No doubt he'll return to RL in a few years with all the talent coached out of him as well. It's a shame.

He is a Thug, good riddance.

A thug???

Widdop and Mike Cooper both excellent in todays SGI victory.

Widdop is all class.

Mike Cooper has improved enormously since he has arrived in the NRL. This shows what playing in the NRL can do for a decent English player.

We need to get Kallum Watkins, Zak Hardaker, Darryl Clarke, Tom Lineham, Marc Sneyd, and Tom Briscoe down to the NRL as soon as possible.

The mathematician Ryan Hall is good enough as he is and can remain in England to help prop up Leeds Rhinos and to inspire some of the academy youngsters to follow in his footsteps.

Or we could flip it that a bog standard SL player has gone over and competed well against the super dooper NRL.

The NRL is a bigger and better league, but it's not as big a gap as some make out.

Keep these reports coming, as far as I am concerned. I don't get a chance to see them play on TV so it's good to hear how they are going on.

James graham had a mom game for doggies this weekend. The NRL commentators are in love with him!

he was great and really led the battle up front esp with tolman getting injured after 3 mins, but ennis was man of the match imo, several little bits of magic which decided the game

I kept my eye on Graham at Brookvale the other week as well as this weekend. He is an outstanding player. What he does off the ball is superb. His ball skills are amazing and not what people think of from a prop. having said that, if you talk to old australians, that's what they loved about the "pommie" touring sides of the 50s & 60s, was the big, tough props with skills far superior to their own.

He is one of the people that thankfully debunks the myth that the australian way is so superior in its coaching, conditioning etc. etc. He could have easily played 80. And was livid for being taken off for 5.

James Graham. 75 mins, 36 receives, 22 runs for 172m, 20 hit ups for 150m, 1 run at 1st receiver for 9m, 2 tackle breaks, 39 tackles, 1 missed, 0 ineffective tackles, 1 offload, 1 line break = class.

he was almost playing stand off at times, passes the ball more than any prop around, he's probably got a hidden kicking game too

Sam Tomkins had a brilliant game tonight against Parramatta, scoring 2 magnificent tries and setting up another for captain Simon Mannering after his own 30 metre run and break of the Parramatta defence line.

He took all the bombs kicked at him. But his attack was the best he has displayed in the NRL and equal to his best for Wigan. He was undoubtedly man of the match. Quite an achievement when you consider that Konrad Hurrell was devastating in attack and Shaun Johnson was also brilliant.
