He just doesnt want another game of being in Fekas pocket.

However, would take Graham over Feka any day . . . regardless of previous dummy spitting incidents. Could never say he's been in Feka's pocket.

I also agree with him on the subject matter. Another RFL project pushing the boundaries where it is not needed / wanted. How many Scots will genuinely be coming to the event?

I love the weekends don't get me wrong, but rugby leageu needs help in the heartlands at the moment, not touring in places temporarily without the additional funding and infrastructure being pushed. Its a half-hearted job by the RFL.

You're probably right. I was stood next to a load of sintelliners at the 16 all game last season, and they were all banging on about how Feka should be sent off, and how the ref was blind, and one thing and another.

Never mind the fact that a) Feka's challenge was legal, given Graham's role as dummy runner, and b) Graham ran 20 metres just for a fight.

In the last game, Feka was immense against him.

I can't wait for the match this weekend, personally, and even more so now Graham's spat his dummy out yet again - only this time, he's kept with true St Helens tradition, and spat it out IN ADVANCE of a fixture with us! Muppet.

He certainly was on Maundy Thursday.

On current form, I'd take Feka over a good many prop forwards in SL at the minute. I certainly include Graham in that list.

Thought Graham was their best player.

Graham is a Fielden just waiting to happen, played far to much RL for a player of his age. If Saints are not careful he will burn out within the next 3 seasons.

Maybe thats why he says he wants the magic weekend and the Easter Monday games scraped as well

It's only because he'll miss frolocking with the St Helens Ladies: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNH8XIt9FRg If that's his opinion, I wonder if he'd be willing to take a pay cut?

He's talking complete sense to me about the MM weekend. The RFL would be better focusing on the International game IMO with a game now against France.

The MM is a nice week end out if you can make it but as an RL development exercise I doubt it achieves much. The novelty of the concept has worn off and it will only get publicity if they keep moving it every few years to a knew area.

I think its a huge effort for very little pay back.

Graham was excellent on Maundy Thursday, as he has been all year. Granted he didn't trample all over players (and Feka had his best game against Saints IMO, was very very good) but that isn't his game.

If you had Graham in your side rather than Feka, you wouldn't be 9th IMO.

We would

Well, I think my imaginary scenario is more realistic than yours

We would. Him and his ginger nut would probably squeal to the press about it.

Graham is simply top draw and i think we all know that. If only we had a prop like him we wouldn't find oursleves in such a sorry position but the guy wants to learn when to keep his mouth shut!

This is the game that pays his wages and instead of whinging about the Magic weekend he could do himself a favour and the rest of us and keep his mouth shut.

If him or any other player aren't happy about playing in it then fair enough but keep those gripes in house and take them up with the relavant people at the right time.

well im glad that they arent scrapping the magic weekend.

It is a great weekend for the fans and I definately enjoy watching rugby league in less developed areas.

Graham needs to learn when to keep his gob shut!

The MM weekend is skys baby, they want it, they promote it, like it or not the vast vast majority of money in RL comes from sky, if they pull the plug we are fecked!!!!

we are in a recession, if Graham thinks its pointless he should discuss it with his own club or declare himself unfit, not go mouthing off in the press.

The final straw for Graham was when sky asked him to put one of those tartan flat caps on over his ginger wig to promote the game around Edinburgh

Couldn't agree more.

There will be very few Scots there. I live half hour from Murrayfield and so far the only Scots I know attending are a few from work who I invited.

Feka is a cracking impact prop, but lets get real, for his age, Graham is one of the most outstanding props going.

Better than any prop we have by a mile, lets be honest.

I dont think anyone is doubting Graham as a player. Truthfully though, i would rather have Sam Burgess.

I think this calls for a stat or two, just to show you some sense.
