when morley was in his prime he was better than graham now.. but bot now. he does not do enough work

wake up child

I cant be classed as bias because I hate both Warrington and saints. But lets not kid ourselves, even now as a Wigan fan I would take Morley over Graham any day of the week. His experience and longevity needs to be respected, lets see how Graham would fair down under before we build him up. For my money he would get bitch slapped all over.

wel said

I think James Graham is one of the best props in the world at the moment. If he carries that on at the rate he is going he will join Morley and Peacock as one of the greatest british props of the SL Era.
It would be interesting to see if he could provide the same influence on another SL team.
He got the treatment at headingley. If he can carry the Saints front row to a Sl title this year he will deserve every accolade he gets.

He has played a lot of rugby over the last few years and he could end up playing in the four nations.

James Graham is one of the best prop forwards in the game. However his bad sportsmanship and his attitude after last nights game, let him down. Shame though as he is one heck of a player.

Graham is outstanding. Morley is still a great player, but it's easier for him as he can have a spell on the bench when he requires it as Warrington have other props.

At times this season Graham has been totally on his own out there and has smashed the record for metres made to pieces. That is what your props are there to do and he does it fantastically well, his 2 or 3 drives per set remove so much workload from the other players, without Graham Saints would be mid table or worse, like Warrington are.

Hilarious thread, and i'm sure i'll get told i'm biting but who cares.

Would Morley have made the same impact if he was the only prop on the field for 70 minutes like Jammer is? He has the luxury or going off, as he did in the final at Wembley where he played maybe half. He has the luxury of Carvell at his side, who has been very good this year.

The stats don't lie and Graham's are sensational.

I find it amusing that you wouldn't want Graham because he refused to shake hands, which is understandable considering they were trying to deliberately dislocate his shoulder and rip his head off.

That said, i think Morley will get the MOS this year.

Another Wiganer here, who also hates the both of you.

For me the only reason a club would look to sign Graham over Morley is because he is younger. Big Aide has been one of the top 3 props in the world for years now and his massive impact at Warrington cannot be underestimated. He is one of the nicest people going off the pitch and a sheer animal on it. He plays the game how it should be played; he gets in the oppositions faces and always looks for the big shots on his opposite number.

Graham on the other hand has a good engine, he will literally run his blood to water and gain great yards, he is also a good support player and has good handling skills for a big fella. Apart from that he IMO offers little else, he bottles it when he gets a slap (See incidents with Feka and more recently JJB) and is more interested in complaining to the referee and moaning like a spoilt teenager than doing what all good props should be doing i.e. banjoing them with a massive hit or smacking them there and then.

Saints fans will try and justify this, but for me it shows what a big girls blouse he is. Walking off the pitch in a huff and refusing to shake hands with the Leeds lot. Disgusting behaviour for a Pro.

Adrian Morley is a player whose reputation precedes him; the Aussies have genuine respect and fear him a little

Graham on the other hand has a very long way to go before he has half the reputation of Moz and if the game against Leeds was shown in Aus then I have no doubt that the Kangaroos pack will have a field day knocking him around the pack until he dummy spits again.

Morley is a legend in the British game, Jammer is a long way behind.

Is JG a great player....YES..............Can he handle the pressure of an aggressive full contact sport...NO................Hes a typical fiery ginger its built into their make up somewhere to loose it as soon as things aint goin their way ive seen many like him in my lifetime and women are worse than men. I think its hillarious surprised the bookies aint latched on to it yet ( which minute will JG loose the plot). Leeds have the key to open that box now and will use it at their will.

take your glasses off fellow warrington fans. JG is immense.

yes ,but his weakness is he loses his box and that is what is being exploited

When else has he done it?

He kept pretty calm on the pitch when they were trying to rip his shoulder out.
