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.

As the majority of us have stated on this topic, James Graham has to move to the NRL and prove himself in that competition before he can even be considered as the best prop-forward in the world.

Or perhaps wait until the 2013 world cup and outplay all the international props in the competition, oh wait a minute didn,t he do that in the last world cup, picked by an independant panel.
Perhaps opposition fans are using the "prove yourself in the NRL card" to get him out of superleague so is no longer a threat to opposition teams over here.

I haven't seen that, can you provide a link?

My personal reasons for wanting him to go to the NRL are to reach his full potential, then return here in his prime. In the same way I would like to see Ellis and Burgess come back home at their peak.

I am not remotely interested in Superleague who are a bunch of selfish self servers and rarely genuinely think of the good of the game. I want a strong international side that can challenge the others.

Can,t provide a link perhaps other posters can concur with the fact.

I can see Graham going to Oz in another 2 or 3 seasons time, I,m sure some of the aussie clubs will see his go forward attribute as an asset to there team.

Don't think he'll be going anywhere,he loves being at Saints and he's very close to his family.
