Poor trolling attempt!
As one of the world's best forwards, I'm sure he'll be able to do well in the league

I hope so. Those problems have definitely shown whenever I've watched him, in the tougher games he's certainly struggled at times. Agree he's class when he's fully fit and hopefully the Aussies will raise his level that much more. |

I think he will get battered if he doesn't he'll have to alter his running in technique. His technique is pick a spot, get on all fours asap and play the ball. The problem with this type of technique is that the ozzies love coming in late (by SL standards) and he will cop more than his fair share of facial/head shots when he is on his way to the ground. Watch the 4N final for perfect examples.

For those who think he won't be able to make the yards down under, here are some stats from the recent series against the best the Aussies and Kiwis could offer. (The type of players he will be up against week after week). Just click on the 'Leading player graph' tab to see his awesome stats.
In the 1st match made more yards than any Aussie or English forward on the pitch!
Again against NZ he made more yards than any other forward on the pitch!
In the final Gallen and Thaiday where the leading metre makers, but Graham was only 7 metres behind!

Oh, by the way in the 1st match against the Aussies, when he made more yards than any other forward, he did that in just 40mins. He never even played in the 2nd half due to his back injury. Amazing don't you think.  |

Graham is a machine and one of the best props in the world; he'll do just fine in the NRL and they'll love him.
Just hope he gets good advice on skincare - they suffer in the sun don't they, them ginners?

I already hear that their new coach Dessie Hasler is not impressed with that signing. He will be looking at long spells in the reserves.

Im looking forward to seeing him trying to pivot and offload at the line in the NRL, I suspect he'll get more than a few clouts around the clops if he gets too close to the line ala "The King" with Wakey back in the day.

Well done. You've succeeded in displaying your utter ignorance. Graham's work rate is immense. He would walk into any SL team and I have no doubt will acquit himself well in the NRL.

He'll get by on work rate alone. Hopefully, he can add a bit more power to his game. He'll do well.

He'll probably need to change his style a bit - a bit more dynamism running the ball and do less of the stand off work he has done for Sts. I can't see any reason why he won't do well.
