graham would and never did go hiding, for me he is just awsome, and yes he does carry the saints pack, graham targeted houghton all game and credit to danny he stood his ground, imo, the only player in sl that goes missing after a big hit and verbals, is clint coward newton.

radford might be able to confirm this

Well said that man,Graham's a good un who never takes a backward step.As for the mouth known as Newton you have it spot on,usually targets the smaller players.

Strange how suddenly he was out on his feet just after that incident. Only a few mins before he was driving the ball in and looked fine.

Maybe you're right then and the guy has no bottle. No doubt he'll throw in the towel now and join a kibbutz

Do you seriously think he was scared?

If someone thinks James Graham was scared they need their heads reading. He won't have wanted to bring on to the team a penalty or a sin binning (leaving them in an even worse position player-wise) and if he'd already lost his cool over the Roby incident then he will have kept his mouth shut. If he did lose his cool over Roby that will likely be because he thought there was something bad about the incident rather than him simply being injured. Graham hasn't lost his cool at all this season so far and we have had some other players quite badly injured during matches.

James Graham, like Roby and Eastmond, is one of the best players in his position in the league at present. He is also a great motivator and leader on the field. He sometimes throws some daft ball but other than that he never puts a foot wrong, he never stops and his commitment to Saints is incredible. He does way more than he should.

My guess is that fans of all teams in this country would love a James Graham in their side: someone who was committed to the club, who gave his all in every match, and who was a top player in his position. I'd love us to have more James Grahams at Saints but unfortunately we don't have. The other forwards, when they actually make it on the field, aren't half his talent or his commitment.

Anyone who seriously thinks Graham was scared of anyone needs to watch a few more matches. The guy is tough as nails. I've never seen him take a backwards step. He's also one of the few world class players we have produced in this country in recent years.

Quite.

I thought initially it was tongue in cheek comments or people still bit drunk from the euphoria of the game but it is Sunday now and people are still claiming Graham is some kind of coward

Not scared but sometimes in a game people go missing after such incidents. I remember Greenhill doing the same thing after Barry Mac went face to face with him. Sometime a player can get unsettled and from that moment on Friday Graham was not interested in taking the hit ups.

Yeah, that's exactly what I said Jake
