After next week's test I wonder if he will announce his retirement from International matches. I think this has been his most ineffective series. Not made the same yards he has in previous years, less impact in the tackle and not being used for his 'ball handling'. With big dynamic props such as Taylor, Watts, Walmsley and with Sam Burgess to come back in, I think many of the props have gone ahead of Graham in the pecking order for me.

Great player in his day, just think with preparation for the World Cup, the focus should be put on the others

I can’t see him retiring but it’s another player along with O’Loughlin you have to question their age moving towards the next WC. Unlike O’Loughlin, Graham probably will still be playing at club level in 2021 but will be aged 36.

I see where you’re coming from. Bennett & England need to be careful. Most will have the same opinion of SOL.

These types of players are more valuable to the team than their performance in terms of influence on others etc

Sounds a bit harsh given his contributions over the years, but he was poor on Sunday. Almost completely anonymous.
I think he did take a knock in a tackle early in the game though, so perhaps that had something to do with it.

Graham looked concussed to me so a bit harsh to judge on Sunday’s performance.

If he was concussed then that raises a whole heap of questions.

Depends.he is one to keep an eye on.i think he has been decent series. If his club form warrants selection then he should be picked and i don't think he should or will retire after this test.

O’Loughlin should retire from internationals after this series. Graham is still one of the best props we have and should play on for England in 2019.

Agree if he wants to let him has long has he does not let anyone down he himself will know when he is no good

Graham is still playing in the best league in the world, he’ll still be playing international footy long after Chris Hill and Sean O’Loughlin (who rightly so should end his international career this year)

Graham has been fine IMO. According to the stats I’ve seen on the League Live all he was our top metre making prop yesterday with 137m from 13 carries. He’s a leader and there’s a couple of years left in him yet. We can talk about building for the World Cup all we want but we need to win games and series ‘now’. This side is looking very good and a World Cup would be lovely but I’m hoping we’ll have an Ashes series at some point before that and I’d love to think Graham would be around for that.

Jammer still has the tools to the job at prop for England and or GB in the near future. Whether that stretches another 3 years to the next world cup remains to be seen, but that really applies to all the 18 players used so far in this test series, with the exception of SOL.

It was a very tough game for our pack and they all had to make very "hard yards' but they stuck to there task which is something that Jammer is very good at. Our forwards stuck at it and wouldn't go away, it was the Kiwi forwards that cracked first as there energy levels dropped. I think Brian Noble mentioned something similar in his match commentary during and after the game.

Graham has said he believes the expiration of his current contract with St George/Illawarra would see him finish in the NRL in 2020. Hinted the possibility of ending his playing career in England.

Graham is, relatively, the least of our shortcomings.

I do think Graham is still a top player but England do have some good props at the moment. If walmsley and big Sam were about then there would be some real competition for places.
I did think Graham was less effective than previous years bit he still did a good job and it was a tough kiwi pack and a side that beat the Aussies a few weeks ago.

I’d wager, injury’s permitting he will finish his career back in St Helens.

Who peed on your chips?

I don’t want to appear churlish but looking at Graham is missing the areas where we need to improve to be the world’s best. Lomax is not big enough or fast enough to be a world class FB. If we discount Hardaker then there is not much better at this stage, though I think Tomkins is a better option if we can get a pair of class HBs. Widdop is one, there are possibilities out there. Even Williams has the potential which should be realised with some decent HB coaching at Wigan. To me, Watkins & Percival are world class. Having Connor & Gildart to develop is a luxury we’ve not previously had. Plus others, such as King at Wire, have the potential. I have watched England/GB fail for nearly 40 years. I had almost given up hope; we can’t lose this opportunity.

Unless he wants to play for peanuts, I dont see it. We have Thompson and Walmsley, whilst Matty Lees has been the player of the series for the Knights against PNG, who I can see moving up to prop.

He went off for a concussion assessment

Every team needs a James Graham, because they're good for you.
