sydney roosters have approached james graham to join them for next years nrl season

graham will ask his club for an early release from his contract

wakefield lead the race to sign brett finch

this story is in Rugby League Week

Fantastic news for the NRL bad news for Saints if true, will take him the next level playing in the NRL

any 20,21,22,23 year old rising "star" would be daft not to have a crack...even if they don't make the grade they'll be better players for it..

the tides are changing now they wanna come here

I hope he goes, will be great for the england team

Sadly for our game, that's spot on.

Be good, hopefully it'll get him concentrating on playing RL, rather than whinging about it

"Be good, hopefully it'll get him concentrating on playing RL, rather than whinging about it"

are you kidding me, can you name many other super league 80 min props, pretty sure he would need good concentration levels to uphold that!!

i'd rather think of the NRL as 'finishing school'

being a 80min prop is'nt a badge of honour these days....just ask stu fielden

Don't compare Jammer to that ****ter

Best prop in Super League by a staggering distance. I hope he goes personally. It'll further consign Saints to complete mediocrity but so be it.

by the time jammers 27,28 we will if he carries on trying to be superman..

at this rate england will have a pack capable of matching/beating australia with morley, ellis and burgess and maybe graham making it in the nrl

it still needs a 9, 7 and 1 to make it here too

Complete myth.

Playing 80 minutes a game had nothing to do with what happened to Stuart Fielden

Brilliant move for Graham and in turn will benefit England. Wish more would do this.

I really hope that this works out.

If/when it happens it can only be good for him and his game.
At least he's not a halfback, they never seem to come back as good as they went. Very strange.

How is it a good thing that our top players go and play abroad? Surely anybody can see past the short term benefit to the individual. There is a reason the aussies punish players who decide to play abroad and it isn't just because SL is a weaker competition.

Lets concentrate on finding the next Graham and let the NRL produce our England team

Good for Graham, though I doubt he will have the impact many anticipate, especially at the Roosters

Bad for SL yet another very poor Aussie looking for a pay day, I would need one hell of pay day to turn out at Belle Vue every two weeks

=#8000FFI hope you mean most over rated, just because he plays 80 minutes it doesn't make him a good prop

I'd have Peacock & Morley over him any day, at least they don't try and find the floor as soon as they make contact unless it's inside the opponents 10. At this stage last season, even though he played more minute Ewan Dowes & Craig Huby had more tackles, less errors and a higher average metres per carry, so he isn't that good is he. He will flop in the NRL unless he drops his playing time and concentrates on trying to make a line break not finding the deck or pretending to be a stand off.

Go ask any SL coach you like whether they'd prefer to be naming Graham, Huby or Dowes on their team sheet.

Your opinion is quite, quite mad.

Everyone knows that the NRL has more class than SL. Any English player going over there is only going to improve and benefit the England team.

I'd be happy with graham going to aus to improve the national side, id also be very happy for finch to come to us too.

Yeah I agree, he's terrible. Someone better call Sydney Roosters and tell them. While we are at it, better mention it to all the players in SL who voted him Man of Steel and the writers/former players who voted him into the World X111.
