Really? The bloke comes from the bench and plays at least 50 minutes each week because Kasiano is buggered after 10. T-Rex isn't an out and out prop either so you're asking Sam to do more minutes or Tolman to do a bucketload.

Big loss for the doggies. When available, I think he'll come straight back in to the bench spot.

The video doesn't look good although not 100% conclusive. I didn't think Graham had this in his locker but I think he may be guilty on this one IMO.

Serve the ban, get on with it, come back a bigger and better player next year. 12 games for biting seems fair to me as they found him guilty. If you compare it to Gaz Hock who got 4 for gouging Harrison which is equally as thuggish as biting (and it was as clear cut as can be on Sky!), it seems extremely harsh. Now that was a farce. He should have also sat down for 3 months.

It was national poetry day yesterday, so I rlpenned an ode to Mr Grahamrl

Tolman and Graham carry Kasiano already, you really think they'll replace one of those with another passenger?

Are you for real, you won,t last for long on the VT with your pathetic trolling contributions. Bet the moderators are ready to push the button anytime now.

He's back under a different name.

Saints fan here. Disgusting. 12 games is lienient. I'd have banned the ginner tossed for life. No room for that in our game. Hi, I'm James graham, Ryan bailey handed me my ariss weekly so I will pick on the smallest player on the pitch to act hard...slater. But I won't go toe to toe in case slater fills me in, i will take the cowards way out and use my teeth. I hope he rots and ends up like your average Wigan fan, dole scounging, track suit wearing, Jeremy kyle regular

And you say you're a Saints fan? Oh dear. How embarrassing.

He's not, he is just one of few keyboard warriors that have sprung up now the season is almost over. We can't converse with them due to their brain cell shortage.

How's about:-

A ginger haired forward called James
Went down under with ambitious aims
Always a basher
Now he's a gnasher
(except for the next twelve games)

You mean a kangaroo court? Tee hee.

I tend to still believe Graham that he didn't bite him. But then how bad is Slater if he is standing by a lie.

I think Slater next season could be in the hands of the Rugby Gods.

Anyone that honestly believes James Graham is innocent should have a serious word with themselves. Never a more obvious case of biting will you ever see. I'm glad he was banned - shame it wasn't for longer. We don't need to see stuff like that in our game.

Where is there evidence of Graham in the act of biting Slater, go on show us? If a respected professional refutes the damage to Slaters ear being done by a bite yet the NRL big wigs in their (inexpert) opinion just say we don't beleive the expert how does that make anything 'obvious' then?
All that think the evidence is clear cut (which it is far and away not) need to have a serous word with yourselves.

He was found guilty by a Panel of ex-players, they did not ban him because they don't like him or because he is English, they banned him because the photo evidence and probability of his head near Slaters Ear and then Slater getting up with a bleeding Ear calling a bite charge had enough about it to convict him.
