There will be very few Scots there. I live half hour from Murrayfield and so far the only Scots I know attending are a few from work who I invited.

Feka is a cracking impact prop, but lets get real, for his age, Graham is one of the most outstanding props going.

Better than any prop we have by a mile, lets be honest.

I dont think anyone is doubting Graham as a player. Truthfully though, i would rather have Sam Burgess.

I think this calls for a stat or two, just to show you some sense.

I rate Sam, but I couldn't take him over Graham, do you think you're opinion would be different if Graham played for Bradford or another club perhaps?

Not really, Burgess last season was excellent, by his own standards he hasnt hit that this year so far.

Graham is a highly paid sportsman and if the RFL tell his club to play on the moon at 3am he should just put up or get a job like the rest of us.

He should keep his mouth shut. You would have thought one of his team mates has given the game enough negative publicity.

According to the quotes I've read in the Times blog, Graham has a pop at the number of fixtures (as have many other players) and he questioned whether the MM concept actually drew in that many people from the local area.

Sounds fair enough IMO.

Point is - why is he in the press saying the players don't like an event 5 days before it's due to start?

We have a hard enough job promoting the sport without our own players belittling the RFL's efforts to take the sport to new areas.

Plus his comments about the number of locals watching in Cardiff is a bit disingenuous when you consider that the RFL took the Magic Weekend away from Cardiff for that very reason.

Sam through injury played 20% less games that James, but still he was no where near as good www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009 I dont think he should've spoke out though, it not his place.
