| I reckon Damo has Wet Dreams and the odd nightmare about Saints he's obsessed with knocking them. Poor soul take a Zopiclone.

But in the Leeds team we have world class players like Burrow, McGuire, Senior, Sinfield, Peacock, Hall and Webb to name a few. player punching .'"
Our office went into hysterical laughter when we read this bit.

| In answer to the original question. NO!!!!!
That prize is almost certainly Kevin Sinfield.
It's not that he's a bad player, but over rated definitely and was found out at international level.
And just before the Leeds faithfull (or jump on the bandwagon cos united are rubbish) merchants have a go, there are others in the Leeds team who are far far better than Sinfield.

| In answer to the original question ... NO.
The question has the word 'ever' in it, there must be literally hundreds of other options.

In fairness he (Sinfield) isn't the only one. Though I would say in Sinfield's defence the GB setup isn't the same as the Leeds setup which is geared to help Sinfield exploit all his qualities (having McGuire and Burrow etc).
I'd also say that Graham isn't head and shoulders above Peacock at all. Given their comparative ages though it would make sense for people to think they would prefer Graham in their team due to the fact he could be around for a lengthy time compared to Peacock.
I do wonder if he is going to get burnt out doing as much as he does though (if he has to do it season after season without the support required).
Similar to what people were saying about Sam Burgess at the Bulls.
Personally though I wouldn't swap Peacock for Graham, biased or not I think Peacock is absolutely quality and what he does for Leeds can't be replaced (Saints fans may say exactly the same about Graham which is completely understandable).
Question for people though....do you think Graham has shown the same sort of form for GB / England as he has for Saints? I've read on these boards before people saying he is too light weight a prop for International level. What do people think?

We’ll only ever get to see how good James Graham is if he ever gets to be in a pack that is as good as that we have at Leeds.
Till then he’s just a big fish in a little pond IMO.'"
Damo lad look what you have started now

| I can’t have an opinion on this board without attracting an opposite opinion can I?
What’s happened to lets agree to disagree?

If he’s good enough for St Helens then he’s good enough for International rugby league IMO. But that does not make him as good as people make out he is

| He is just one of many. The Sky Super Duper League hype machine classes most players as 'world class'.
