If the referee had any bottle Graham would have been marched back so many times. Like early in the game when he kicks the ball away when we get a penalty. What was the need? Ok not picking it up is bad but its not doing anything wrong eg McIllorum when he pretended he was gonna pick it up then ran off but Graham actually kicks it away not only is it stupid it is incredibly petty and shows him up as a bit of a childish "spit your dummy out" kind of guy.

If he does this sort of thing in Australia the refs will destroy him and he wont improve as a player at all.

thats just stpuid of both the club and the player,
playing with a bulging disk, is just stupid, stupid, and yet again stupid.

This.

There's nothing big or clever about it. If that's the seriousness of his injury then I hope he doesn't have a young family etc because in 10 years time he won't be able to enjoy it when he can't crawl out of bed.

just shows his natural state

Err finch looked like he was flicking a wasp away most of the game so you cant really comment there.

ahh what it actually was the fact he was playing with a bulging disk, whenever he moved or spoke it pressed on his spinal column resulting in his arms flailing around

Lost power to his legs . Lost his sight during the match. No one doubts his bravery to the Saints cause, but the Saints coaches knowing this and still allowed him to come back on, need shooting . The phrase DUTY OF CARE comes to mind.

If all that is said about James Graham's injuries are true, the club need to take a look at Ian Knott Any rivalry aside, player welfare is paramount and I'm sure most fans wouldn't want this to happen to anyone brave enough to step onto the field. Warrington have done this for Moz, and I for one am happy his life/safety comes first. www.rflbenevolentfund.co.uk/comm ... -ian-knott

Graham is clearly not 100% at the moment. I'm sure he wanted to play and put his hand up to do so. Brave or foolish? (Probably a combination of the two IMO).

However, I was talking about this on the drive home after the match on Saturday. What concerns me most about it is that if Graham was going to be playing for Saint Helens next season I don't think they'd be risking playing him at the moment (big game or not). It appears to be a bit hard nosed on their part to seemingly be prepared to get him out on the field at potentially high cost.

If this continues, I'd be amazed if he played any role for England this Autumn and at this rate he'll be jetting off to Australia a broken man.
