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.

Wouldn't really argue with that comment to much. Gallen is the best forward in the game, prop or backrow.

Scott is a gun, however i think so far Grahams time was better then Scott's tonight. In saying that Scott last year was probz a bit better.

Hannant doesn't deserve to be mentioned anywhere near that list, he hasn't been a shadow of his 2009 form for multiple years now. Might as well have Shillington, Lahrs, Eastwood etc with him in that list. None have been a top player for a few years now. Not saying they are shit, just not what they did produce recently.

I would have thought that having performed well against Australia that he wouldn't really need to prove anything

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

In case you missed the game, they are a huge reason you lost a 6-0 lead to 18-6. Disgusting game from the pair. Now some eel fans know why roberts was let go by the dogs.

Graham was always going to be good to great. When you are buying an English International you are buying a quality footballer. Really when was the last time an English international really failed at a club maybe Davies and Platt in 1995 but both were years past their prime.

Morley,Ellis and Burgess have all been very good for their clubs and will continue to be i wouldn't be surprised if more English players come here Ellis and Morley have been 2 of the best forwards in the NRL over the past decade and Graham and Burges both have enormous potential to reach that standard.

In reserve grade where he belongs, just like Ben Roberts, good thing our coach realises it and yours doesn't

Yeah wasnt so shit in 09 along a good halfback......

How is Keating going by the way?

Thats the problem, you don't have a good halfback. You have a overpriced overhyped speed bump, who kicks into the backs and drops the ball. He is crap. So is roberts, fits in well at the eels.

Doesnt suprise me Graham played well tonight. He was the named the best prop in the world 2 years in a row, and was inspirational for St Helens making the Grand Final.

He'll be a great buy for Canterbury.

It is no surprise,the ESL has some world class players,they just dont get the recognition they should,in recent times Morley and Ellis have proved this,just wish he came to the WestsTigers.
Good luck to the Dogs,they have got a gem,Des surely has to start him next week,Kasiano isn't half the player Graham is.

Didnt see the game as i went out for dinner after the raiders but Joel Caine was raving about him on the AM on the way home. Sounds like he's showed his class. I think he'll be a great signing for the dogs
