He gets stick for "spitting his dummy out" but honestly I think he is very controlled. Most super league forwards after getting an elbow in the chops would start swinging (quite rightly, eg. Radford) but more often than not he chooses not to throw punches.

I think that the frustration that he shows should be taken note of by the rfl. Ther are a significant minority of teams that try to control team's star players by targetting them with cheap shots and high tackles and it spoils games. Im all for a bit of biff but but these high shots and swinging arms aren't what most fans go to watch.

Before you start your response with "typical saints fan...", it is not just Graham that is targetted like this. IIRC Nathan Brown has made similar comments about his backs being targetted by cheap shots. The rfl need to do more to remove it and what better place to start.... Ryan Bailey.

It would appear that going to the NRL is a mark that 'you've made it'. I don't agree myself but I'm probably reasonably alone in that.

He has an agent there now and is thinking seriously about the possibility. However, he has stated that at present he is 50:50.

Unless hes lying to those close to him, he is defo going.

Plus, who says hes going to win any trophies at Saints if he stays here? Superleague isnt like it was from 10 years ago upuntil last year with Saints always been the club challenging with A.Nother club. Wigan are now up there, as are Leeds and Warrington are on the verge of something big as the back to back CC wins show.

Spot on. With his Celtic colouring (and temperament) it could be a disaster for him. He is a great player. If he stays with Saints he will become a second KC.

He has already won every honour available to him in SL. Challenge Cup: Check, Grand Final: Check, League Leaders: Check, Man of Steel: Check, World Club Challenge: Check. Why not go and test himself against the best in the world and prove himself in the NRL. No one at Saints will think any of less of him if he goes, plus it's less of an assumption, it's more about the noises coming out of the club. He could very well sign for Saints, he hasn't signed a deal yet, but I reckon he might well do when he's over there during the Four Nations. Saints could do what they did with Cunningham and sign him up on another contract just hours before he is due to sign with an Nrl club, but I doubt it.
