James Graham : Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:29 pm  

There may well be a thread about him somewhere, but he was my man of the match yesterday. An absolutely collossal performance from the big man yesterday, he was everywhere. I bet he's the only prop in the game that can big hit somebody, get up and then chase back to big hit Sam Tomkins within 10 seconds when he's breaking through and looking dangerous. He summed up the whole Saints performance yesterday with his determined, never say die attitude and in that form, he's impossible to replace. A Saints legend without doubt.

For me he's the best prop in the world

He was a man mountain yesterday that's for sure. Only one more 'home' game now for him and us. Our last chance at the qualifying playoff to say goodbye to him properly. He will certainley be missed.

Will be a massive loss to us. It was a true Captain's performance. On a side note i think Wilkin was outstanding too and we miss him a great deal when he doesnt play, he has that creative spark and strike capability the likes of Dixon and Ashurst lack.

Re: James Graham : Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:44 pm  

What makes him different is that he has a good short passing game, unusual for a prop who runs quickly at the line.
Hope he,s back with us in 3 years time, we need to fix him up with a local girlfriend for 2015.

Wilkin has been very good this year.

I'd love to see his stats from sunday. He must have done 40+ tackles

The pass by Graham for the lms try was something Wigan did in the final for Lima to score his two.

Re: James Graham : Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:57 pm  

I don't think it is just his amazing energy and durability and skill we will miss, but his determination to win and his passion for it. We lost our way a bit during the final 15 minutes - probably afraid of losing the game - but he had eyes for every threat and was determined to lead us to a win. He was absolutely outstanding and no matter how good the prop is who may or may not take his shirt, I think he is irreplacable because of his passion for the team and how that drives him.
