Fans SHOULD question the ability of ANY veteran signing to stay fit. The fact that he's had hardly any injuries before coming to Saints shouldn't come as that much of a surprise or be any kind of indicator that he'll stay fit for much of his time. After all, you pick up the majority of your knocks (and take longer to get over them) at the back end of your career.

Which is why we should - as much as possible - not bother and develop our own.

Can't help thinking that Graham will suffer a shortened career in much the same way as fielden has due to his workrate and long spells week in week out. I would be surprised to see him still at his peak into his thirties

Noticed this myself, we seem to be doing an extra 5 mins this season and the warm up drills look more intense. Think we have had 3 players now pulling up in the warm ups. Could this be partly the reason we don,t start the game on the front foot and give teams 10+ start because we use too much energy warming up.

Bull hicky.

I've watched the warm up Saints do, very similar to what we do at Wolverines American Football. The warm up is very focused on warming the muscles up, then stretching them to be ready to explode. The Spiderman Stretch being a great example.

You wouldn't laugh if you saw them. They look very professional in their foc All Golds shirts.

No, I play American Football, and like I said, the warm up Saints go through is very similar and designed for the muscles to be ready for explosive action.

When Perry had a decent run of games in the first half of the season, it coincided with our season picking up. He has put in some excellent Prop Forward performances.

As someone pointed out, he couldn't have a worse 1st seson than Soliola, and look at him now.
