Plodding ball hog

He has more skills than Ah Mau who hasn't passed a ball in years.

LAM has offloaded plenty- you're not watching well

 

[dangerousdave]

That is exactly my point he has his hands on the ball in far too many plays.
Its not about whether he passes it or not it is the sheer fact that he demands the ball far too often.
If you have a prop getting his hands on the ball from the dummy half as much as he does then you will look just like the Dogs do.

Well it's a fair point but I think Canterbury's lack of an organising #7 since Hodkinson left has seen JG forced to put his hand up for tough hit ups while the rest of the team stands around flat footed behind the ruck.

His willingness to do this is a virtue and shows what a competitor he is.

 

[Crush]

Yes. Graham will be a real leader.
2018 is looking gooooooood....

Don't disagree with your post I just don't think he is the correct fit for us
We need our backline to work uninhibited and for the forwards to get out of their road and thus will help decrease the workload the pigs currently do

A mate of mine's brother has sources at Canterbury and says it's been done n dusted for weeks. Unless something has changed, some figures being thrown around like 600k year one and 500k for the following 2, are grossly inflated.

Obviously nothing will be announced before this week's game and probably not until our season is over.

P.s. This guy has had good mail on Dogs before but this is a big test if credibility as far as I'm concerned. Remaining cautiously optimistic re: amount paid.

8. Graham
9. McIness
10. Vaughan
11. Thommo
12. Frizz
13. JDB

14. Sims
15. Ah Mau
16. Leilua
17. Mann

18. Host
19. Sele
20. Lawrie


Looks good to me. Leilua takes Sele's spot as he's more effective in short spurts as a creative ball player. While Host gets groomed to take Thommo's spot in 2019.

Kinda a catch 22. Part of the reason this is potentially such a great signing is JG's competitiveness.

Still, I'd give him a pass if he wanted to switch off tomorrow.

 

[ALSGI]

Only if he throws us a couple of intercept passes, knocks on a few times and gets sent off in the first 20mins tomorrow.

Yeh agree ALSGI, that should confirm whether he's going to be with us or not.

 

[St Tangles]

If he has signed with some of our young players getting a few games this year our depth is looking good for next year in the forwards.

I'm not so confident with the outside backs hopefully another signing or 2 up our sleeve.

I really hope 1 or 2 of the young backs step up.
Lomax is the one who stands out to me.

 

[MrDragon007]

i wouldnt mind young Danny Fualalo from the dogs, and Raymond Faitala -Mariner. Two young hard running bulls, that whack hard in defence. These 2 young bulls are hands down 5 times better then any young forwards we have coming through.
Id take them two over lawrie, sele, and host any day of the week. and thats not meant as a knock on our youngsters, the are good, but not as good as those two from the dogs.

James Hooper also

Done deal just checked.
Unless something happens.
3years with a option in our favour.
First year we paying less 50%
Then around 450 gor the next 2
So all good.

Afraid to say it is a knock on who we have coming through.

No chance of eithre coming so i see no point even mentioning their names.
