brilliant talents and if we had a few more like them, we'd give the Aussies a run for their money more often.

James Graham is a fantastic rugby league player, who plays consistently well every week. He is the best prop-forward that England have got, but to say he is the best in the world is a bold statement.

The last English prop-forward that was talked about as the best in the world was Stuart Fielden and look what Willie Mason did to him on that particular tour.
