Burgess knee

Ellis possible fractured foot

Heard 3 weeks each.

Never mind.

At least James Graham isn't injured and he's still ripping it up in the NRL and absolutely caning it.

74 metres gained today, 17 tackles and 8 hit-ups.

Well it makes a change for Burgess to not have injured his shoulder

Burgess is injured more than he is fit, lucky Souths have plenty left in the Cap to afford the luxury of a player on massive money that hardly plays.

Graham has adjusted his game from the pressure of SL where every game is like SOO week in week out.










Just joking Poms

Not quite ripping it up compared to Paul Gallen, 18 tackles, 32 hit-ups & 250m made.

I honestly can't see why Souths keep him. You are right about him being injured more than he is fit.

His nickname is 'Sicknote Sam'

Whats even more puzzling is that Souths legend John Sattler said he is the only current Souths forward he would have had in his team back in their glory days.





I think Manlys John Bucknell must have punched poor old Satts in the 1970 Grand final harder than we thought

Could it be our favourite Aussie troll is back?!

A player bred in the NRL against a player 5 games into his first ever season in a new country and a "more competitive and better overall" competition? Give over.

That and JG doesn't even start makes this a hugely unfair argument.

sonny bill williams by far the best 2nd row nrl has had he was allways injured whats your point?

james graham looks like he is trying to get used to hes team and he doesnt have the same command as he did at saints when or if he gets it he will back up there he just needs to light a fire under hes when hes taking a drive in. he defo made more than 17 tackles today aswell!

jonsey name me an aussies prop and a proper prop not a 2nd row playing prop who plays more mins than graham?

Why are you asking me?
I could not give a Rats Arse how many minutes they play.

just asking as your rubbishing graham's ability to match the intensity of the nrl

Settle Petal.
You know what Grahams nickname is at Canterbury? BUPA after the Health insurance company that show a really unfit person that needs help.

i know and aiden toleman is he from superleague aswell? as the look like twins



but i dont see how this has any reflection on graham as player.

You have no idea at all do you?

i would ask you to enlighten me but i really cant be bothered its to hot and i am not really that intrested.

James Graham is an ok (ish) interchange player but thats about it. Hasler wasn't too pleased about the Bulldogs signing him but obviously there wasn't a lot he could do about that.

You can double Grahams stats if you want, give him a couple of years if you want, he’ll never be in the same class as Gallen.

As long as they are fit and on form going into October 2013.

I believe we actually have a chance if our best players can perform to their best.

Gallen is a machine and currently comparable to nobody.

I was being flippant earlier - it was in response to some of the threads on here several weeks ago about how three Englishmen were ripping up the NRL between them and totally dominating it. Graham will do very well in the NRL. He'll not be a stand out player like he was in SL but he will be a solid and effective player.

A chance of what?

Making the final? Yes. Home advantage and all that.

Winning the World Cup? No chance.

That’s a fair assessment re Gallen & Graham, I was unaware of the other threads you alluded to, however, players ripping up the competition is banded about quite a bit from some quarters.

Burgess will be retired by the time he's 28 at this rate

Why not? Lose the first game against Aus... win the rest. Beat NZ on home soil as we have done many times... and then it comes down to a one off game infront of our own fans against Aus.
