Don't you just miss him. : Tue Nov 26, 2013 2:45 pm  

Just watched the replay of Saturdays game with the Kiwi's. It must be the best game I have watched for a very long time; the game had it all, no quarter asked and none given. It was thrills, spills and some great skills throughout. The only downside was seeing James Graham again on English soil. It made me realise just how much he has been missed at LP. His work rate was tremendous, as always. Everything about his game has improved, handling skills, tackling, awareness, fitness you name it he has got it all. It would be a dream come true if he were to come back some time to captain the side to to it's earlier superleague glories. Oh yes; if he want's to bring his mate Sam with him you would not hear me complain.

He was excellent. For me his best bit of play wasn't a great run or tackle but when he tracked back to cover the NZ break in the first half.
He didn't get sucked in to make the tackle but just held his line of running perfectly to stop the inside pass that would have been a certain try. Really intelligent play.

We sure do miss him, but its also nice to see a Saints lad doing well for himself. Pity we have struggled so much without him.

I tell you who I haven't missed through this world cup - Stevo. The BBC coverage has been very refreshing and, while not perfect, a lot more enjoyable than Sky's current lot. They even had Jiffy enjoying himself!

Nonesense, the BBC coverage has been awful. The real showstopper about the World Cup has been Premier Sports coverage. Soooo much better than Sky. No awful gimmicky prediction graphics, no made up stats by Clarke, no 'Leeds have won today because they've played like Wigan' rubbish, none of Ed and Steve. Andrew Voss is the way to go. If I were in charge of Sky Sports I would pay him to live here and commentate on Super League. He has been fantastic.

Got to say that BBC is improved without Ray French, but still not a patch on Vossy. Gutted I don't have Premier Sports as I've been reduced to the local games I've been to and England games on BBC.

I've watched every game in the World Cup either on premier sports or live and loved it. Vossy is brilliant.

Vossy and maybe Carney as the commentary pairing, if clarkie wants to hang around he should only be a guest commentator once in a blue moon.

We we ask ex-players or coachs to be guest each week.

OT and the reason i came here, the saint club shop, does it sell personalized mugs or do you have to buy them online?
