"Its Great Britain in the all-white strip with the red and blue V, the dark shorts and the dark stockings" Ray French (Legend): |
|
| I'm intregued at some peoples views on this subject, this is not me forcing an opinion i'm just interested where other are getting their opions from...
Not hacking it week in week out in the NRL? Why? He has one of the best records for remaining injury free and turning out week after week, what makes you think the he'll be any different down under? He the best prop (maybe player) in the Saints squad, a squad containing Josh Perry.
On what basis do people think he'll get home sick, has he showed this trait before?
Why does showing passion translate to 'spitting his dummy out'? And do big Tongans and Samoans have swords in the NRL because i saw a Big Kiwi in a pink shirt take the full force of Graham's dummy good friday.
Now this is my opinion...
He'll quickly become a highly reguarded export, his home fans will love him, the opposition fans will dispise him, he'll wind people up, he'll get targeted- but like he has always done he'll get back up. He'll develop massively, he'll be captain of England within 24 months.

They were/are better players.
And appear not to spit the dummy as much as he does.

Look.
Clearly Graham makes you do a sex wee in your pants. Whether its his milk bottle white legs or ginger hair that does it for you I'm not sure.
But the bottom line is he is a dummy spitting whinger with an attitude problem who will end up upsetting the wrong person in the NRL and getting put on his backside.

| Quote: McClennan "You forgot to state that there is just as much chance as that not happening. Considering the economic situation the attendances on Good Friday were pretty amazing too. As for sacrificing youth development I doubt that will happen because it's a cost effective way of obtaining playing personnel. Only bad management will lead to that and there is as much reason to not believe your assumption that teams will follow your suggestion as there is to believe it.'"
I don't see it as a 50/50 split. Not at all. And youth development has been sacrificed before. It might be cost effective in the long run, but club chairman are notoriously fickle when it comes to anything other than the here and now.

You fail to back any of your assertions up with evidence.
His performances in the past 2 seasons clearly illustrate he is a quality player who will do well in the NRL. I wonder if you actually watch the NRL as you seem to have a rather odd opinion of Graham's likely performances in the competition. You also have to remember he will be a member of a tough Bulldogs pack which will offer him decent support.

I'm amazed an NRL club signed him. He will end up upsetting the wrong person (who will probably be a big Tongan or Samoan) when he has a tantrum. And aside from his dummy spits at the end of the day he is not really as good as people think.
I don't blame him for giving it a go in the NRL though. One thing is certain.
He will learn a lot.
clueless

| anyone that doubts grahams quality as a top class prop is a bit of an idiot.
Barry is certainly one of them.
if he doesnt fry over there, like a hamster in a microwave.... he will be one of the best props in the NRL.

So you think he might get away with spitting his dummy because when some big Tongan threatens to remove his head the Bulldogs pack will step in?
