James Graham

[chunk]

I know its only one game but he certainly showed tonight that he is world class.

I hope he keeps it up, I think it adds something to our game to see an Englishmen mixing it with the best.

 

[Brutus]

I've always been a fan of this guy.

Is as tough as they come and has some great ball skills.

Dally M prop of the year = James Graham

 

[sputneek]

He played well, probably cause the conditions resemble england's weather, and he is a star.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Could be rookie of the year too, couldn't he?

I don't know why anyone would be surprised that he's good. He's been England's best player of the last few years, and that includes Ellis and Burgess, so he's hardly going to struggle against Penriff.

Could be wrong, but doesn't playing internationals disqualify you for rookie of the year?
Playing them before debut that is.

No

 

[RABK]

As good as he was tonight i thought Grant was twice as good. Good for the blues to see Mannah and Grant show some great form first up.

 

[MacDougall]

If Galloway continues to rise then the blues will actually have a decent front row rotation.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

It wasn't a serious question. Just making the point that he is technically an NRL rookie. He's already better than 90% of props in the comp and probably on par with the rest.

 

[Didgi]

Nope, it's been discussed with Burgess, Ellis etc.

Panthers have two of the best props going round in McKendry and Grant.

He was outstanding James Graham and showed he is one of the best props in the world (not that he hadn't already which is why he has the awards he does)

Hopefully shuts up the haters. He is a gun.

Tough as nails, the work he did, along with the help with his footwork to help set up the Barba try along with the fact he copped that madssive swinging arm and get up and walk it off. TOUGH merkin.

Agree, he is going to be up there with Matt Scott and anyone else considered so good. Will get better and better when he learns the team. Stoked to have him wrapped up for his prime and 3 years.

 

[RABK]

Matt Scott is in a class of his own. Only Gallen if he made a permanent swap could match what he produces week in, week out.

Hannant, Mannah, Civoneceva - Graham could be in their class.

 

[LeedsStorm]

Rookie?? He's played over 200 first grade :roll:

Graham is more skilfull than Scott.

Both great props though.

No shit genius. But not in the NRL. And you can hardly call Super League first grade anyway with the amount of reserve graders in it.

 

[dogslife]

Both great props though.

Be interesting to see if Des taps into his ball playing abilities, he's definitely skilled enough

 

[Y2Eel]

He has more ball playing ability then all of the halves and hookers in at the club...

I think you ment in your club.

haha we have Sandow and Roberts and our halves are still better then what you have...
