Wish FM said he had signed, but can't find anything on any websites. I think they also said it was a 3 year deal.

im sure he wouldnt be "poop if he was going to the HJ next season, nowt like missing the boat eh

Graham would be daft to refuse the oppurtunity to play in the NRL IMO

Thing is thats your opinion - James Graham like any person looking at employment oportunities has to weigh up pro's and con's - its a personal choice and if he's settled where he is with his family and friends earning good money that might be enough for him.

jeeez that's a fair old benchmark for any player! perry is a very good prop and will be well liked by the fans i.m.o

Hes better than Fairleigh. To be honest hes one of the best props in the world. If you keep Ginge also you will have 2 of the best props in the world and defo the best 2 in the comp

I hope you're right, but Fairleigh came after being named NRL front rower of the year.....

Starting for NSW in the State Of Origin opener on SkySports1 right now.

Fairleigh was a lot more mobile than Perry.

Played well in his first stint. Looks like he puts in alot of work in defence and takes the ball up all day.

Defensively sound but hardly made any meters.

Its State of Origin you numpty. Do you really expect him to make busts ?

He made no less metres than Weyman, White and Scott. I can see you're trying to make a negative comment towards a possible St Helens player. However i wont wash with me.

This thread is about Perry, not the others. How can saying he's been defensively sound be negative.
Have you sorted his flat in Parr out yet?

Wasent that impressed in the end but he was have something about him be in the top 4 Australia props this year (Australia selection) and fact your regular Super league game is no State of Origin.

Interesting to see the likes of Michael Jennings (Penrith) are nowhere near selection. I would splash a fortune to get that lad.

I recorded the SOO game because I was at school when it was played. I'm interested to see how Perry plays on the biggest stage of all.

Oops, jet lag or knot prooved red, kind regards. John B

I have seen perry play when on tv over last few years and i have always rated him as a good hard working honest prop, but don't try and compare him to fairleigh as they ain't same style of player. Big dave was a classy prop as well as a hard worker, perry is more of a hard take no $hit grafter.

IMO he was pretty poor by his normal high level in origin and is a lot better than that, if it's true that he's signed for next year i will be very happy.

Perry, jammer, tony p and maurie would be the perfect 4some if maurie gets form back and gets another deal.

So it's official, he has signed a 3 year deal. [urlhttp://www.saintsrlfc.com/news/2616[/url

Excellent

this pleases me

Great news, we'll have some pack next year.

"I'm really looking forward to joining St.Helens,” he said, “and in particular playing alongside fellow prop James Graham.

So hopefully, we can put the rumours of Perry being a direct replacement for Graham to bed now???

what a pack we'll have next year. puletua and fassavalu as cover too.

Brilliant news.
