James Graham desperate to join an NRL club! : Fri Oct 01, 2010 8:21 am  

Barry McKenzie has learned today James Graham is desperate to be released from his Saint Helens contract a year early and has asked his agent to get him a job with an NRL club.


He will certainly be going all out to impress in the grand final and particularly in the 4 nations which can only be good for Saint Helens and England I suppose.

I know his people have approached 7 NRL clubs but as of now only one are interested.


Ignoring the fact he looks like a milk bottle with ginger hair... is he actually any good?

Guess you cant blame him for trying

Any official statements?

The source was from the manager of a former SL player that I'm friendly with.

I was hoping if someone else could confirm it from Saint Helens

It's not secret he likes the thought

He was good enough to be honest at a Fans Forum and said "I'd like to go but owe everything I am to Saints so at the moment I'm still 50/50"

i think one more year at Saints would go alright for him. Especially given the extra support he's going to have in the front row next year.

Sure Barry - just give Saints a call. I'm sure they'll respond openly regarding the future of one of their leading players to a random message board loon.

HTH.

Doesnt really help if I'm brutally honest

When I asked if anyone from Saint helens knew anything I really meant from the area in general rather than the club. Maybe something was in your local paper? Or on the radio?

That kind of thing.

HTH
